How many people are crashing with the ESEA client?

I get an error saying that the client stopped working whenever I join a MATCH server, which immediately kicks me after a few seconds saying that I do not have the client running. I thought I fixed it by reverting all settings to default, since I joined the PUG servers and didn't get kicked after over 10 minutes of idling, and joined multiple times + relaunched the client. My teammate told me to try rejoin our match server, and it crashed again.

I already submitted a ticket, and I've been hearing this has been happening to a few others as well?

It happened to our pocket yesterday, and now it's happening to me today. I've heard of two other instances where people from other teams are experiencing this as well.

I'm running Windows 7 on a freshly built PC, and have the client installed to my secondary harddrive, since I didn't want it on my SSD. bsc managed to fix his by reformatting, but I'm not willing to do that just to play with a client that is supposed to work.

Figured I'd ask here who else is actually having a similar problem :S

I've tried: deleting clientregistry.blob/restarting steam/restarting my PC/reinstalling client and have ran out of ideas while waiting for the staff to respond.

My entire tf2 crashes when I join any esea server from the client and have talked with tri for several hours to try and fix it and I have submitted 2 tickets. I don't know what to do either, I have a newly built pc as well with windows 7 and I have tried with the client on my ssd and on my harddrive and no matter what it still has not worked. I think it has to do with that everytime I join a server it restarts tf2 completely even if I am already in the game. If anyone has some suggestions for me that would be nice too.

I missed my match tonight as well and team used a backup who just played sniper and really want to make our saturday night match so please help!

Things I have tried:
Checked steamid
reinstalled tf2 twice
reinstalled and installed the client several times
removed prec and all things out of my custom hud except my hud
Tried without my hud
Removed avast
Stopped uac
checked all the paths to steam files and all
And some other things

I had to miss my match tonight and my team had to play 5v6 with a backup(thank you hooli). I have the same issue as you fox.

I also had to miss my loser's bracket playoff match last season because of this issue.

This is getting really annoying

From killing's promotion thread

There's a new client team that I feel I can actually rely on. There hasn't been a single issue since the first week of matches. If people start submitting their client logs when they have issues, they CAN FIX IT. I swear, seen it with my own eyes.

when you think we are going to see it with our own eyes?

Try removing p-rec from your custom folder if you have it installed.

I wish I could check my client logs, it says it needs to be enabled on my account by submitting a ticket, lol.

RuwinTry removing p-rec from your custom folder if you have it installed.

I've done that, it's not that kind of problem. It's like I can connect and then the client says it stopped working, which kicks me from the server (due to the client not running anymore).

You can just do plugin_pause_all to have all plugins (P-REC) unload. I think the ESEA client does this for you now but I just type it in manually before I play matches.

Same thing happened to Blackdott. He validated his game and reinstalled client but still crashed seconds after joining.

I can't even do that because when I join a server it completely restarts tf2 even if I am already in tf2. It makes me close tf2 and then it opens it so ya. I have removed prec and all.

Play esea they said, it would be fun they said, save the game they said.

I have spent about 4-5 hours talking with tri and submitting tickets and trying things and nothing has worked and I missed my first match tonight and a member of the client team just added me so if he doesn't fix anything then I am just quitting.

A teammate had this issue as well. Apparently his fix was NOT having Mumble 1.2.4; he has Windows 8 and has to use a different version of Mumble.

Hopefully this issue gets fixed soon.

Remove all the shit from your TF2 that is custom except for your huds. I've never had an issue with the client and I think it's because i'm not trying to "mod" my TF2 in every single way imaginable. That and get a good registry cleaner.

Yes run ctap scripts, run spy medic scripts to find out the enemy uber %, run special in game crosshair changers, custom sound, custom textures, a program that will auto record a demo for you, change your models, perhaps even a program to play the game for you, then try to run the client and get mad at why your shit doesn't work.

Running default HUD caused this to happen too, lol.
I don't have any funny scripts running either.

blinKget a good registry cleaner.

don't ever do this, using registry cleaners often fuck your shit up. the only time you need to "clean" your registry is when you're having a problem, you then manually edit the registry to fix only the entries that need fixing.

sorry i mean
close steam > click server in esea client > steam opens > tf2 opens

not sure if it makes a difference whether you open steam before or after clicking on the server, that's just how i did it

This workaround seemed to have worked for me, but I haven't tested this in a match yet. If anyone who has the same problem has a match tomorrow, please post results if you try the esea launching the steam client method! I'll post my results whenever my next match is.

EDIT: Like I said, my earlier resetting to default thing seemed to be a fix for PUG servers, but as soon as I tried joining an ESEA match server, it crashed the client.

2 people on my team had this problem and one fixed it simply by re-entering the server over and over (over 20 times) until it finally let him stay and the other had to submit a support ticket.

I'm back home for break for only a week and ended up taking 2 nights away from friends/family only to end up not playing due to client issues. Because I can't afford to take any more days off this week, my teammates have to pay the 60 dollar fee for a backup to play the rescheduled matches. It's disappointing all-around, the client should not be this much of an issue after 15 seasons.
