For some reason, my client is prone to crashing whenever an explosion occurs in my character's vicinity (C4, vehicle death, etc). Any idea what might cause that?

Shot in the dark, but maybe your computer isn't handling heavy particle effects very well? Have you tried turning down/off particle effects with the configuration utility?

Sounds to me as if you're FPS is crashing, causing you to disconnect.

Try playing on a lower performance.

Well this topic is still going on. I have to say I haven't watched much Anime recently (maybe a year or so) the last thing I saw was GITS (for the third time)

Im not too sure whether I just dont enjoy Anime anymore or whether its just I dont have time really to shit and watch it.

I'm running with lowest settings except textures and geometry, which are at highest. This is how I played on my older PC, and I never had this problem...

Thanks for the suggestions, though, I appreciate it.

Have you checked for dust bunnies in the GPU's heatsink and/or fan? I had a crashy renegade (reborn infantry beta actually) when it overheated a couple years back.

This one that's crashing a lot is a laptop with a fan in the back, which looks cleared of any obstruction.

There was a smoke FPS reducer, try that and see if it helps.

Does your screen freeze or does the client crash to desktop? In first case: overheating, in 2nd case: post the crashdumps.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Client crash.
I might have to wait on that a bit, I haven't played Ren in a couple weeks and I won't be sure that the crashdump is about the error in the first place... I'll clear it before I play next and if I crash again, I'll post.
