MP lobby crashes

hi all,

I haven't done much searching, but am wondering -- I join multiplayer on Gamespy, can be in the lobby for about 2 minutes, and then the game crashes to desktop. If I keep clicking around (i.e. try setting up a hosted game) it doesn't crash until I sit idle waiting for someone to join my game.

This, of course, puts a bit of a damper on MP play. Single-player game I've never had a problem.

If I don't get answers back here I'll go check tech support at the .com, just thought I'd pose the question here to start.

Hello Tamur,

The gamespy foyer and the game are two different things. You are crashing out of the gamespy lobby if I understand what you say.

I feel the built in foyer to be more convenient (faster joining of games). Not that using it guarantees no CTD, many users have that at times, but certainly worth to use that interface instead. You can use it by starting the game and then choosing multiplayer.

Have you patched the game? If not you should really do, the latest version is what (about) everyone uses.
