Crashful Update Help

by Mike808 » Sun Apr 24, 2011 7:55 pm

im on a mac btw
so starting from the Hatless update my game has been crashing every 30 minutes on average.
crashing is annoying but the thing that worries me is sometimes while in game my screen just starts flickering. Then the computer itself crashes,
my computer has never ever crashed for the 4 years that i had it until this update happened.
the crash happened twice so far.
When I got kicked from casual...
Broseph Stalin : why the fuck would you kick him
Rehvii : why did u kick him?
Rehvii : dumbasses
Rehvii : now we are going to get fucked
Broseph Stalin : he was literally the best engie I've seen in a valve server ever

I was completely unable to play until this Thursday, and now I'm having the exact same problem, but instead of a crash, it's a full lockup. I had to use manual override just to be able to use my computer again.

I was having a lot of problems. I took my computer apart. When I assembed it after cleaning, noticed my bios clock was off. Now i'm fine. Take your pick what was causing it.

Last night I crashed again. This time it was at the start of a round and I had a kritz medic on me. Waiting for the count down, 3, 2, 1...BAM, crash.

I went in and updated my video drivers, I'll see how that works next time I get a chance to play.

ok i got a soultion
if you're using garm3n hud, stop.
put dis in your launch options
-gl_enable_scaled_resolve +mat_queue_mode 0
download a fps config; i personally recommend using chris' max frames, and put this in your auto exec
cl_focrepreload 0
While it sacrifies around 10 fps; it stops the crashing
or the other solution
use bootcamp
