Alt-Tab is not popular though.

For the record I still love the mod and the gameplay experience, even with the odd crash very rarely.

I whole heartedly concur. lol

No crashes here except for server crashes and it dosen't happen to often for me to get mad at it.

Well, i can play but out of the last 4 occasions i have tried iv never been able to play it for more than 10mins. Maybe bad timing on my part but i cant see the playerbase growing atall like this, no matter how many more maps we added.

Just be quick on the draw whenever Dice releases the official 1.40 Patch, and then get in line to play on the packed servers.

Seriously though, when you get some down time go through the PC cleaning routine. (maybe even a reinstall of BF2142 and FS...again?) You were on quite often in the past.  I suspect something is up with your system.

Sorry to hear that... Though, it seems like it's on your end, as the rest of us aren't having that many problems with it - seems it's mostly server crashes. Maybe update your video drivers, make sure your settings in your shortcut are compatible with the game, etc...

btw, what about a Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich ticket? They're both serious about the Constitution, and have strong following, despite missing the rockstar status of the front-runners. Could really stand up to the rest, imho...

About Ron Paul. Both him and Kucinich are good friends but I dont think theyd ever run on the same ticket even tho they are both against the Iraq War. Kucinich  ,being a democrat, wants socialized domestic policies. They just dont mix on domestic issues.  I think Kucinich  and Gravel are the only 2 honest democrats tho.

Problem is ,due to the lack of a debugger for bf2142 the likelihood of us ever finding out what is causing the problems is minuscule. Or atleast thats how I understand the situation. Woodrow would know better on this issue.

Its not lookin good im afraid

Actually, it'll crash every once in a while. It happened to me on Friday a couple times. Once on Mos Espa and once on Escape from Hoth. I'm using the latest version of both the FS and 2142 Vanilla (not the Beta patch, though).

As far as crashes not many, about 1 crash per 2 hours of First Strike - and those often appear to be server crashes.

I'm not sure but maybe you guys could find a way to see whats the servers are doing at the time of the crashes... I think that'd be better then us players randomly guessing.

I think CTD's are also related to your settings and PC specs. (at least in Titan Mode which is the only stuff I play on 2142)
