ok i played for 20 minutes and i didnt get that error! yay BUT....i randomly crash to windows now for no reason but still im not sure i dont have the datacache.dll error cause it was only 20 minutes ill update u with more details Does it crash when you're only playing this game? Does it crash when you're playing other games too? Does it crash when you're just browsing the internet or using other (not games though) programs? ok i installed the omega driver and i still get the datacache.dll error WTF?! :S The omega drivers weren't a guaranteed fix....although I was hoping they would fix this issue. Either way, forth and onward! -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

Does it crash at any other time? Any other time at all, besides when you're playing this game?

Alright me123, I'm flustered now! LOL!!! Everything that I find on it says that it's been brought to steams attention and that they're "working on a fix". I can't find any solid information on how to fix it, only lots of people complaining about the same error with all sorts of versions/mods of both HL2 and CS:S.
I did find this though... QUOTE i just deleted local content and reran it and it fixed everything by itself (source) I'm not sure how to do what this person is talking about though, sorry. If you know what he/she is talking about, you can try that fix if you like. As far as I can tell, there's either an issue with Steam itself, or an issue with Steam/CS:S conflicting with anothe program that's running. Do you run just the game itself, and nothing else in the background (like have other windows open including internet explorer)? Also, have you gone into MSCONFIG (Start>Run>type in "msconfig" without the quotes) and unchecked things that dont' need to start when windows starts (see here for help)? Have you done a few scans to ensure that your computer is free of malware and whatnot, like Adaware SE and Ewido for starters? Have you tried to disable your firewall (if applicable) during gameplay to see if that makes a difference? Try the above, and let me know how you fare with it. If you still get the error, post back and please let me know. I'll try to see if anyone else has had better results with this issue that you're having! -------------------- War produces veterans, wounded both physically and mentally.

listen....
i cant even play for more then 10 minutes because it randomly crashes without info or i get the error box and its getting so annoying now and i dont know wat to do. i tired all the things u said all the time and a few times and i did wat ppl said to do in other forums too. i put up a thread in the steam css forums and they moved my post into a 90+ thread and i asked there if theres anything to do and they said wat u said exactly: steam is working on it. well i dunno wat to say thanx anyways |

I too am having this same problem, and went to stevealmighty's source that he gave for the "possible" fix to our problem. A few posts down I read this.
"My problem was a sound problem and it seemed to crash with a looping sound, it might different for other as me and my mrother have the same computer except for a few dofferences and his hl2.exe error wasn't to do with sound. The fix to my game crashing was either disabling my onboard sound and putting in my "USB Super Sound Card" which seemed to come out really easy. But after I had enabled my onboard sound and updated graphics, sound etc. (I didn't do everything). Any way I went into run and typed dxdiag, went to the sound tab and put the Hardware Sound Acceleration level down to nothing and then exited. However then my Team speak was all jittery, so I went to Options, Settings, Other and muckeed around with the Enable GameVoice Hardware Support and the process priority then after restarting Team Speak it was fine! Hadn't had any crashes since! But my problem turned out to be a sound related one. DON'T GO INTO THE BIOS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! YOU COULD MAKE YOUR PC NOT COME ON!! I also wnet to steam right clicked on Counter Strike Source and put in -32bit not sure if that made a difference and I also deleted the datacache.dll from my steam folders it hasn't come back yet and the game runs fine! Havent' crashed since....... Hope to see you all playing Counter Strike Source soon. This probably works for all games in Steam but I haven't checked yet. Tell me if it works for you too! P.S. If it works for any of you guys I'll try and post it on Steam Support! Also if you go on other forums post this too! To help others! Yours Sincerely, Marler" I'm going to try it and see if it works. |
