hl2(dm) crashing since the update...

[lifebringer]

A) Since the update, hl2dm has crashed 3 times for no apparent reason...gives me a standard 'the instruction at xxxxxxxxx referenced memory at xxxxxxxxx. the memory could not be 'read' ' .......not ONCE has hl2 EVER crashed in ANY way before the update...

Anyone else getting this crash or other new problems?

The only thing I've changed in the past few weeks has been updating my audio drivers to the latest version, but I sincerely doubt that'd cause what's happening..and I don't think its worth it to uninstall them and try to get it to freeze when i have no idea when/why/how it's crashing in the first place...

B) Also, who knows the reasons for the errors that kick you out of a game when you get disconnected? Sometimes (rarely), I'll get disconnected from a game and the hl2dm steam message will pope up saying something like 'error user process cmd' and something to do with frames...I don't remember exactly what it was...but it only quit out of the current server/game, it didn't close hl2dm at all...

I crashed 3 times last night in a couple of hours,and i got the same error message.Just now tho i was in the middle of a game at lockdown,and with no warning my comp re-started itself.And the lag i was getting was just plain awful.

I know how you feel, deathmatch has crashed on me at least five times since the update. Pretty ironic how bugfixes and updates actually break the game :/

I've only crashed once with that error. Only the second time ever.

I'm sorry to hear that others are having worse problems with it than me.

looks like this update did do something afterall...

what's your guys system specs?

i've got a p4 3.0c, abit ic7 and a radeon 9800aiw...

I'm getting it as well, once it completely took my computer down, and i couldn't do anything. Second time i worked my way out of it by logging off with a black screen trying to remeber where i was on screen without visual aid lol.

I get the same error message. its random and unpredictable.

My specs are 2.66ghz P4, 512 DDR ram, 9600XT 128mb OC'ed. Never crashed before, this update did something to me an all. (glad its not just me!)

I've been getting no errors what-so-ever. Try e-mailing STEAM support, they'll probably have a solution. They might have implemented a new feature in the latest patch that you can turn off, like you could with the stutter fix patch.

thanks, will do.

I also got that message once.

 

[nitromullet]

thanks, will do.

You hear anything from Valve?

 

[daverince]

Yeah, mine's knackered too. Single player is totally screwed, and I can get about three mins on DM.

Not too happy.

um..

I've a thing where hl2dm just chucks me back onto my desktop with no errors. Sometimes it happens after half an hour, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes never at all. But it's always annoying.
Single player and CS:S don't seem to have any problems though.

On a probably unrelated note though, *very* occaissionally (twice since i built it at christmas) my computer either does nothing or beeps urgently when i switch it on; doesn't even respond to the reset button. Just turning it off and on at the plug fixes it but can't help but feel it's the sign of a deeper illness. I've had both ram sticks replaced (2 X 512) for other reasons so if it ain't them im a bit lost...any thoughts?

Specs; Athlon XP 3000+, 1 Gig RAM, Radeon X800 pro

Same here, but mine hasn't worked for ages now. The last update hasn't changed anything, singleplayer and DM both crash with no error after a couple min, if that

 

[clarky003]

try changing your heapsize for deathmatch guys., its the exact same crash out that HL2 has.

 

[holligan]

I have been crashing like a mofo too.

the only way i could fix it was to totally reinstall steam and half-life 2.

 

[fearian]

REINSTALL!! hoo-boy! no way!

mines been crashing like #### too! even when im playing hldm mods instead.

 

[marbles2112]

I've had this happen to much

This memory problem has occured many times since the last update ,and one more thing that just started to happen is that sometimes the options go to default for no reason at all. I thought at first that it was my corsairs ,but memtest ran with no glitches found then i ran into others with the same prob.

i get a really odd sound lagging problem....but i'm going to try messing with it first seeing if i can get it to work
