For some godforsaken reason, when I am about to connect to a TF2 server on Windows the game crashes, but only sometimes. To my knowledge, it isn’t consistent and happens when connecting to either a casual/official server or community server. The game also crashes without any warning/pop up indicating that something isn’t working. It simply kicks the bucket and sends me back to the desktop.

For the record I’ve never had this happen on Linux, with the exact same configuration/custom files
