Are you using OpenGL as your video mode? Check in CONFIGURATION.

make sure that your graphic drivers are all up to date and if that don't work i strongly recommend to unistall beta 1.1 and 1.0 and reinstall beta 1.0 then test then install beta 1.1 :)

This happens to me all the time anyway, but only for ESF. Also, since 1.1 I can only join....about 2 out of 100 servers.

Many times, Software Rendering can't handle all the explosions/sprite movements in the games... and they often crash and return to desktop or hang.

That's why I asked to confirm whether he's using opengl. And yes, uninstalling esf completely and installing 1.1 full install would be a good try.

This has happened to me on quite a few occaisions. I am definately using OpenGL, with the latest detonator drivers for my GF4MX.
I reasently applied the "increase fps" patch that grOOvy suggested and havent had the problem since. However, it could just be a coinsidence - try it out for yourself and see how it goes.

It can also be ram . . . low ram can, high AGP Aperture, and high heapsize can be a volatile mixture.
