Open JK Startup Crash

[Szico VII]

So, for no reason, open JK has suddenly decided, almost randomly, to stop working, and crashes on startup. The only think I did was play a game of normal JK, then went back to open OpenJK and it crashed on me on the splash screen.

 

I have restarted pc, deleted entire JA directory, reinstalled baseja and openjk recent build from fresh (tried 3 most recent builds) and every time it crashes on the start screen.

Ideas? @@eezstreet @@Raz0r

tried deleting stuff from homepath? (My Documents/My Games/OpenJK)

[Szico VII]

I hadnt actually - that fixed it. What could have been going on to cause that? I didnt take any screenshots or change any settings...just exited and loaded baseja, tried to reload open jk...

 

Many thanks however!

Just happened to me a week ago It means your config file got too big (should be error message for that )

[Szico VII]

How does that happen?

How does that happen?

Too many archived cvars.

[Szico VII]

Seems like itd happen a lot then....given Ive only been using it for one day

[Raz0r]

If there were too many cvars, I'm sure it would have been an ingame error and your settings reverted.

It was likely something else in that folder causing issues (outdated DLLs, invalid cvar setting)

Config size should not be an issue anymore, the 3 configs attempted to execute on startup used to share a single much smaller buffer.  Now they can all be ~128K each.
