failed to lock index buffer....bug !!!

[$teff]

this is the new bug I have since yesterday.
I want to load the game and I get: "failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer"... (engine error)
then a new message with the "memory cannot be read error...."
I have no clue what that means. Before the game was running fine. Now, I get stuttering sound and game crash all the time...What's the point with HL² ?????

Try setting -autoconfigure in the launch options.

Try closing steam and delete clientregistery.blob and then starting steam backup.

Save the savegames folder to another location and delete the hl2 folder and let there be another 1 created from the GCF's

Soluced

well, as I previously said.... it's always a problem with the video drivers........
I had all the problem described here before
sound stuttering, pc crash, game crash, etc....
I have a ATI 9600 video card. When I installed the catalyst driver 4.11 it worked fine, but day after....sound stuttering, and yesterday the memory read error. I tried before the tip with the save folder but didn't do it...
So I UNINSTALLED all the Video drivers.... and reinstalled the basic ones (latest) for the video card. (didn't instal catalyst...) and the game runs fine again.....
The question is........til when ??????hahahaha
:cheese: :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:
I this can help other, try it

I have the same problem with my game and i have the same card, Ati Radeon 9600xt 128mb, I tryed reinstalling the drivers and it didnt do anything. CAL being around the corner and all... I really need to get this fixed. Im guessing that the DX in CMeshDX8 might have something to do with Directx in my case, I dunno If you guys have any ideas please hit me up on xfire: solsoulfly, or Aim: FlawInGodsDesign. thank.

Is the game updating?
Left-click Steam tray icon
Select "Games"
Select "My Games" tab

Is the status of Half-Life 2 100%?

If yes, right-click on "Counter-Strike : Source" (or "Half-Life 2" but there ain't no CAL for that I think )
Select "Properties"
Select "Updates" tab

Is it set to "Always keep this game up to date"?

Also, try verifying:
Half-Life 2 : steam://validate/220
Counter-Strike : Source : steam://validate/240
