Sometime when I throw away my weapon the game freezes, is there anyway to fix this?
I dont want to restart my comp everytime it happens.

If i'm not mistaken, 227 fixed this issue?

No, I'm using the 227e version now but it still keeps freezing for me.

Well report it as a 227e bug, It needs to be fixed and I don't know of any way to bypass it, it seemed to go away for me after I got a new video card.

It comes and goes from time to time here.
Sometimes I can play for a qouple of hours without any problems and sometime I cant play at all.

The problem with this is, we never managed to intentionally CAUSE the crash. I remember myself and Smirftsch running around like mad maggots on his server on a debug to try and crash it... of course, it wouldn't ever happen then, but the moment I divert to the occasional game on the net, BANG!

Smirftsch's server has anticrash protection? xD

=) just get some guys on a INF server who are known to crash a lot, I think it's more common in INF games since more things are being rendered in the midst of your throw. I usually can intentionally gpf myself with INF guns better than regular too, so if you want get me in a debug server and summon me some INF guns :P

I crash often with the ICD and unexisting objects (Garbage collector anyone?)

LOL I crashed several times even on normal coop game without a mod and I just used Task Manager "on blind" to close Unreal.exe. Only I crashed twice in a row in Serpentine then I needed to restart my comp. Else, I just use Task Manager to close the game.

On blind lol. Another reason why you shouldnt use fullscreen.

And all those unhandled infinite recursions are annoying.

LOL reminds me of a program that I made in VB... Just uses 100% CPU and blocks your PC. (Sorry, I know it's off-topic.

And that program is called "Unreal"?

No. I didn't call it anyhow. XD

Join a non-fixed server (or fixed to confirm if no crash/hang) and set a key bind like the following below.
set input throwweapon|throwweapon|throwweapon

Summon every weapon and collect them. Run forward while pressing that new keybind rapidly and there should be a runaway loop crash or hang within a few seconds of testing.

My guess how this could still happen in 227e is the inventory loop in UnrealHUD.DrawArmor() allows 1000 passes before stopping. In UnrealHUD.DrawInventory() it's more reasonable at 250. Why that inconsistency came about I cannot answer. Besides, if the INFIL_HUD is still in use it will not inherit any changes that can prevent a crash/hang.

Anyway, the fix in 227e is likely working, but if the client has this runaway for more than several ticks there may be looping of 1250 times per postrender tick which is possibly 106,250 times per second at 85FPS. Reducing both inventory loops allowance to 250-500 will cut that number in half or more and may prove better.

Try 249. In Unreal a loop with 250 iteration seems to be Runaway already.

You're mixing a runaway loop with a function call recursion. The problem that could happen here is not a recursion.

A runaway loop will be detected by the engine at ~10,000,000 and a function call recursion at ~250. The actual detection points of both will realistically seem shorter depending on what patch and how much the engine was handling at that time.

Oops xD
Whatever...
