Playing strife at random points vavoom crashes with - TSizeBuf::GetSpace: overflow without allowoverflow set I have included the crash.txt and the debug.txt There is no set point at which it crashes?

It seems as if the buffer is being overloaded, you could try to use this parameters when running the game:

-minzone 1024 -maxzone 128000

That will assign more memory for the game and maybe reduce the frequency of the crashes a bit.
