Fix the game

Yes. I am crashing very easily from anything having to do with "ALT" and pressing another button at the same time. It is the most crash happy game ever since the last 2-3 versions. I dont want to have to say this, but this is the truth. Then skulk models vanish completly and the ui can go missing aswell; something which can only be fixed by a restart of the game. Also with the newest version sometimes it does slow down to a HORRIBLE lag, which can only be fixed by rejoining the server, but then your slot is gone. I had none of these bugs in any of the versions before. Never have i liked a game so much on one hand and it has been so ANNOYING to be able to play on the other hand.

    its possible that the game is crashing from running out of memory. have you installed any programs recently that might be running in the background? it may very just be the game though :/

    16GB RAM here and i have rarely seen the game use more then 2GB in the Task Manager. Alongside that i got an i5 3570k (not overclocked) and a GTX 660 on a Gigabyte Mobo. Checked for background apps, drivers and verify cache in steam.

    You are correct, I do notice I crash when hitting ALT; I'm not sure if all my crashes are related to this, but I def crash when either hitting alt or checking the scoreboard (note I'm not alt tabbing)

    Here is a quick re-bind for you though

    Request Medpack - V
    Taunt - F3
    Use voice - F
    Flashlight/Alien vision - K
    Weapon Quickswitch - Q

    I never crash when hitting alt. And you can be sure I hit it often as I like to alt tab out.
    Then again, I run in windowed mode. :) You?

    We're in fullscreen, my rebind I posted above is simple to use and should stop the issue

    I do crash like one time on 2 or 3 (or 4 ?) everytime I alt-tab. Might be related.

    All about luck when I want to alt-tab :/.

    But I use "alt" to talk; and I never crashed from talking AFAICR.

    ALT as voicechat hotkey is pretty annoying when you want to check the stats(ALT+TAB). I now use the third Mousebutton for voice but an option to disable ALT+TAB would be nice though.
