It displays that top error message first and then the second, but besides those two error windows I can't find any other files TT is dumping out; well, besides the "_asset_errors.txt" file which lists missing files that usually display on the computer so I don't know what it's on.

Deleting Always3.dat greatly stabilizes it (when I was working with Rp2 I noticed that Always2.dat alone makes ren less stable (at least when it is big) so I deleted always3.dat in Renegade, and now I can play whole rounds without crashing every five minutes again).

It'll happen more if you have a mix with modified w3d's in it.

It must have generated a dump in My Documents/Renegade/Client/debug...

Okay, here are the 3 crash dumps that I got before I deleted always3.dat. The crashes always happened within the first 5 minutes of the round, and they happened on a mix that contained modified temps, w3ds, emitters, textures, sounds and sound emitters. The computer was playing client on LAN.

There seems to be a preset with id 1000000085 on the server, but not on the client. That is the cause of the problem for the three dumps. It's a definitions/presets/temps issue; I find it unlikely that it would be related to always2/3.dat or any mix or w3d for that matter.

1000000085 is an exact temp clone of the preset "Daves Arrow" for the solo purpose so that I can make sure custom messages are being sent from the correct message. In addition its 3D model is also changed on create, however, the server and client are both running the same version of the mix and the only difference between the client and the server is the server is running non-dedicated 3.4.4. Beings the client computer is sitting 15 feet away from the host it's not like I wasn't able to make sure it wasn't running the same version or anything like that. In addition, it seems unlikely that it would crash 3 times in a row, each time within the first 5 minutes of the game; then after deleting always3.dat we were able to run several 30+ minute rounds without a crash.

every time i passed a specific place on Islands as GDI (facing the nod ref / base entrance) i would crash
i crashed 4 times in this general area
i clicked to fire a mrls rocket and heard a noise that showed i was clicking on the desktop or a window below ren; ren simply closed and i had to minimize the window, close the error box, and reopen it

only 4 times on one map, it's not so bad Razz

Razz

is there a crash dump or something i can find that might help you figure out why it did this

Go to My Documents -> Renegade -> client -> debug and ZIP and upload the last few crashdump files.

Could you make a screenshot of the location where this happens?

I added your crashes to the TODO, we will need to have the screenshot and crashdumps before we can look at it though. Smile

As we do not have enough information to fix this issue, I have removed it from the 4.0 beta 4 todo list and marked it "NOFEEDBACK".
