serious problem concerning esf's playablility-cant play due to crashes on explosions!

#1

thats right

whenever theres an explosion esf freezes
and then the last 2 seconds of sound goes through a loop
lasts bout 5-4 times
then esf crash

explosion => as in beams hit anything, ki blobs

if in a server ppl only meeleeing thats fine
I wont crash
but I cant controll all the players in all the servers telling them to play by my buggy esf's rules so I wont crash
therefore I ask for a resolution thank you

#2
also another issue totally differently then the one above: the lightnings in goku's ssj trans wont appear
I tried opengl but it used to crash esf as well
so I updated my driver at ati, now it wont crash when using opengl at all
but it crash when using any 3D thingy (D3D or opengl) when an explosion occures
btw b4 I updated my driver esf would crash all the time from randomness
and always when i used opengl
so I used software mode
after updating and using opengl I see no difference, esf doesnt look more "eyecandish" heh...

Please post you system specs. This will give us an idea as to what may be wrong.

How about you post what version of ESF you're playing, and whether or not you're using Steam ?

SAPPHIRE RADEON 9250 128M
I have 20 gigs free

Well i can tell you taht lightning sprites and impact decals arnt visable in D3D mode. But i never heard of ESF doing that (not since 1.2.1)

If it was me id reinstall ESF or STEAM (evrything from Half Life to ESF) and than reinstall it.

But thats me. I hope you get if fixed.

That crashing problem always used to happen with me when I had b1.2 and less, but I used WON then, is it also like after you play for 30 minutes or so? I remember that error good, but rather redownload beta 1.2.3 or reinstall, maybe the d****** is corrupt or you accidently changed some files.

argh I dont like reinstalling though I try to sometimes

all my esf is very costumized for me, and backing up then bringing again after reinstall
when maybe the buggish stuff are in the packs I dled and made...
is pretty stupid and useless of me to do : (

hurummz..

no I have most up to date of everything, not using won
and the old bug (I had it years ago) of after X time esf crashes is no longer, no its not that


btw guys
SOMETIMES when I lunch esf into a server, if I swoop first or be the one that does the explotions
ONLY SOMETIMES it wont crash and will work just fine till I shut down esf and re-run it

but most times it just gets buggish in the way that crashes when booms

so its wierd that sometimes it will work fine till I shut it down, and sometimes it will crash instantly on explotion :?

I hate random bugs -_-'
