HL2: Episode 1
I've been playing this recently and been experiencing a lot of problems - a lot of crashes. Has anyone else seen this and are there any fixes for it?
Thanks Andy |

what system specs? I have never had any crashes in this game at all :S... should be standard to post ur specs so people can see what problems could arise. If its a new card then its prob graphics drivers (or espcially if SLI/Crossfire)
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz (400Mhzx8) 1.52V (set in bios, 1.47v real) | 4GB GeIL PC6400 4-4-4-12 | Gigabyte DQ6 @ 1600Mhz | HD2900XT 1GB | Enermax Infiniti 720W | Silverstone TJ07-B with custom watercooling | BenQ FP241WZ

Sorry i thought my system spec was in "my system" but, for some reason it wasn't (i had previously put them in
 ) anyway it's there now, all other games have run flawlessly apart from oblivion which crashes on exit, but i presumed this was a common problem.Thanks Andy |

Nevermind, completed it anyway with numerous crashes in between, its not an isolated problem i was seeing, did a search for it and valve know about the bug but haven't gotten round to fixing it yet. Odd though how i've not seen it in any other source based games :/ if anyone's interested in the issue do a search for datacache.dll on google.
Edit: despite it's bugs it was pretty cool to play too. |

 If I even find a solution (or reason) then I will post to the forums... |

I got crashes all the time, it took me weeks to finish since I could only play it for more than 2 minutes on the 'lucky' days.
I'm seriously considering not getting EP2... but then I would miss out on Portal and TF2. |
