Installed steam, css and source SDK today(after a loooong wait lol). The main reason was to use hammer to do some architectural design ideas for my graphics coursework at school.. how ever i get this error when i try to run the video stress test, or even create a server with no bots....

'Counter-Strike HL2.exe error- application error'
'The instruction at "0x0f933e2c" referenced memory as "0x0d77a10a". The meomory could not be "read". Click okay to terminate the program.

And i end up back at my desktop, lol, can load the game fine, just cant really go anywhere from the main menu. Im aware this is a common problem but cant remeber how to solve it, I had this a year or 2 ago when i first played css.

Sure someone can help me please :)

thanks in advance guys

Benny.

Been getting exactly the same thing on my system ever since they did the **** update. The game is 100% stable but it crashes everytime I try to create a server or run the stress test.

Not overclocked, no system changes , 100% stable until valve did the update :mad:
 
kin ell! lol, bit of a pain really, i assume their working to fix this and theres no way to roll back to a previous update?

also when using SDK- Hammer, i cant see a thing in the camera box on the design view, another fault from valve, or just me being plain stupid? lol
 
I've been getting the same error when I try either the stress test, the audio speaker test, or create a server with or without bots. Again not overclocked and game is 100% stable otherwise.
 
I had exactly the same problem. Turned out to be my ram. I was using tried and tested BH5, passed all mem tests and never had any problems with any other program/game. This went on for about 2 months. I tried absolutely everything, and then finally I tried swapping the ram out.. Try some different ram with no overclock.

Same here, exactly what i'm getting! It's ****ing me off because I want to test the maps I create!

I've:

Checked the game cache files.
Re downloaded steam and the games onto a different HDD.
Checked that all my hardware is working on their checker program.

Nouts worked!

Going to try moving my RAM around when I get back, but I blame the update.
 
Right, i've changed around my memory these ways:

1st. Mem stick 1 by itself (didn't work).
2nd. Mem stick 2 by itself (didn't work).
3rd. Both mem sticks in bays 3 and 4, then started up steam in offline mode - worked. However, it doesn't work when online!
 
ive tried that too and its made no difference at all! lol cant even run *** video stress test, which is all i really want to do, and make some maps, still cant see anything on the camera view on hammer tho....

Had that prob myself. Try using one of the other views for the camera, it worked for me.

Did you have you pc connected to the internet when you tried to the stress test? I had to physically unplug it, not just run it in offline mode.
 
nice one $loth, disconnecting from the net allowed me to run my maps ive made and run the stress test with an average of 198 fps :D marvelous, whilst connected to the net i get that error tho, very wierd, lol
