Dumped to desktop at end of a game round

03-15-2010, 07:35 AM

Every so often, after a game round ends, my game closes completely and dumps me back to the destop.

There's no warning, no slowdown, no issues whatsoever during the game. It just every so often, at the end of a round, the game closes and I'm staring at the Steam UI on the desktop.

It's nothing game-breaking, because my stats are kept when I reboot the game. But it's kinda annoying.

Anyone else have this issue occasionally?

Is it a bug? Is it the server shutting down?

What is it?

If the server shut down that wouldn't effect your game, just the match you was playing, must be annoying. All I could advise is to check your events manager to see if the games closing its self, I'm not really a P.c boff, no doubt some one will be able to help more.

I can't figure it out.

Doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while.

Sucks because I would be on a server with a bunch of awesome players and then suddenly at the end of a round, it goes POOF.

Like once a match ends and it shows the ending cut-scene for a win or a loss, the game disappears and I'm on the desktop.

There's no sudden shutdown warning or errors or anything.

I always recommend posting your full system specs firstly, to make sure we have an idea what you running w/ the game.

Now, have you tried to update all your drivers ie mobo, sound & gfx?

Have you manually updated PB?
