Crashing when loading into a server

In the beta I wasn't having any problems with crashing.

Now that the release is out I crash during the loading screen when I get to the precache part right after the shader compiling segment.

I tried verifying cache and it said it was fine. Still crashing

Then I tried uninstalling the game and doing a clean reinstall. Still crashing in the same way.

So yeah I haven't been able to play a single game since the release, what do?

I assume this will be patched soon but is there a immediate solution anyone?

    if 32 bit os is a "shame" how do you explain the fact that NS2 is a 32 bit app and runs as such? is NS2 also a "shame"?

    Delete the files suggested BEFORE verifying the cache (it will redownload the working files, instead of old corrupted files)

    I keep tinkering around, but I do notice, everytime I crash, the game is using 1.7 gigs of memory, seems quite high to me, is that normal?

    pir4nha, you should try unsubscribing from all your mods from the Steam Workshop and deleting %APPDATA%\Natural Selection 2\Workshop

    Is this after or before loading a map? NS2 is using 2GB for me after loading a map.
