Beta 4 & Crashing

in NS General Discussion
<div class="IPBDescription">Frequent.</div> Before Beta 4 I would maybe crash out of NS 2-3 times a month, now its 5 times a match, and usually when I'm comming, this has killed NS for me, I was wondering if anyone has noticed a steady increase in crashing with the new beta.

(sorry if its in wrong forum plz move to where appropriate if it is)

    I crash automatically whenever I try to set the gamma (for some reason, beta4 has made the game too overbright: not just more lighting, but the menu items and such seem to "bleed" like HDR effects. Sometimes the maps are too dark to see much of anything. And I can't seem to fix it, because as soon as I hit "apply" on my video settings, the game crashes.

    But then, this is probably too vague to be helpful for the devs in tracking down unless other people have the same issues. It might help if you posted your computer specs, because for all we know, you could have the wrong driver sets.

    doubtful that this is a bug, but perhaps it's worth discussing. phasing to discussion.

    I have always had crash issues when I try to both talk over voice, move, and fight at the same time. It is entirely possible that the problem is on my end (such as the adjustments I've had to make to cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate to make the game playable when NOT talking), but I figured I'd throw it out as a reason.

    My solution, naturally, is to not fight and talk at the same time, but pulling that off has required learning a few tricks.

    Mine has been crashing too. I have a ATI 9700 pro, and it has just recently been crashing after the last steam update and ns patch. I'm running the latest drivers, and it is still crashing.

    When you set gamma, does the game close then open again, or does it actually crash ("FATAL ERROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I assume it's trying to restart the engine, like it's supposed to, but instead it just freezes immediately when I hit the apply button and I ahve to ctrl-alt-del. Sometimes the sound will loop.

    And the thing is, this doesn't happen in any of the other mods I have. Only in NS.

    I have been crashing often when I try to go into the console (steam menus), I check the console often to see what is going on, but as of late NS has been crashing my entire system occasionally when I do it, a windows mouse cursor appears on top of the ns display and I can do nothing more but reboot.

    It does not happen every time but it is still quite often, since I check the console so much I end up crashing in 3/4 of my games of NS.
