It happens whether there is a video mode restart or not...I know what you are describing, but it is a crash that happens.

is there any errors showing in the console log ? assuming you have logging set up, there should be a file residing in q4base that may offer some help

I checked the q4 base, and didnt see anything. How do you set things up to show an error log? Sounds like this might help

Dump these into your config, and start a server.. see if you can generate the error. seta g_log "1" //enables game logging seta logFile "2" // 1=buffer log 2=flush after each print seta logFileName "qconsole.log" // name of logfile

Strange thing, I have joined this same server before without crashing. Is there custom content causing the conflict? {non precached} I had to contol/alt/del to end this

Make sure you've got 'proper' custom PK4 files in q4base when join INet erver; remove anything that's not supposed to be here, the game crashes out if it finds anything that shouldn't be there (development folders, files and scripts etc)

I found nothing suspect in the q4 base, however the errors seem to point to something...... my primitive brain cant quite grasp. I,ll keep trying anyone have router trouble with the game, which may prevent the map from loading? -cool, Ive risen to the ranks of gib lol

If you start your own server (multiplayer, create server) and vote in a new map, do you still crash? You haven't expanded (unzipped) the stock pk4s or modified them in any way, right?

Everything is fine if I start my own lan/int server, including voting / switching maps. I never modified any pk4 files. I just reinstalled and downloaded full patch from a different source. Can anyone recommend a "pure" server? - no unwanted downloads thanks

Ok guys the problem is solved. There is a conflict with my dual core proc and multiplayer.....dont ask me why its not a problem with singleplayer / different game I guess. I set the processor affinity by unchecking the 0 processor while q4 is running. Thanks for the input
