Buying an afv crashes the game

Buying an afv crashes the game I know others who have had this happen in 1.07

 

Yup, had this happen a few times. Not always though.

 

every time?

 

not every time but it happens enough that I just won't buy an afv.

 

Pretty sure this happened to me too. Almost instant, like *Buy* :: see the top of the vehicle and sort of clipping into the top of VF :: *Crash*

 

Just had this myself. Kinda makes the game unplayable when you can't buy the most basic and argueably the most essential vehicle available

 

Also just crashed out. Guess it's the comms job to build them now.

 

I was wrong it's getting into the afv that crashes it not buying. The problem lies in the new vehicle player placement code. Actually wait that was getting intoa commander bought afv in the vehicle factory. Hmmmm.

 

The problem is due to a new bug Valve introduced into the engine that wasn't present in the regular HL 2 engine. It has to do with drawing the vehicle's top down picture in the lower left corner. I had only fixed the instances that dealt with drawing images on the minimap since those were the most prevalent and obvious. I'll be creating workarounds in the code and soon release a client-side patch.

 

Greetings, first post here, I registered because I love the mod but hate crashing: I don't buy AFVs regularly, but I often get the same crash whenever I enter or buy an APC...Thus getting me into the driver's position.

So, buying an APC or spawning in one can often crash me out (I'd say 33% of the time).

Buying tanks, on the other hand, barely crashes me--I've only crashed once out of buying like 25 tanks in 1.07...

I can't upload a single memory dump because of the attachment file size restriction, let alone the 8 files I zipped into a neat package...

Odd. I've bought literaly about 100 AVFs since 1.07. It has ONLY crashed for me on the map Gauntlet. Of course that map crashes due to many things. Perhaps it's the map just adding to the crash probability.

 

I Crashed in gauntlet too, After buying a AFV.

 

was crossroads that I crashed.

 

I crash when buying a Brenodi AFV or APC in almost any map, I think...

Gauntlet could also be revised in regards to scale and line of sight, because we can see the whole thing at once and quake-based engines weren't designed for outdoors like Delta Force, Serious Sam or Farcry were.

 

I'm not even going to say anything about that, it's like shooting a dead deer.

 

Yeah I just had the APC crash on me as well. Nothing else though, just APC and AFV have crashed for me.

 

I sent him my data and I crash on duststorm when buying an tank

I had a uber base

 

I've also been sending in the crash dumps to Krenzo when this has happened. Hopefully it's something he can fix or work around.

 

change the value in gameinfo from 320 220 seems to stop it for me anyway.

 

Does that make the game run on the older engine? Are there any disadvantages in doing so?
