I am getting a "crash-to-desktop"



Explanation:
I have not followed the test patches really, but the 3 I have are U11, U17 and U20. All have this ctd. I am running Windows Media Center 2005 rollup 2 with all update and patches

The steps I take that produces this CTD are:
Load up LFS
Go to mutiplayer
Does not matter weather the windows option in the mutiplayer menu is yes or no
click display list of games
wait for the servers to finish loading or even stopping it still produces this
click back
and click back again
and bang I have a CTD, happens often but not all the time.

No my computer is not overclocked nor in a SLI format

Computer Specs:
Windows XP Home / Windows Media Center 05 / Windows Vista Beta 2 64-bit

If you need a video of it, I can supply one.

P.S, That image was taken before it some how sorted itself for a while. The address is the same as that but instead of 9d at the end of the address, its now 83.

-Bump-

It's still happerning even with U23 if anyone cares?

Are you using some extremely large custom menu background, or a certain jpg that is not ok?
I remember this weird bug that a few racers had on my website, which was caused by IE6 destroying the cache files when using a gif created by Picture Publisher 8...

I tried your description a couple of times now, and can't reproduce that...
Are you clicking very fast or is there anything else that could matter?

I am using the fernbay planet as a background by DoN or whoever.

I can click fast, slow, normal speed, slightly quicker then normal speed and the same thing happens.

Edit: Tryed with a windows background and with another custom background and it still crashes.

I'm having the same problem.

Just installed U23 and crashes everytime when connecting to a server.
The screen goes black but I can hear whats going on.

Only task manager lets me shut down LFS.
The daft thing is that when I restart LFS, it connects to the same server with no problems!!

I have the server browser in Window mode whilst connecting.

EDIT

Just forced LFS NOT to go into windowed mode whilst connecting to a server and all seems OK.

I would like to be happy that someone else has the same problem as me

But I cannot

1. Because you have sorted the issue you are having
2. Your problem is diffrent to my problem.

Am I the only one with this problem? Could it be Windows Media Center thats doing it?

Found the issue:

When Live For Speed closes the connection when its searched for the list of rooms, my Firewall does not like it and crashes the game for me. So i'll put this one down to a firewall issue rather then a LFS bug.
