TF2 unknown CRASH - Most apparent on Zombie Infection | mastercomfig | Page 1

After about 10 crashes, there is no clear reason on why TF2 will close; anything could be happening after any amount of time. I have tried clearing out my custom folder as well. No crash dialog appears after the crash either.

This is MOST apparent on Zombie Infection, only taking 10 minutes max to crash.

I will provide the .dmp files generated by steam.

#

what I can interpret is that referenced memory is failing to either be read or something else

#

I also found this: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/6391

particularly the line "According to the poll (1) crashes most often occur on AMD GPUs and and after ~10 mins. (mine 15)." which lines up exactly with my issue

update to this: Disabling MPO (Multiplane Overlay) seems to have fixed the crash? Taken from https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/disabling-mpo-multiplace-overlay-can-improve-some-desktop-apps-flicker-or-stutter-issues.445266/

#

more testing / better investigation needed as this has only made me more confused

#

just got my first crash yesterday

#

turns out this still happens in a very specific way:

#

I have to be playing heavy

#

wtf...

static nexus wtf...

try running through a clean-up of tf2: https://docs.comfig.app/latest/setup/clean_up/

#

when you're done, don't add anything back (either in cfg or custom) and test it out

And don't play heavy

patent sapphire when you're done, don't add anything back (either in `cfg` or `custom`) and test...

finally coming back to this

#

I was busy and this thread got a bit lost but I'll get my results back here in a bit

#

also for reference, these are the exact steps I followed:

blanked out the cloud/cache files for tf2
turned off steam cloud for tf2
reinstalled the game
launched the game with -novid -autoconfig -default +host_writeconfig config.cfg full +mat_savechanges +quit
about to launch tf2 to "test it out" with a fully vanilla /custom/ and /cfg/
also might separately try the vulkan launch option just for experimentation

#

currently my only launch options are -novid -nojoy -nohltv

#

so far,

#

played Murky and Atoll both for ~20 minutes, no crashing

#

also got demos from them for benchmarking

I just realized I left a comment in my config that r_queued_decals 1 can cause a crash, now I'm wondering if that was the problem
