Please click on "More..." and screenshot the crash message.

When does this crash occur? And check if you have all the latest drivers and Windows updates installed.

I researched a bit about this crash, and mostly the cause was something from Windows. Can you check if you have all the latest updates of Windows installed? And check if you have all your latest driver updates installed and the latest BIOS version.

It will help investigating the cause and solution for the issue if a screenshot of the error can be posted.

What crash error did you received when trying this method?

As you are using WIndows 7. It would be good to know what your overall computer specs are.

Also make sure if you have a extra Anti-Virus software installed, that it is not blocking the game.

Is there an option to provide a crash log when you press on "More..." ?

If its capped at 75FPS you should check if you have V-Sync enabled in your graphic settings. Maybe the update changed some of your graphic settings.

Would love to see following things being done: Improved Ai pathing for all maps. Different difficulties that would affect their reaction speed and gameplay in general. Being able to toggle what guns they will use and what not. These would be some of the things I would love to see being added/changed in the game.

There have been Cheats already in the beta. It is not hard to create for such a old game one. Many known Cheat Developers and other cheating website, will create and sell cheats. And VAC won't do much, as they can easily just create a new Account.

Normally it would appear when clicking on the three dots at the top right corner of your post. But this Forum is still having issues with editing posts, deleting posts, posting links or images results in a 403 Forbidden error. Sadly there are still too many bugs in the Forum making it harder to use. So we probably have to wait for it getting finally fixed. Sometimes I can edit my posts and sometimes not.

What are your computer specs?

Try in 1-2 hours again. And then post the current status again, if it worked or not.

Which server are you trying to join? And how long was it that the maintenance passed?
