The new experimental build (08-11-15) crashes at random times while using -newui
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While I have -newui active the game plays for a while, then randomly crashes. The game freezes indefinitely while doing anything, and the only way to stop it is to do control+alt+delete, which then returning to the Windows desktop the game has already closed (no error message). It has happened repeatedly at random times. I have fixed this by removing the -newui launch and just playing with the old ui.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Start game using -newui launch
  2. Join any server.
  3. Play the game.
  4. After a random amount of time, but usually no more then 30 minutes, the game will freeze. Ambient noises from the game are heard, but everything is frozen (except the mouse cursor).
  5. Clear freeze by pressing ctrl+alt+del.
  6. Return to Windows desktop to find Steam open but the game no longer running.
Additional Information

Its random, but no more then after 30 minutes of play time.
The game freezes, but you can always hear the ambient sounds of the game, and the mouse cursor moves, but sometimes its a normal cursor, or a waiting cursor.
