Time to put you pc gaming and hardware beasts to work.
Whenever I create/join a game in CS: Source, I get a CTD after everything has loaded before I would actually enter the game. Then I get the "memory could not be 'read'" error.
I know this is a big problem documented by valve, but mine doesn't exactly fit the description, and I'd rather not wait for the patch to fix a problem that wasn't mine to begin with. Most people are getting their CTD and memory read error a few minutes into gameplay. However, I get mine immediately, right before I actually get into the game.
It seems to freeze during the "initializing renderer" stage as I saw in the console as it was loading. I ran the 'timerefresh' cmd in the menu which is essentially the same as initializing renderer, and I got the same problem! CTD and memory read error!
I got lucky a few times for some reason. It was more random than anything else really. I was able to get into CS:S no problem. I could restart Steam, load games, join/create, etc. But when I restarted my computer, bang, had this warg'ed error.
Any ideas? Think this problem is down to valve's patch or could it be something else? The fact that I was once able to get into the game with no problem makes me think it could be a system thing rather than valve.
It isn't a driver issue. I didn't make any driver changes when I restarted after it was working to see that it wasn't.
I posted at the steam forums to no avail. My thread was put to the side while the whiners and the "terrorist team has to go" threads.
Thanks for the help.
