this sounds like one for tech support.

fs_lazy_precache "1"

use that command when you start up ns, then join a server

I had exactly the same problem. NS freezed on every mapchange. I figured out that my problem is somehow related to my soundcards. Actually I've got two soundcards: one internal Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and one external Creative Sound Blaster Extigy connected via USB. NS freezes if I'm using the external soundcard, but it works without any problems, if I'm using the internal one.

Best regards

OMG :O !!! THANKS stabilo <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> !!!!

I had the SAME problem as his for a LONG TIME!!

And figured out that it was just because of the 'audio reproduction default devide'

I changed it and everything went back to normal <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

i have totalrecorder installed too and used the dmx driver
now i changed to totalrecorder driver and its working <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />
i only changed to dmx cause i had sound probs with one video file and havent changed back (if totalrecorder is installed use its driver or delete TRec)

yep <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> , Total Recorder is not the solution (to those who doesn´t have it, that is)
if you wanna keep it, you´re forced to select it to playback through
