Hi, when i join the server my tf2 randomly crashes. I keep trying but it still fails ;_; any ideas/helps/suggestions?

Yep maybe beofre i said it was fixed but now it crashes again ;_; i don't know but when i wasn't crashing the ad looked like a youtube video and when it was going to load it had that buffer of youtube, but when i crash it's the normal buffer so.. ANY IDEAS

I get this quite often, I think it has something to do with the MOTD because I always crash there about 8/10 times.
The other 2/10 times I get lucky and get into the game.

hmm yeah, since yesterday my HL2.exe crashes when the ad timer is running.

Yep we crash in the same time. Yesterday at night it didn't crash (YAY!) but the rest of the day yes. Today it's crashing in the ad zone too. Darn you Pinion pot of gold!

There seems to be an issue with the latest build of Flash released by Adobe in the last couple of days. It only seems to affecting a minority, but if your computer is crashing every time you join the server, then please do the following:

1. Go to this http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/ ... layer.html page, scroll down and make a note of the version.

2. If that version is 11.5.502.149, then this is the likely cause. Load TF2, connect to our FF2 server and confirm that TF2 crashes.

3. Downgrade your flash player by downloading and installing the last version from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flas ... rchive.zip or from http://www.thehh.co.uk/flashplayer11_5r502_146_win.exe .

4. Go back to the http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/ ... layer.html page, scroll down check that the version number is now 11.5.502.146.

5. Restart TF2 and join our FF2 server, and hopefully your client won't crash.

I have the version 11.5.31.139 and crashes. Going to try it (i'll edit this post if it works or doesn't work)

EDIT: Not crashing anymore (3/3/13)

I tried that solution, but it doesn't seem to have worked. I still seem to crash a lot on the MOTD.

I'd like you to check that the .146 version of Flash installed on your PC correctly. Did you go to the version checking page after installation and saw that it reported .146? (Step 4)

Oh yeah sorry. It still says ver : 11.5.31.139

Ok, I'm going to suggest an alternative approach for you.

I'm going to assume that you are using a 32bit or 64bit version of Windows 7.

If you are using 32bit, then go to
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash

If you are using 64bit, then go to
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

Inside that folder you'll find a file called something like FlashUtil32_11_5_502_XXX_Plugin.exe, run it and it will give you the option to remove Flash player from your computer. There should only be one file like it.

Download http://www.thehh.co.uk/flashplayer11_5r502_146_win.exe or alternatively download it from Adobe http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flas ... rchive.zip and then run flashplayer11_5r502_146_win.exe.

At the end of the installation, select the 'Notify me to install updates', rather than the automatic update option.
