Radomly Crashing

[ssj4cloud]

Ok right, i have had this problem for a long time and it is making ESF had to enjoy.
I will be playing like normal, ither with bots, or on a server with people and the game just crash's, ending up in me having to reset my PC.
I dont use EVM and i am using all the same sprites and models that game came with. I have checked and updated all of my drivers for everythink on both my PC and my Laptop and even Formatted my PC and reinstalled.
I have installed it over 10 times and this problem still exists.
My Laptop is running a completly different setup to my Pc so it cant be My GFX card as i have bought a new one and i still have the Problem.
Altho when it does crash if i CTRL ALT + DEL and enter the Memory Usage Tab ESF is using around 100.000 .. which is unbelivabe as when i first load it up its at 1.344 ish. I have 3 GB ram aswell so its not like my pc is slow but it still crash's. I just havent got the faintest idea whats going wrong, and was hoping someone else who may have had a simular problem and resolved it can help.
Thanx for reading - So stessed >.<

Do you use steam? And which version of esf are you using? I used to get random crashes in my earlier versions or when I use WON.

Im using Esf 1.2.3 the newest one and i use Steam always have, altho i was speaking to someone earlier in the Newb forums and they suggested that it may be because of the bots. So i went to ESF World and downloaded ESF Bots 4.1,
( http://www.esf-world.de/index.php?c=fileinfo&file_id=21037 )
and so far i have had no crash's and i was playing for just under an hour with 2 bots getting my head smashed in >.< .. but still no crash's.
Now i dont know if the bots was the Cause but i will update in a few hours and let you know.

The bots available on esf-world are outdated .The newest bots come with the latest verison of ESF.

Well if thats the case then i would recommend Using bots V 4.1 as i am not getting any crash issues now, and i was when i used the ones that came with Esf V 1.2.3

Thanks alot, im going to keep playing and if it does crash or if i have problems i will post it here. :yes:

I use steam Veggeto, I USED to play with WON when I didn't have internet. But remember esf is in a beta version so it's bound to crash in some situations.

did you look at your video option to be on open GL ? on D3D or Softer has the tendets to crash

Just another thought, at least it helped for me on my slower pc,

Try changing your decal limit (default 300) to a lower number, this will change the amount of damage overlays, like scorch marks and whatnot from beam blasts and impact damage.
Turning down some of the other "eye-candy" can help too (like beam complexity and high quality models, etc).
Although your system sounds higher end it should not be a problem with 3GB of ram that you have.
Just to note, Half-Life was originally designed to run in a 640x480 or an 800x600 resolution with OpenGL, I have not noticed the difference on any of my systems though.
*Are you overclocking your cpu or your gpu?

I still randomly crash on all 4 computers that I am running ESF on, although some them crash more often than others. But then again like mentioned ealier, it is still a beta.

Sorry, I am rambling, it helps me think. Hope something here helps.
