Crash At loading screen

[Herald Enjoyer]

My game crashes while loading any map. It do half of loading then it closes automatically with out any error. How to fix it?

[Zoey]

Id recommend unsubscribing from every mod from the workshop, and if it then works resubscribe one at a time and see which one gives the error


If it isn't to do with any mod you have, then the only suggestion I can make is redownload the game entirely

[Herald Enjoyer]

that would be really tough i cant download it again :/

Same here. Need help fixing this also. Some things I tried that did not work are...unsubcribing, verify integrity, ran as administrator, delete local content and reinstalled LFD2. Re-installed video drivers. Thanks.

I've got the same symptoms.

The minidump shows it happening in server.dll, but with no symbols, not much I can investigate there. Also seeing other odd items in the console on game start (bolded):

Same issues as well..even on fresh re-install of windows and steam I get these errors..all my drivers were properly installed first..I even have to validate files after hosting my own lan to friends only and no one will have joined but still somehow files get corrupted. Happened on both hard drives I installed it to...it's driving me nuts because the only MOD i ever had was the "tanks playground" ages back and I deleted before my fresh install of windows and unsubscribed. Other than that I have my server.cfg set for sv_pure 2, sv_cheats 0...so I don't know how I'm missing any files...and my hard drives are fine..I've ran diagnostics look at them..no burned out sectors....I got tired of trying to figure it out...and only 5 days of playing the game...and I had to re-validate 22 files this last time and I even encrypted my DL folder so nothing could be placed in there and even removed access from ALL people including my self cause I don't want any mods...I want vanilla..yet still my files get corrupted.

right click on your game / select properties / local files / Verify integrity of game cache.

Then select properties again and select "Set launch option". Add "-lv -novid" and try again.
