Spring Freezes/Crashes in Multiplayer, Lobby Close+Settings

Operating system: Windows 7
Service Packs/version: Service Pack 1
Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1 GB
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR-1600 (I think.)

Infolog.

I think I set this up right.

Tested with BA 7.62 and Tech Annihilation 2.16.2.

Anyway, ever since Spring 0.85 (portable install), SpringLobby would randomly crash (it would send a debug log) for me on exiting or accessing Spring Settings. This only happened rarely, so I never bothered to check on the problem until I updated to Spring 0.87 (also portable install). Previous to Spring 87, everything more or less worked.

Now, it always crashes on attempting to access Spring Settings and whenever I close it. It also freezes upon loading a multiplayer game. It actually gets into the game, loads everything, counts down, and then nothing happens. The mouse still moves, but nothing else does, and Task manager says it's not responding.

This also happened in Singleplayer, until I switched to a not-portable install. It now works for singleplayer.

I've updated and rolled back my drivers, but that did absolutely nothing. I'd try the command line thing, but I'm not sure how to do that.

SpringSettings related errros from within SpringLobby should be fixed in SpringLobby 0.144

[ContiX]

It keeps telling me to update to .144, but it never actually does update when I click yes...

[ContiX]

Infolog again.

I let the game sit for about 10 minutes, and it actually loaded, although it had a bunch of errors in the console. The infolog is basically one long list of repeating errors...

Any suggestions? I'm drawing a total loss here...

Oh, and the lobby actually updated itself for once. I don't know why it pretended to until now.

[ContiX]

No suggestions? No replies at all? The same thing is happening to me in 88...

hm, many problems in one thread...

did you try the nvidia-related hints?

[ContiX]

Yep. Just updated drivers again, too. Still nothing. I've got no idea why it's giving such a huge list of errors.

EDIT: Progressive Annihilation 1.5 actually loads, but there's nothing ingame. No bot, no commander, no nothing.

does safemode work?

thats "Test Spring (safemode)" in the start menu.

[ContiX]

That's...where? I don't have it hard-installed, just a portable install.

[abma]

then start with "spring.exe --safemode"

[ContiX]

Ah. I tried that before, must have missed the second - in --safemode.

That...just causes Spring to say that my computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. Which it say on occasion, but I just restart Spring/Springlobby, and it generally doesn't say it anymore. Except in this case.

EDIT: Got Spring to load, but it did the same thing - completely froze on load.
