Game freezes as soon I enter a server

Hi there, thanks for the report.

When the game crashed, did you get a error message pop up and the game automatically close? If so, then it should have produced a crash file. If you go to your Steam/steamapps/accountname/source sdk base 2007 folder, you may find some files that are named like hl2_4104_crash_2010_7_27T22_25_1C0.mdmp. Look for the one that is dated around the time you crashed and see if you can upload it to here, it should help us find out what exactly the problem is.

When you say after the loading screen, when exactly do you mean? Did the loading panel in the bottom-right get to full and then it crashed? Or did you get past that and see in the game briefly?

Also, does this happen with any other Source games? Any mods?

Thanks in advance!

I can briefly see the game I joined, and then it freezes. Crash dump attached

Hi edo3,

We're still investigating. In the meantime, could you answer the following:

- Does this happen with any other Source games? What about other mods? Can you tell us which mods you've tried?
- Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling Overwatch?
- Have you tried defragmenting and validating the Source SDK Base 2007 files?


Thanks!

1- It only happens with ZombieMaster.
2- I tried with no result
3- Same as before.

Hmm, that's weird.

I don't even think ZM uses the same engine we do (Orange Box).

The MDMP isn't telling us much, but we're still looking.

Are you always getting the crash? Or is it at random?

Always, and maybe I could try someother mods that use the Orange Box to see if I get the same result

Yeah that could be helpful. Plus any other Source games that you have played that you know do work.

Then it is not a Overwatch related bug, sorry. The great majority of the mods I tried crashed when i entered a server, except some, like Kingdoms Collide (dont know why). Sorry if I posted this thinking to a mod-related bug, i'll find the solution myself, you can close the thread.

It's no problem. We can still try to help!

Did you try uninstalling Source SDK Base 2007 and redownloading a fresh GCF?
