1.Have you tried a reinstall?

2.Maybe your PC can't handle it's own server? Maybe over-clock a bit.

If none of these work you'll have to wait for someone like Grega (great help) to help you out.

(All damage done to your PC I am not responcible for :) )

Over clocking your PC is a big no no. It'll do more bad things then good if you don't know what you are doing. And Grega aint the only person who can help around here. For a starter, are you using Steam? You need Steam in order to Play Earth Special Forces correctly and legally. And what video mode are you using? (In the Video Mode menu located in the options menu). If it is Software, change it to OpenGL. Software mode is really unstable, so it's highly recommended to use either direct3D or OpenGL. Even though Direct3D is also sometimes unstable, so the best video mode to use is OpenGL.

Secondly, make sure your video drivers are up-to-date. If you have a Nvidia video card, then download the Nvidia drivers at Nvidia.com (look in the top, click on Download drivers in the top, then download drivers again and fill in the info).

If you have a ATI video card, go to the ATI.com website. Click on "Drivers & Software", select the Operation System you are using and select the video card you are using.

Also, make sure to check out the following sticky threads:

-Frequently Asked Questions
-Newbies Guide to the ESF Forums

I hope this helps you out :)

Yeah, what he said, hope that works! ^^

Oh and usually or mostly this problem is caused by using software mode, are you TOTALLY sure it doesn't crash when you join another server? Try turning turbo on and using a spirit bomb, if you stay in the game, then it won't be the software mode.

Also sometimes bots crash the game. Mostly when directly hit with a big beam ^^

Hope some of their advice works (because mine won't).

But is anything installed EVM, BTL etc.
