It's interesting as groups of people are crashing at the same time, 5 people crashed on the Alien team and 3 on ours at one point. I didn't realise it until I reconnected back into the game. Some people didn't crash at all, it happened 4 times to me that match.
Instances when I recall it crashing:
Opening the tab menu
Opening the escape menu
Some comm related tasks
In battle (happens quite a bit)
Respawning
Opening up the prototype lab (I believe it was a mod causing)
I wonder if the updated font manager has something to do with it. It's pretty easy to make the game crash now.

Please run techsupport.exe when NS2 is crashed and the window is STILL OPEN.. even if its black.
Sometimes it can be difficult to navigate to it, so make a shortcut to your start bar temporarily.
It will create a large dump file in a zip folder after a few minutes... upload this to somewhere online and link it here.
It is the fastest method for devs to fix crashes.
No crashes so far on the new build. Still getting slight weird rubberbanding from time to time, but it seems to be less severe when it happens.
However now I'm having issues with workshop, getting missing required mod errors, mod not found on workshop errors and funkiness with workshop subcriptions, console saying "mod " not found" on game startup etc seems to be totally random. Done the usual unsubscribe and remove mods. Weird.

Just yesterday I reported to matso that I coincidentally spotted (server console) one of those cases where 4 players timed out at the same time. One of them immediately said his client crashed and I assume the others suffered the same fate. It does look like the servers are sending something bad which causes a flock of clients to crash. 8-X
