Is anybody else here experiencing crashes in counterstrike source and day of defeat source? Its getting annoying, i just bought dod source 2 days ago and i can't even enjoy it because after a few mins of playing it would just freeze.
 
I've played CS:S since HL2 came out and I can't remember it ever crashing once. Be sure to check all the normal computer stuff; cooling, power load, drivers etc.
 
There is a huge thread on the Source forum about this problem. It's been happening to me, too, ever since this one update. CS:S or DOD:S will freeze with looping sounds after anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes into the game.

There don't seem to be any universal fixes for it. Some people have claimed that if you have a dual core processor, control-alt-delete during the game and set the HL2.exe affinity to 1 processor. I haven't tried this, so I can say for sure if this works.

hmmm.... I've never heard of that method but i'll try it. how do you "affnitize"? My friend who's got a A64 3700, it happens to him too. We have the same problem, just crashes and sound loop. I was playing CS:S fine before. Damn it Steam

Press control-alt-delete, then go to the Processes tab. Find HL2.exe and right click. Select Set Affinity, and uncheck 1 of the 2 boxes.

I've been todl this works too, but do you have to do it EVERYTIME you play? Cus damn, that is so inconvenient.
 
I've been having this problem too ever since this one update back in September. I have a 3.0E, so it isn't dual-core, but maybe this will work... which would be great...
 
they crash all the time, i dont know anyone that never has a problem at least sometimes. faster computers have less trouble. but since HDR came out its been nothing but trouble for a majority of players.
 
My Source never FROZE, it just ended abruptly, one second mad blasting, the next is me staring at an AIM box....
 
My source games are perfectly stable, although the favorite servers list was broken by the militia update, which also cut my FPS in half across all maps. So I will play Quake 4 until Valve's customers finish beta testing their games.

Damn I am on a Valve bashing RAMPAGE tonight :)!
 
After the last few updates, HL2 single player has been crashing much more often than before. ctrl-alt-tab doesn't work for me and I end up restarting.
