Ok, this only works for CTD when you press the join button or press escape for joining a game
Problem: You click join or you press escape to join a map and the game crashes to desktop. If this happens to you every 3 out of 4 times, I have the temporary solution. No need to throw your computer out the window anymore!
solution:
1. Click the desired server
2. wait for everything to load and data to be verified.
3. You see the join button, DON'T PRESS IT YET
now here comes the trick:
4. Click the auto-ready button! If you hear a sound (like a little click or something), It is safe to join and the game will not crash.
If you don't hear anything, wait a second and click again. repeat this for every second till you hear it. Then press the join button and be happy, no CTD and go kick some ass.
This works, I haven't had a crash in 1.5 weeks anymore! (instead of 5/6 join-crashes after patch 1.3)
Usually it takes up to 10-15 seconds before you hear some click (had 30 seconds once), but I tell you, I prefer to click 15 seconds on some idiot button and be able to join, than guessing it will not crash and watch the screen go black and see your desktop again.
And the good thing: IT WILL MAKE SOUND after a while! So you will be able to join every server from now on!
Funny how this little useless button became so important to me!
I know this is not the best way, and it's only a temporary solution (at least that's what I hope) but at least now some of you can play again without trying to join for 45 minutes.
And besides, all informatici use little tricks like this to solve all problems *G*
Optimalisation: you only have to press the box once, and wait for the sound to arrive, then it's safe to join, so no need to click it every second.
I got some positive reactions on this already and I helped a few, so I'm a happy man. This is what I wrote it for!
Well now I am on it anyway, this thread solved my own: connection lost problems.

Now if only the punkbuster problems and server crashes could be solved, this game would run smooth (again)
I hope this helped! If you have questions or remarks, shoot them!
P.S. I heard people got a crash when they click the auto-ready button immediatly after it appears, wait one second and then press it once and wait for the click-sound. Then you can safely join. Good luck!
