I am just starting to get into competitive TF2 but when I try and connect to pugs to get better, I crash. In servers without the competitive mode (timer, rule set, or scoreboard) I almost never crash. It happens a good 80% of the time. I have tried changing options in my configs (max frames and custom ones for each class), launch options, resolution, and have reinstalled both TF2 and mumble. Any ideas on how to fix this would be great.

pretty sure you have wait commands in your config and they are disabled in most competitive setting which would result in you crashing

No I don't have any wait commands. I just went through and checked. My configs for my classes are just my mouse wheel binds and the viewmodel being on or off with viewmodel fov 90 for all of them.

some custom huds do that, i've had issues with stopwatch mode and crashes in the past.

I don't think its my hud because I use gmang which is what platinum uses but I do have a garmen "+" crosshair added to it. I don't feel like that could be the cause but I'll try and remove that to see if that stops the issue.

backup your tf folder and then delete the nonbackup and see if it makes a difference

If you crash while loading maps its your hud or addons, if you crash ingame its another issue that you could probably fix by verifying game data

it's possible you have a problem with your HUD...are you using a custom hud?

Check if you have the cl_minmode command in your configs... sometimes that would cause problems for me when tournament mode was enabled.

It seems to be working fine now. I switched to a new hud instead of gmang. Verified and defragmented my game. I'm not sure if it actually fixed it but I haven't crashed since I did this. It seems to have worked but if it isn't permanent I'll try some more suggestions but for now it seems to have worked.
Edit: It is definitely not a permanent solution. The crashes came back.

I've tried everything in this thread and it'll work for one match and then not for another day or two. Any other ideas on what could fix this?

Don't necro 2 year old threads lol. I'm pretty sure this was before steampipe, the problem and the fix are likely going to be different.

Are you using P-REC? If yes, which version? Don't use 2.0.6, it's broken, use 2.0.5 instead
