If your game crashes when choosing or picking up one of the new weapons, you need to delete any pk3s that alter the weapon properties, such as:
Real Damage
No M203 nades
Ringo Dingo
TacOps
N00bkiller
sanitization (sic)
man down
etc.

If you know of any more, please post them here. Also, if one of the ones I posted is harmless, feel free to smack me upside the head.

thanks fragger, ill pin it.

No, thank you.

Fresh install.  No extra files.  Game constantly crashes.

Same here man. Please read my post in Apolox's thread about the release of the v1.02 patch. This keeps happening to me. I dont want to yell but Im so mad and frustrated. Help

Do you have a firewall running in the background? Where exactly does it "crash"?

I play behind a router.  But I have always done that.  No other person in the family plays this game.  I have deleted the game again.  And this time I deleted all the folders.  I will probably try it again tomorrow... by then maybe someone will have an answer.  The game never.... ever crashed before this patch.  I am using the same drivers etc.

One point... when it crashes, it comes back to the desktop and keeps the same resolution I use in the game and not my normal desktop resolution.  It still does not make sense sense the game played perfectly before the patch.

Oh well, maybe back to Day of Defeat.  Or something else.  Nothing good lasts forever.  As I said many times... I got my money's worth.

See you all later......

Well I have a problem when playing the game with a firewall. I suggest turning it off if you are playing with one. I never had to do this on 1.01 or 1.00, but hey.

I had a similar problem with the game freezing in 1.01. Every time I exited and quickly reclicked the MP icon my screen went black and I had a white error message. When I restarted my computer or somehow got out of the situation my screen resolution was always the same as the game's. However noone responded to my post questioning the problem, so it still remains a mystery to me.

Maybe you should try playing without a router. May be too much of a hassel. And then again I play behind a router. That's not a problem I have.

Try closing all background programs.

Try editing a update~1.pk3 to update 1.01. (These may not be the correct extensions but they are hidden in the general discussion forums somewhere)

Try downloading the patch from another mirror. Maybe yours is faulty. You never know.

Try running wiser.

Hope you find something that helps. I don't think my problems have any relevance to your problem though.

Keep trying! I think the saying went, "Look at the cup half full and not as half empty."

mine crashed on last patch and now this one.  but this time i crashed twice and just said h3ll with it on the 2nd one and deleted all and now works fine just like be4.  i had to do the same thing be4 and it ran fine afterword.  yeah, i had some mandown installed, but really don't need that anymore anyway seeing how the patch does pretty much what i need it to.
