Have searched the forums a bit, but can't find an answer for a technical fault I have.

After every map change the game is crashing. It loads all the stuff and connects, but when it gets to the main server page (birthdays/donations/welcome page) the game hangs for a few seconds and then crashes to desktop.

Not certain that it is just HH server, but when they were down the other week I played a couple of games on another server (UKCS server) and the map changes were fine without crashing.

Some specs:
Win7 (64-bit)
Q6600
HD5770 1GB

Thanks for help, and let me know if more info needed.

Try to check Disable HTML MOTD's in advanced multiplayer options.

UKCS servers have a HTML MOTD, so I'm not sure that this is the cause.

Yeah, but maybe your MOTD has some element which causes his crash. It was just a random thought.

The MOTD is displayed using the IE engine, I would really be very very surprised if this was in anyway related to the MOTD.



Try closing your eyes, counting to ten and then sticking out your tongue... this sometimes works.

Shall try the random thought Nemko , although Sir Frog is rarely wrong.

The fault now seems unreliable after having done it at every change for the last couple of weeks, the map change between badlands and swift went fine a little while ago.

Or if you choose not to download any custom files? It might help also because H|H uses custom decals on the walls.

I think the first port of call is to verify the integrity of your game cache.

Odd problem, was on HH2 and it successfully changed maps twice, but then crashed between sawmill and steel (with HTML MOTD disabled ).

Also just verified the game cache. Shall test/play again tomorrow.

Thanks for the help (so far).

I am also getting dc'd between some map changes. Seems very random.
