TF2 crashing when joining the custom maps server

[J4CK8]

I was playing on your custom maps server yesterday perfectly well, then this morning I tried to connect, and tf2 had to be terminated...OK, I thought, TF2 crashing isn't unusual for me. So I tried to connect again, same thing. So I asked my friend Beanz to see if he could join...and he seems to be banned for some reason (Only played on the server once)

I just tried connecting again, thinking it may have been the map causing the crash earlier, but the same thing is happening still. I've connected to other servers today fine without a crash, so either something’s happened overnight or both ctf_bomb_factory and cp_corporation are crashing my game (Highly unlikely)

Help appreciated, thanks

Seems odd. Anyone else having problems?

It's still happening. I can get to the main screen, usualy where the MoTD shows up, but instead it crashes there. Maybe it's the MoTD? Has that changed recently?

MoTD is not only the same on all our servers but that particular one hasn't changed since I created it in January.

That's that thought out the window then :/

I get random crashes like that all the time, but it never happens consistently. Perhaps what does crash it just never went away for you, did you try restarting Steam or your computer? Always seemed to help for me. And if not, there's always the easy way out by checking your game files or even reinstalling.

It's only on the cC server, I've managed to connect to others. I've had my computer off overnight, so restarting won't help. It must be something with the server and my PC.

could it be maps themselves? have you tried deleting the offending maps? or the entire contents of the map dir?

Haven't tried connectign this weekend (Becuase of members only) But the chances of having 2 maps that crash my game being the 2 maps there when I connect is unlikely. I'll try again when I see a map I know I can play on.

im just thinking that possibly you have a map or maps with the same name, but different contents in the bzipped file. this would be due to the author updating the map, but not changing the actual name. ive had this happen a couple of times myself in TF2, as well as other games that use downloadable content.

Well, I'll try but I'd never played those two maps before, and the error there is usualy "your map differs from server"

And if I had the same named map but diferent contents, it wouldn't usualy let me get to the MoTD screen.

EDIT

Well, I disabled the MoTD HTML thingy that Valve put in, and managed to connect to Courtyard. Will test other maps later
