Crashes after splash screen
Edit options.cfg[citation needed]
|
- If using a GTX 570 graphics card, you may have to lower your clock speed to 720-760 MHz.[citation needed]
- Go to
<path-to-game> .
- Edit
options.cfg .
- Remove the # character preceding the following lines.
#-motionblurscale:0.0
#-d3d9
#-noptt
Notes
- This turns off motion blur, uses DirectX 9, and turns off push-to-talk. The most likely culprit is the motion blur, so you might only have to change that.

Other crashes/instability
Possible solutions[3]
|
- Switch to Direct3D 9 mode with the
-d3d9 parameter.
