    Argh. This upgrade... I've not changed any of my system specs since the version before 1.12. My PC could play that version all night without any problems. Then 1.12 came out and basically required me to reboot my machine each time I felt like playing. Apparently if my machine had been running (not even necessarily any memory/cpu intensive applications) for more than 1 hour, I had to reboot before I played. Here comes 1.2. Not only do I have to reboot before I play, but if I play for an extended amount of time on the same server (let's say like 3 rounds), the first and second rounds are quite smooth. By the time I'm playing in the 3rd round, my game starts to stutter... badly. I get "Connection Problems", stutters, missing sounds, and ultimately a crash to desktop. The crash to desktop wouldn't be so bad if it wouldn't knock my desktop resolution to 640x480 @ 8 colors. So I get to reboot again...
    Frustrated...
    You have described EXACTLY my situation as well. However, my computer specs don't even come close to yours...

      Yeah. It's totally maddening. After a few rounds and a swift crash to desktop, I go into the nVidia panel to check the GPU temps, and they're always in the green. So heat really isn't the issue here.

      I'm thinking it has something to do with my dual core CPU. But that wouldn't explain why my machine was running the game smoothly 2 patches ago, though...

          2gb of ram I got 512 I can still play pretty well but it will still quit to desktop after loading about 5 different maps. never used to do that before.
