Whenever I play open beta, in the middle of a game, it crashes. No errors come up, it just freezes and repeats the same noise like it is lagging for a second or two, then it crashes to desktop. I have legal copies of everything,and the latest version of open beta, and ESF 1.2.3 works fine. Someone plzzz help me. It is very annoying when i am in the middle of a game and it closes randomly

TG DarkMaverick, would be great if you could use the
button to edit your own posts, there is no need for Double Posts. Besides that point, at the moment the Public Open Beta version has some crashing bugs which has mostly been fixed on the new version. So, you'll have to wait until it gets released :).

I am pretty sure it was the ki blast thing. After further play I realized that whenever i use a lot of ki blast it would lag and crash.

You've noticed there is a newer Open Beta release now right?
One of the things it fixes is that bug... I haven't had a problem with ki blasts since updating. :)

Nor had I. The changelog also mentioned something about a KI (blop) crash bug being fixed ^_^.

Hmm, you're right. I went back onto the previous release and I realise now that I was actually making ki-blobs.
I thought it was just crashing when I flew around shooting ki blasts anywhere...
I must have made blobs too, just not seen them, because it doesn't seem to crash otherwise. :/

I just downloaded the new released version and I'm still getting unexplained crashes, i have a feeling they're related to the bots somehow, but I can't pinpoint the problem. The game with bots crashes very quickly (usually within about 3 or 4 minutes, sometimes almost immediately). I've also had it crash without any bots in the game, not entirely sure whats up with that.

I wasn't using superbots (I tried to actually, but the only way I could get ANY bots to join the server was to use the bot menu to add default bots (the menu that doesn't have a default key) The more advanced bot functions won't work at all.

I didn't paste on top of the ESF folder I put the zip files inthe halflife directory in their own open beta folder.

It often crashes while i'm powering up, using turbo (especially if I use "overdrive" turbo ... holding it in for a power surge), or charging a beam. The sound goes into a repeat cycle for 2 or 3 repeats and the game program dies without error messages. THe more bots are present, the more likely the bug will appear. It is not accurately reproducible either, so I suspect some variables are involved in creating the bug that the user doesn't have direct control over.

No, I have several layers of protection and none of them detected anything.

Who are you referring to with the pronoun "him"?

The more I play the beta the more I think the bots are triggering this bug for me, when I don't activate bots I rarely have crashing bugs (but I have nobody to play with to test anything either).

List of Actions I've taken immediately previous to a crash:
powering up
using turbo's hold function to temporarily superboost PL
charging up an attack
attempting to enter a struggle (via beam or blocking), especially if the beam is a generic beam in orbit around me.

These actions do not consistently result in crashes, so I think its a case where simultaneously some other event is occurring and triggering the glitch. They have triggered crashes more than once, however, which is why I think they're related to it somehow. They only seem to cause problems when bots are battling away in the background.

And people keep referring to the superbots, but I think they were disabled, I can't get any superbots to join the server,.

It might be the bots trying to do advanced melee. Missing animations cause that to crash. Does disabling melee on bots help?
