This problem fixed by installing Vista.


















Good night folks.

Eh, I figured as much. Hopefully I can get a taste in the next couple of minutes before I go to bed :bonce:

 

[Yogibbear]

Gonna try some other beta drivers for my 8800GTX, maybe that helps...

[Bakurei]

Grashes after the valve video. NICE BETA!

I have the same problem. When I use "-console" option I have the music of the title screen but nothing else appears.

(I have a 8800 ultra and Vista 64-bit)

Firewalls. Turn them off.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

I don't have a single firewall on it..

Thanks. I'm in Welly btw.

Let me know how you find it, I need my vicarious thrills.

 

[Yellonet]

[-Psy-]

Mine went from 94% to 93%.

TIME PARADOX!!!!

 

[Bakurei]

Yea just keeps crashing. Valve should take an example from infinity wards. Those guys know how to do betas :/

Quick fix taken from steampowered.com forums:

Resolution:
Add "-window" to your launch options. If you go full screen, your pointer will be off by about a half inch.



I get a crash with vguimatsurface.dll in full screen...

This is going to sound redundant, but it is a beta.

Well, at least I get the startup screen now but can't do anything.
When I click inside the game window, my system chokes and eventually I get the "Display driver stopped responding" thing.

Guess it's a driver issue. I'll report back when I tested some other drivers (but first I need to get some work done here)...
