ET crashes whenever i host a game. I only have a 56k connection, so i cant play online, so i play with bots using AI Mod. the problem isnt with AI Mod, because i used to try to host games before, so i could familiarise myself with the maps and the same thing would happen. the game will freeze, and after a few seconds a windows error message comes up, the one about sending an error report to microsoft. ive triend reinstalling ET and installing patches, but i dont know what to do, im not hosting as a dedicated server as i only have the one comp. if anyone can help it would be good, cause i love ET.

The ‘host server’ UI will crash if you have more than 64 campaigns. Try deleting some campaign pk3s or running a dedicated server and connecting to localhost. Alternately, you can start a map directly from the console instead of using the UI–go to the console (press `) and type ‘\map oasis’ or something to that effect.

The problem CAN still be within the mod. If you can host games fine without using the mod then its wierd its doing it when you ARE using the mod. Try the Bobots or is this the same thing but a different name?
If it is the same do as Rain said and do /map <mapname> and then addbots using the Bobots option in ESC Menu.

i dont want to use bobots, cause i prefer campaign cause of getting xp, and bobots only has the oasis map. i cant run a dedicated server, cause i only have the one comp, and when it loads at the very start, it says it is connecting to localhost. i dont have too many campaigns, only three
