Game crashes when any map is loaded - unable to complete "one time optimization".

Pandademic · August 2013

Since 253/254: main menu loads with super low graphics for 5-10 seconds then reloads with normal graphics. Popup to perform one time optimization: 2-5 minutes of compiling but game crashes when it finishes precaching. Nuked my installation and tried again. Then again, this time changing the dx9/dx11/opengl setting. Same crash each time, same prompt to perform optimization.

Mainboard : Asus P8H61-M
Chipset : Intel H61
Processor : Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3300 MHz
Physical Memory : 4096 KB (2 x 2048 DDR3-SDRAM )

Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Home Edition Media Center 6.01.7601 Service Pack 1 (64-bit)

Always played on lowest settings. Now I can't play.

Log.

Not sure if it'll help, but try the suggestion here:

Yes, saw that, tried that. Deleted the entire NS2 folder before rebooting/reinstalling. No change.

You are running a fantastic number of mods. By my count 39.

It would be pretty good to try disabling/removing them and see if that fixes things. I suspect it might.

All maps, but not sure why they were in log after I deleted my workshop folder. Steam sync maybe? I'll try disabling that and nuking again, as well as unsubscribing them all.

This also happened to me, deleting files didn't help and for some reason I experience incredible stuttering (with 25-40 fps) which makes the game unplayable.

edit: never mind, disabling compositing helped, performance is ok now, but biodome runs worse than other maps.

I can't seem to get rid of the mods. I unsub'd everything, uninstalled from steam, deleted the appdata/roaming folder, unclicked the steam sync for NS2, rebooted, then reinstalled: but when I try to run any map it starts downloading all those mods again. What did I miss!? Workshop still show's me with zero subscriptions, even the ones it redownloaded. Game still crashes after precaching. Still unable to play the game in any capacity.
