Steam Memory Error Issue

[Porschephile]

Wow, you guys are pretty hostile here. I registered as Shadow1198 to respond to some other guy's post regarding a memory error with steam as it helped me and just wanted to say thanks. Two people verbally attack me and a day or 2 later I get banned and the thread deleted?! Geez, game forums are pretty hostile. lol ANYWAYS, since that thread was obviously deleted I felt the "memory" crash some people are experiencing should be pointed out again. This is the error message: The Instruction at 0x####### referenced memory at 0x#######. The memory could not be read

Anyways, it should be noted that if you go to View > Settings > In-Game and un-check the Enable Steam Community In-Game box, that can eliminate the issue for SOME people. I don't know if it will necessarily work for everyone but, it worked for me. Now, please don't ban me again, I'm just trying to help. :cheers:

Well that's a hell of a way to start off a post in a forum that is so "hostile" as you said.

We try to keep the forums here clean from people who have an illegal game. We hate pirates. I've had the pirate gun pointed at me for something as simple as a sound file missing. Yes we can be hostile, but this site, being one of the top HL fan sites, gets a lot of traffic, as you can surely tell by the activity level.

I completely understand. I didn't think that I might have come off as some h@Xor/spammer idiot. I 100% own all my games so no problem there. lol I was just hoping this little tidbit might help someone as I went through the whole Steam troubleshooting procedure and completely overlooked that little checkbox.
