TF2 freezes computer

01d55 · 12-22-2009, 09:31 AM

It only happens when TF2 is running but I haven't identified what exactly is happening or about to happen when the freeze occurs. It's a pretty hardcore lockup - absolutely no input, mouse or keyboard, will alter the frozen image or generate sound. This includes ctrl-alt-del. I have to kill the power in order to reboot.

It doesn't happen with any other Source games?

I dunno if I can suffer through enough pug L4D2 to know for sure but let me get back to you on that.

No HL:2 and any of its episodes or Portal to test? Just L4D? For shame.

My windows partition is only 52GB, I can't just leave games I'm basically done with installed. I've been meaning to resize but I'm in a place where that would require reformatting all the partitions.

I played me about a campaign and a half of L4D2, no crash.

I had only one crash with TF2 yesterday where everything was frozen except that I could still look around with my mouse. I also was able to just ctrl+alt+del out of the game rather than hard boot it. Then, I was also able to get back and played for another two hours without freezing, so yeah, just throwing that out there. Has this been happening consistently with TF2 or just a few times this past week or what?

It's consistent in that if I play TF2 long enough, it's going to happen, but not as to how long or what exactly is happening when it freezes (at least as far as I can tell).

How much GB space do you have? Perhaps it may be something to do with the partition?

is it when you load maps? in the middle of gameplay? or When you first enter.
because I had the first two My firewall was being a jackass and basicly made my computer crash every other map. and when the War update was passed I couldn't get on without game mode because of the 2 links to their website.

So far it's always frozen during gameplay.
I've noticed that the sound will stutter just before everything falls into unmoving silence.
