Weapons fire crash.

[laser]

When either me or my opponents fire certain weapons, it crashes.

Running Windows 7 64 bit. Redistributable is installed, video and audio drivers are up-to-date, dxdiag/log/dump linked below:

I believe this is caused by the DX11 impact effects not being compatible with below-DX11 graphics cards. Disabling impact effects (or even showflag.decals 0) appears to fix the issue.

Pardon my noobishness, but how do I do this?

I had a similar issue. Once the game starts you would hit ~ to bring up the console and type showflag.decals 0 . I found it got rid of the crash after firing but it kills the graphics as to make it unplayable. Hoping someone has an alternative fix.

I had the same problem. With showflag.decals 0 it works fine.

Open ingame console "`" (tilde) and type showflag.decals 0, then press enter

Indeed. Turns out that command fixes the guns, but also turns off ALL of the lighting, so you're wandering around in almost complete darkness.

Same here with GTX 285. "showflag.decals 0" thing works but it also makes the game pretty much unplayable.

Which weapons are you using that causes the crash? Does the crash occur when you fire these weapons for the first time?

[Frigidus]

For me they are:
Enforcer - both
Rocket launcer - both
Flack - second fire only
Sniper - primary will crash but zoom does not
Shock rifle - primary fire only

Yep, first time. Seems like it crashes when there's impact. (for example if you aim at the sky with Flack and shoot it only crashes when ammo is hitting the floor.)

You may not be aware, that many of us use the UTDarkest theme, and the color code you used for your highlighted text blends in with the background. If I may suggest, please use a color other than gray for highlighting text. This will make it easier for everyone to see the text. Thanks!

The nature of the bug makes it time consuming to test, so I hope Frigidus' post (#11) will suffice...

...but I can confirm that, yes, first shot crashes.

Looks like this was fixed today by Mysterial:

Disable DBuffer decals on DX10 as they currently crash the engine

The next build should hopefully be ok for you guys
