I've tested with 3 different clients so far, and none have experienced a crash when trying to connect.
All 3 clients use net_graph 3, and are running the "-beta srcds0407" switch. If anyone feels like testing, I have a server setup with the latest beta, with sv_pure 1 configured. Connect to 202.58.54.105:27015 Regards, Adam. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Ottalini Sent: Tuesday, 5 June 2007 4:57 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Source Engine Beta Update OK, I tracked the crash down to a single setting in my client config.cfg for CSS. If you have net_graph set to anything except "0" it will cause the crash. I verified that changing this single parameter made all my other systems crash the same way. net_graph "3" does not cause HL2DM or DOD:S to crash however. Cheers!
