Crash when I die as medic I think

Recently I rewrote my mastercomfig so that it was cleaner to read and edit (for me at least), and now occasionally my game crashes when I die as medic (I can't find any other cause and it takes about 10-30 minutes of gameplay to crash, but as far as I know this is the only consistency between crashes). This never happened to me before, and is unrelated to my medic config (I still crashed without a medic.cfg existing), and comfig.cfg is the only thing I changed. I moved ragdoll settings to a separate config file so I can make a clean toggling system but I don't see why that would make me crash. While I was refactoring I changed a few sound options to try and make spatialisation work for me more (and obviously I'm smart and forgot what I changed (and too lazy to compare line by line for now (also want to know what crashes my game and why for future reference))), and there are no comments about crashes next to any of those, so I'd like some help diagnosing pls. (also if someone says just use new mastercomfig, no, I'll add changes to mine if necessary and revert to old config if I have to, I'd MUCH rather keep my configs how they are for now (also fuck vpks I want to edit my cfg and don't care about load times))
link to rewritten mastercomfig
In case they matter:
cpu Pentium G3240
gpu MSI N460GTX
link to my mastercomfig before rewrite

UPDATE it doesn't only happen when I die: my game started stuttering really bad for seemingly no reason (also completely new, but I think it did this once before I rewrote mastercomig; didn't crash back then though) and then stopped for a couple seconds then I turned around and went to heal a guy and as soon as my beam connected I crashed.

UPDATE2 I normally play skial turbine so I went on other server operators and maps and it looks like being med on turbine makes me crash; med on skial 2fort won't but med on any turbine will make me crash in under 30min

game does not like toggling anything live, just leave your settings alone ingame

it could also have something to do with your 10 yr old hardware

imagine pugging with a bug like this and getting forced onto med

"ah, i dropped. oops, my game crashed. my game wont reopen, i dont know what the problem is. oh well, find a medic sub for me."

easy med dodge

I can help you switch to new mastercomfig with everything you need but please let me know what features you want because as far as I'm aware you can edit configs in the new version too :)

just add me on steam!

Thanks for the offer but I simply don't want to deal with new things if I can avoid it, and until now I've had no issues; I gotta go bed but I'll try just using the old comfig tomorrow and see if that fixes my problems. If that doesn't work I'll add you and see what can be done.

>class specific
>not my config
guys its my hud :(
The first time I noticed a crash was either yesterday or 2 days ago, and that was the first time since the dead guy update that I played medic a. on turbine and b. long enough to trigger the crash. My friend had a bug since jungle released that sometimes when a heavy spun up on his screen he would crash, which in casual games usually meant within 10 minutes (especially seeing as he was yeti heavy a lot before he realised heavy made him crash) and when he first installed mastercomfig it suddenly worked. I guess I have a similar situation where an update happened and something unrelated broke and now I just crash occasionally. My current plan is to grab some hud somewhere and rice it a lil, like said friend did ages ago and gave me but I can't use that now. Thanks for the help everyone :)

afaik there is/was some thread(ed) or queue convar that makes your game unstable after random amounts of time.
