Half Life 2 woes.

Ok, this game was working fine up until the Santraps
level.

Now, both in Half Life2 and Counterstrike, I get the 'Memory
could not be "read"' error message, complete with wonderful
sound looping, at random points. I then have to quit Half
Life2, or if that doesn't work, I have to restart the PC.

Perhaps it's the update that has caused it, as it used to
work fine and only recently has it gone to shit.

Please may a do something to express my anger?

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.

Thanks. Please help. Someone.

Copy the save game files / uninstall half-life 2 / reinstall
half-life 2 / never play half-life 2 online again (to avoid
the patch)

That's the only thought I had really.

Did you have similar problems?

or you could've tried using Steam's support and found
this answer, which perhaps can help.

mem_force_flush [0,1] - If set to 1 forces the cache
to be flushed on every allocation, which is not necessarily
optimal but can reduce memory-related errors.

That may help you.

Tonnes of people are having the same problem. There is still
no real fix, despite a massive thread over at the steam
forums. Check Here

I have tried many measures (like the ones above) but to no
avail.

Damn PC games...they're good WHEN THEY WORK! What a waste of
money for all that upgrading!

try asking Steam directly for help - if anything, you can at
least tell them you're pissed off.

Only Half Life 2 could get away with this sort of debacle.
Any other game would be dead in the water... Surely valve
knew it'd be big, it's not like it was an "unexpected
success" or anything.

given as long as it took for this game to be released, it
seems like it was still rushed a bit at the end.

there are a few hugely widespread bugs that seem like they
shouldn'tve slipped out.
