We have released an update to the beta that fixes the crashing some people have seen on launch with the most recent beta. This update is for Linux only. You can get the update by running the hldsupdatetool with the "-beta srcds0407" flag. No other changes are in this update apart from that change, we are working on another update for later in the week with more changes.
