sellers do u use -heapsize in launch options? if not then give it a go, it stopped all my weird crashes.

Lol i never get any of these problems hehe

[GinGerBreadMan:P]

dammit i donno whats the problem

Still doin it after both instilling and updating HL2 and CSS

need help

[Viz0r]

have you tried looking through the steam forums?

[Snowman]

As Gear Change says, try increasing the heapsize to at least half your memory. It's a startup option for the game which you set from within Steam.

ginger you tried dicking about with gfx drivers.
for what ever reason im stuck on the 77.77 drivers as every time i update them i can only get about 20 mins of cs before it locks up the whole machine and i got to hit the reset switch.
just a thought.

[GinGerBreadMan:P]

well i'm fooked lol

Have restill Value about 3 time now, and checked all my graphics drivers.

I tryed my drivers on 83.90 and the game crashed out saying something about £direct not working right so i put the new drivers on.

Now i keep freezing lol

I tryed drivers lower but it came up wiv cannot support driver.

i tryed updating sound, BIOS and anything i can think off, can't even play starship troopers wivout crahing even. And it's the same crash

so anyone got any more ideas cause i'm out of them lol

Plz anyone who can give me any ideas plz help, missing singing on the sever

[Viz0r]

i think you might have to bite the bullet and reformat.

[GinGerBreadMan:P]

sadly done that also

[Viz0r]

And it still dosn't work?! have you tried that heapsize option? i don't suppose it could be a hardware fault? try running some stress tests, like the 3dmark program or something, it should be able to narrow down which part is stuggling.

[GinGerBreadMan:P]

YYYYYAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!

I fixed it at last lol.

I downloading the wrong BIOS update
But got the new 1 and now i can play
And sing also wiv Katie
