Hello all i just got this game vis steam last night and started playing it today first impressions a lot better than the first but now having issues with it..

the games has now crashed out to desktop twice

the FPS have shot down from 150fps average to 25fps average, this has happened once and i had to restart my computer for it to go back to high fps


a steam friend had same issues with crashin on COD6 is it steam misbehavin?

not using crossfire

whats validating integrity of game cache?

also jsut been cicked out of game again by steam, something to do with connectivitiy and authorising me as a user :S

i have recntly installed kasparsky internet antivirus tools which has blocked an app in a steam directory which it has named as:

"PDM.Keylogger"

apparently its named as Zerogear.exe

what the hell is that :S?
 
just realised zerogear is a steam game but why should it block the EXE and class it as a keylogger thing :S?

Sounds like someone else is logging on to your steam account and that's why you're getting kicked. It also sounds like you've got a keylogger, which is almost certainly why someone else is logging onto your steam account.

Bit late to be installing antivirus - what you can try, and hope for the best, is validate your email address on steam, change your password FROM A DIFFERENT PC, wipe your steam PC and reinstall windows from scratch. And don't click any links claiming to give you free stuff from steam ;)

Edit - also change your email password from a different PC, as that's probably been keylogged too.

Zerogear is a steam game, but unless you've actually installed it, nothing on your system should be called ZeroGear. If you have installed it then the anti-virus is doing what it does best, ****ting bricks over nothing.
 
i have installed zero gear so thats fine

kaspersky antivirus is saying that this game is a key logger... the game is the object which kaspersky is finding "suspecicious" as it names it

i have allways had an antivirus installed its just that my old one expired the otherday so i had to move over to this new one i have

should i ignore this keylogger its mentioning??? is it as Evilsod said, its just ****ting bricks?
 
just found the issue,

apparently its a common problem with kaspersky internet security 2010 that it will list some apps but mostly games as a key logger and they are working on an update for this

so thats fine

but still doesn't explain why left 4 dead 2 crashes out to desktop :( ???
 
Left 4 Dead 2 was well known for crashing to desktop problems particularly when it was first released. MOST of these problems have been fixed, but some still remain. If you have a look at the Steam Forums for L4D2 there are plenty of helpful tips in preventing this.
