Game keeps crashing on me. Yeah it keeps crashing. I never had the problem with 4.06 but now with 4.07 it crashes or sometimes it just disappears back into steam. I don't know if its the past few days of steam updates or 4.07. I have a ATI 1250 xpress video card ,5600 duo AMD processors, 2 gig mermory 320 gig hd 80% free. I don't know of any other mods conflicting with this mod. I have HL< TFC CS, CSS, DOD,DODS,CZ,CZDS, Red Orchestra,Almost all the regular games plus Brainbread Chemical Existence ,Riot In Progress,Firearms,They Hunger , PVK, The Specialist. Could it be a conflict with one of these.??? Help???!!!!! Cartman was saying something the first time I played the other day but it crashed and I could not rejoin again.

It's probably an fmodex crashing problem, the newer version of fmodex they use in 4.07 is more stable for some and less stable for some, where it was more stable in the previous 4.0 betas. the current version of sc4 is a beta, and the fmodex implementation is still incomplete and a bit unstable.

I NOW HAVE MY VIDEO SET ON SOFTWARE 640X480 16BIT. IT STILL CRASHES WHEN THERE IS A LOT OF SPAMMING OF SOUND GOING ON. YOU HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE QUITE EXCESSIVE WITH IT. IT SEEMS THEY MAKE MY PING JUMP OUT THE ROOF AND IT CRASHES.

Enough with the caps...

For those that have fmodex crashing problem, it is unlikely that you'll be able to get rid of them entirely, you can how ever lower the likelihood of having them. The next version, sc4.1 should run more stable for those that have the fmodex crashing problems. For some, running in d3d mode can help, but the partical effects only work correctly in opengl mode. Software mode has some limits to the max w poly you can have in a map and still have it work, it won't work on some of the more complex maps.

If your wondering what fmodex is, it is the sound engine sc4 uses, pretty much all of the games sounds are played through that. The way they have it implemented in the current version of sc can be pretty buggy for some. It's not used in any other hl mods that I am aware of.

If your getting high ping spikes on the server, try typing rate 30000 in your console to increase your max allowed rate, if your rate is to low you can get very high pings in area of maps with a lot of monsters.

As for the sound spam, if your talking about people playing music or spamming sounds over the mic, you should report that since it's against the rules. There's a thread here with guidelines on reporting bad players to the admins.

That might explain why I don't have a mic or speaker showing in my tab button. It vanished since my last post. No mic!

Damn sorry I should be on more often.
