Fixing crash
Finally got this game to stop crashing on start up thanks to: TrialMacameau

1: Open Control Panel.
2: Go To Firewall Settings.
3: Click on "Advanced Settings".
4: Click on "Inbound Rules" on the left hand side.
5: Delete Existing Nexuiz Rules from the middle section.
6: Then on the right hand side click on "New Rule..."
7: Go through the Wizard:
A: Program
B: This Program Path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Nexuiz\Bin32)
C: Select "Nexuiz.exe"
D: Block The Connection
E: Make sure ALL 3 are selected
F: Name it "Nexuiz Fix"
8: Now go to the "Outbound Rules" on the left hand side.
9: Click on "New Rule..." once you are in the Outbound Rule Section.
10: Again go through the Wizard exactly like you did before:
A: Program
B: This Program Path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Nexuiz\Bin32)
C: Select "Nexuiz.exe"
D: Block The Connection
E: Make sure ALL 3 are selected
F: Name it "Nexuiz Fix"

Created as a guide to ensure the fix isn't lost.

Firewall options are based on what antivirus software is in use. It was not necessary to detail that

Could be something else causing it to crash after loading maybe, like a anti virus software or some other software.

did according to the instructions, when entering the game does not freeze, but when entering the game with bots, it immediately freezes after loading the match

Actually, I take that back. While the game LAUNCHED fine, when actually playing it would crash within a minute or so. I tried Compatibility Mode, but then the game wouldn't launch at all. Any suggestions?

No problem, hope you enjoy!

This didn't work for me at first, but I noticed that Windows Defender said "Managed by AVG Antivirus". So I went there and blocked Nexuiz in AVG's own firewall, and the game worked like a charm. Thank you for doing your duty to the history of gaming and keeping this game playable.

This was just a guide created from someone who posted the help on a thread, since it's better creating a guide since threads can sometimes be deleted etc.

Actually, you only need to block outbound TCP connections to remote IP address: 52.8.157.90. Also, I'm pretty sure you don't need to block all ports, just 8080, but I haven't tested that.

Sure, blocking Nexuiz.exe from everything works too, but then you won't be able to play LAN games.
