S!

Regarding the cache files should I delete all, including the shaders file? Thanks,

Someone said one should leave the "shaders" folder there but delete the content in it. I've never done that (deleted all the files including the sub folder "shaders"), and I've never had any problems. It gets recreated and filled anyway...

On interesting thing I found right now cleaning the folder in preparation for todays possible patch release was that there was a bmp-file in my "cache" forlder called "picture.bmp" at a whopping 50mb. It contained a crappy Spitfire skin with some naked chick...

IF that has been downloaded while joining a multiplayer session it sure would botch that server. There where a lot of other user made skins in .jpg format at about 2.5Mb in the folder but that feels OK.

Anyone knows why a bmp file would end up there?

That would explain the occasional freeze up that occurs during MP when a new player spawns. Also the recent two crash to black screen I've recently experienced during MP.
