Fuck source games.

Seriously, fuck them in the ass. Half-Life 2, ep 1 and 2, and portal crash on me ALL THE FUCKING TIME, TOTALLY RANDOMLY. It doesn't make a difference if I'm running all max settings or all low. Sometimes its a slight hiccup, like the annoying repeating sound thing, screen freezes, I have to wait 2 minutes, then it continues. Sometimes it just dies and closes out on me. Just a bit ago it fucking MEGA froze, had to restart comp. This does not happen when I play TF2 however. Any solutions? The sound thing I know is a common problem, but it's SO annoying when it lasts more than 15 seconds.

Sorry to hear this.

Have you tried different DirectX levels, like 8? That might help. Do it by going to properties for the game in the Steam list, then launch options, then -dxlevel 81.

[jngrow]

I'll try it, will it reduce the quality at all?

[Terin]

Yes. Mostly in shader stuff, which is noticeable in Orange Box Games (not so much HL2 and Episode One).

Um yeah probably... if you're going to a lower directx level...

Edit: Fuck Terin...
