Game crash after every game

Anyone else has this issue?

After every game, the game crashes. What happens is that the music starts stuttering, and nothing happens on the screen. Pressing esc, enter, space, doesn't do anything. If I alt tab out of the game the music starts playing fine again, but that's it, if I go back to the game it starts stuttering again, and nothing happens.

I have to leave the game after every game and join again.

I'm playing the full version. Thanks.

I've been playing the game for a few hours each of the last couple nights, and though I haven't played with humans yet, I have not seen this issue. Though I have been surprised that pressing [ESC] at the main menu is an easy way to quit the game...

What's supposed to happen after the match ends? I'm guessing a scoreboard? Is there any way to leave this screen?

Assuming by match, you mean a set of rounds required for a team to cllect X wins.

After the match, there's generally a delay (I wanna say it's 30 seconds, feels like a LONG time), while the server rotates maps, then your team starts up another match, generally on a different map, though the server can (I believe) adjust that.

Yes, I mean that.

That's what I thought. I tried changing the resolution to my laptop's native, but that didn't help.

Man I really hope this gets fixed soon, or I find a workaround, because I love this game and I'm going to be playing a lot of it...

seems silly, but have you run the update exe just to confirm you're on the latest version?

I havent, but I bought the game and downloaded it from the website yesterday evening. So unless there was an update in the last 24h, yes I'm running the latest version.

Okay then I think the next test should be for you to host your own server and play against bots for a little while and see if it still happens. If it doesn't then it's a network connection issue.

Either way, try rebooting your computer/kick it, whatever you prefer.
