I keep crashing a lot on the HH servers since the update just over a week ago.

I first figured it was the same crash as a lot of other people got after the update, but now I'm not so sure, since I can play fine on other servers. And I've heard that those crashes was dx8 related or fixed by now.

Anyone else having issues? Anyone have any ideas?

yep, my game crashes after every round while playing on HH servers(#2 at least). I'm fine on THG though.

Do you have any custom HUD's or other mods jolle? I suspect it may have something do with that since sv_pure is different between HH and other server I play on.

Hm.. I do have a mod for the hit numbers. But that should be all.

Edit: And mgemod.

Update: Tried without the hit numbers mod. Survived a round end, then crashed at the second. Thinking maybe trying to wipe all my local tf2 files and retry.

I'm suffering the same crashes, with no custom content installed.

The crashes aren't isolated to HH servers, but they're certainly more frequent there.

The November 16, 2012 patch introduced a wealth of new crash bugs:

Worryingly,



rickmus works on (at least) the multi-threading side of all things Source engine, so it's difficult to know what exactly is wrong from his somewhat vague reply.

Most disappointing, given that the Halloween patch had finally restored some stability to the game, following months of consistent crashes.

Would have thought they could fix such a common crash, with that many crash dumps, in a week. Oh well. I'm quite good at waiting games.

Still odd, been playing fine on THG and Rocket-Blast.

Topic title should be 'crashes while playing TF2' as the problem is not server specific. There are issues with the TF2 client and this problem has absolutely nothing to do with HH servers. Any perceived patterns are coincidental.

It's not meant as criticism, feel free to admin change the title.

Nope, impossible to play on HH. (or any other similar server but since I only play on 2 servers i wouldn't know).


Maybe it's Linux server related crash... in any case it's annoying and Valve should fix it asap.

Valve fixed some crashes in their mini update yesterday.

But not this crash.

Very sad.
