Corby Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 This is a temporary fix that has worked for me so far, as it is a very annoying bug crash. It's basically gave me roughly 3-5 hours of constant play time without a crash, it won't completely erase the crash, but it will slow it down. So it's only really a temporary fix and you have to do it every single time you start up garrys mod. Start Gmodalt+tab out of it CTRL ALT DEL to open task managerright click hl2.exeset priority to highthis allows a larger memory usage for it. This is only a temp fix that I discovered yesterday, Im sure someone has already found this also though. Quote
Clavus Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I don't think setting the task priority will help you at all. It's just a common Source engine crash, and occurs more often in GMod than other Source games. Quote
Corby Posted July 21, 2009 Author Posted July 21, 2009 I normally crash every hour to hour and a half. Played constantly since yesterday without a crash once. Quote
Darkstar Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 i dont get it because my computer is good but only time hl2.exe does crash with me, is when i click exit on the main menu, screen goes black, and "hl2.exe has stopped responding" popup appears Quote

Corby Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Btw, this method doesn't work at all lol, however, running garrys mod in windowed mode does fix it strangely, Quote
Hundred2 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Well actually. i had vista when it came out. it sucked balls before SP1 came. and when it came out ,i still didnt have a reason to use it.So i read somewere that vista solves the problem. and i started using my vista.And waddaya know? it stopped crashing.

Lol. I'm using 7 too now, and if I can buy it cheap via school, I'll probably buy it.What I find stupid, why can't you use one key for 32-b and 64-bit versions. Quote
