Title: Weird error occurs in GES Beta 4 for me
Post by: Kratos on March 05, 2010, 05:38:40 am
Freaking error appeared twice in on week while playing GES B4

I never had any errors in the previous betas. This one happened after I installed Beta 4. I have done a format  recently and then installed Beta 4, so steam is installed freshly.

says memory cant be read.... hmmm maybe its my shitty pc? well I just bought a WD Caviar black 1TB and its error free. Any thoughts or tips?

Im gonna do a memory test using Memtest86. Will post back results.

Thanks and as always you guys are the best.

This is a crash. You need to look in your: [PATH_TO_STEAM]\steamapps\[SteamName]\Source SDK Base 2007\ for files that end in .mdmp

Zip up all the files you find and post them here so I can see where the crash was.

There have been a lot of crashes in Valve's code recently, I think they updated something that is causing intermittent FAIL (as usual)...

Speaking of valve, How many servers do other people see? I only see 30 refreshing, the other day it was 50

Right now i can only see OWS and official servers in my favourites list. Valve grrrrrrrrr :\

Ya, I see a lot of servers missing in my list, even ones I know to be up and running.  I haven't been able to see any OWS servers, and WNx Chicago these past 2 days.  I only got 20-24 showing up when I refreshed throughout today.

Short answer, valve sucks, honestly all these steam updates are fucking with our shit AGAIN.

Listen, if this is happening to many others, i have a plan to make a little page on gesource.org to display ALL the servers one by one and list their IP. This way ppl can add every server they like to their favourites as the favourites list is not in any way broken.

Also here is a tip. Use HISTORY tab and filter the "game" to beta4. That should give you a list of every server for GES youve ever been in.

Ahh, if anyone has been following my server problem thread, you would have read that this threw me off yesterday, as my server was running but not visible.  People had to connect via my public IP.  I was lucky to even figure it out as I had added my own listen server to my favorites list, which, like was already mentioned, had no problem.

I have also been getting more crashes than normal (had maybe 3-4 just last night).  I'll see if I can post my log files.

WTF? i just launched the server browser and had 50 servers, after hitting refresh, there are only 30 left.
Restarted steam, now i see 37 servers.

Please Valve, not again!!!

Yeah, it's all trippy...

First servers crash, from what seemed to be a gamecache.dll error(valve code), and wouldn't be to bad if only the servers reboot, but nope they stay down till hand rebooted.

And noW can't tell 20% of the time if there down or just no showing on list...

Thanks. I sent the .rar file to ya through PM. Too bad I dont have visual studio and neither any knowledge about how to investigate dump files. Im a noob.

I did a Memory test using memtest86 and left it all night. Woke up and did 10 passes and no errors. So my memory is working great.

Im also going to do a video card memory test just to see how my vid card is doing.

Thanks for your support.

Nvidia is a great company. It was a mistake what happened. Look at ATI a years ago, their drivers were a piece of shit. My pc would be hanging, restarting, blue ass screens, etc.

Nvidia drivers didnt have a single issue when I got my first Geforce MX440 back then.

Still today I love Nvidia. I still use the 7600GT and love it, until it got memory errors today which broke my heart. :'(
