I'm getting the same type of problem too after upgrading to 1.08. I'm not sure if its the patch or just my hardware, instead of just straight crashing before I crash I usually get these weird graphical spikes, basically they come from this object and looking at that object causes these "spikes" to take up your screen, I've had these happen with things from a hmmv, to another guy, to the mp5 in my hand, which rendered first person mode impossible. After that goes around for a few minute than it crashes. Never experienced any of this before in the previous patches
