having a problem when i play World at War multiplayer Vietnam FT server ONLY.
i will play for a bit, and then when a new map loads, it takes forever to load. when it finally loads, it is black, but i can still see the stuff to join a team and i can see other players names and it is very laggy and the mouse cursor takes forever to respond. when i try to close the game, i get this error "DirectX encounted an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions."
i also get the same error if I alt-tab out of the game and then bring the game back up. the screen turns all black and i can only close it with the task manager. alt-tabbing in single player did not cause this problem.
so i ran dxdiag and it says nothing is wrong. i have DirectX 11 with Windows 7. the game is installed through Steam, i did not buy a disc.
my video card driver is up to date, the game has all of its patches, i tried redownloading all the mods and maps (for whatever reason, the error always happens on the map montelimar). i reinstalled the game. doesnt help.
the Reliability Monitor is logging the problems every time, and this is the details it gives, but it means nothing to me:
