Stalker Serious Roleplay - Pripyat Redux map crash to desktop

[Avain]

Whenever I load into the SRP server, it crashes to desktop, no errors or messages, just a c2d. I've tried everything from verifying integrity, to multiple PC voodoo tricks like resubbing, deleting the workshop files, deleting the addons folder and then verifying, etc. No dice, sadly.

I've noticed that I only crash on "Downloading material/gui/ad2logo.tga", and on further inspection the crash logs repeat the following message about fifty or so times before the log devolves into unicode/wingdings type lettering that is impossible to read.

4040(15.896493):  KeyValues Error: LoadFromBuffer: missing { in file scripts/voicecommands.txt

I've checked GarrysMod\sourceengine\scripts, the only scripts folder in my directory, and voice commands.txt seems to be missing. Previous to these KeyValues errors, I got this specific string that includes something about ad2logo.tga.bz2

I can provide the entire log on request. Thank you in advance.

its starting to get frustrating

Have you turned your textures to medium before connecting?

Have you turned your textures to medium before connecting?

in all technicality, all the settings are at their lowest

e: it didnt help eitherway

 

[Jake]

having all settings turned up highest worked for me

that actually worked, and what im more surprised about is that the map works well on a 10 year old computer

settings are jumped to the highest and im getting constant 60fps

 

[Decaro]

>settings on low
>rock solid 28 silky smooth fps punctuated by strange delays where the game might or might not ctd
>settings on ultra
>60 fps, no stutter

Changing my multiplayer setting to 'do not allow custom sounds' worked for me, in tandem with turning all settings to max.

Yeah this map should have been tested by others first before switching, lots of people are getting left out and it's a major bummer since people won't be able to take part in stuff.

Here are some suggestions

Shaders off low, any where else above should be okay
Max settings, heard this fixed it for a lot of people.
Heard stuff about people starting the map in single player or just starting single player and then joining.
Reinstalling the map.
and in any case if all else fails I just suggest a reinstall of Garry's Mod. I have no other idea if nothing else works, good luck.

 

[It's lighted brothers]

Reinstalling and joining from singleplayer didn't work for me. When I get home I'll try the max settings and tweaking my settings as you guys have said, but reinstalling seems to be nothing but a waste of time. You wait for it to be reinstalled and still nothin'. Try to tweak the settings first, and if that doesn't work, then maybe try to reinstall. Not the other way around like my dumb ass did.

Running steam in admin mode has fixed it for some.

 

[Scouser]

when u geezers say settings to max do you mean literally everything? pretty sure 8x anti aliasing is going to ron johnson my computer

Textures, shaders, models and particles

 

[Avain]

here's an odd tidbit of information, when i asked a friend to give me the 'missing files' from the crash logs, he couldn't find them

but yeah you guys should try maxing settings and editing your multiplayer settings.

I can't believe that actually worked. Thanks dudes
