    Greetings!
    For a few weeks now, I have been having constant crashes in KAG2D, and I couldn't nail the issue.
    - Used to work fine, then the game started to crash constantly all of a sudden, between 2 patches
    - The game doesn't crash in any of the single player modes
    - The game crashes on our own server, on public servers, and on premium servers
    - The crash may occur 1 second into the game, or a few minutes into it, but I couldn't play for more than 2-3 minutes at a time
    - Reinstalling the game didn't fix it
    - Crashes when playing on the break at the office, never crashes from home; doesn't crash for any of my colleagues
    - Joining a zombie game, quitting, and joining a server doesn't prevent crashes
    - I don't get any crash report popup, and the game doesn't go "not responding" - it simply closes outright

    Can you run KAG from the command line for us?
    Run these commands:


    Start > Run > cmd (or on vista/win7 hit the start button and type "cmd.exe" into the box)

    cd c:\KAG <enter>
    KAG <enter>

    then repeat the behavior. There should be a message in this window when the game closes/crashes, please copy that text or a screenshot of the window and post it here.

    I'll send this thread over to the devs to see if they have any input on it - it is bizarre that the game exits/crashes with literally zero output.

    You have a different computer at home?
    You can play zombies normally in singleplayer?
    Crashes on every other server independent of gamemode?

    Good news, yesterday's patch fixed everything! Thanks for the support :)

    In case you are still investigating - I use a different computer at home, I could play zombies normally in single player and it crashed on every other server no matter the game mode.
