Hey everyone. Recently been having my tf2 freeze the moment I join a game. Have not changed anything which may have caused this. Help? xxxxx

No my tf2 completely crashes AFTER I join a server. As far as i can tell from your post is that you have the problem where you cannot join any servers when you update the server list.

If i’m wrong pls correct me

Update: did a fresh reinstall of tf2. still no joy

Try setting all cl_threaded_* and r_threaded_* variables to zero.

(Maybe r_queued_post_processing too)

Try using -autoconfig in your launch properties thing, fixed my rig from crashing constantly.

have the same problem ONLY WHEN I EXEC my Chris fps config.

yeah i have an hd5850. Havet really checked for drivers in a while… hm. Thanks for the idea :)

Hi,

My TF2 has also begun to crash whilst playing.

Any error boxes?

Just to eliminate, are you using a ATI card by chance? I recently updated the drivers on my HD 4870 and this seems to be a possible cause.

Hi my crash did not have any error boxes. Everything simply stopped when i joined a game. Seemed to me originally to be the hud which froze up as well (obviously wasnt). My net_graph froze, and the sound ingame was repeated again and again. Always had to close through task manager.

And yes I am using ATI HD4670 atm.

EDIT: now that my problem is resolved i think i know what the cause was. Recent update news…

Engine
Tuned thread initialization to improve performance on CPUs with more than four cores

I am using an i7 core which may be the cause of this if the update had a few bugs in it
