Codrut, COME BACK TO US! Also, how's AOE2 HD?

Ohhhhh crap, that's awesome. I'll have to set that up.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what exactly do the rocketspawn commands do? I've never seens +/- attack/reload.

Well, that would be beneficial to my strategy of continuously healing if I have someone pinned down, while someone is trying to pick me off from afar

Seems that it was in fact the GameTracker app causing the crashes. The more you know.

Pretty much all that's in there I've tried. Through some troubleshooting, and going through Application logs in the Event Viewer, it seems it may have something to do with a hook dll for the GameTracker app. I typically use it to join the gc server, though I suppose I could use the console connect command. I was having some crashes happen in TF2, almost exactly like in L4D2 (assuming it's the hl2 engine, not the games specifically). I closed out of the GameTracker app, and TF2 booted back with no issue. Now downloading L4D2 again to see if that indeed fixes it.

Out of what will likely be branded stupidity, I decided to wipe out my hard drive and install Windows 8 (not pirated, available through technet). Everything installed fine; restored all my games from backup with no issue. Go to play L4D2 and it loads alright, though it doesn't pull down my settings from Steam Cloud. Whatever, I'll just go through and change the resolution back and eventually have to rebind all my keys. I change the resolution, then the game crashes. I try to open it back up, crashes within 5 seconds. I've tried deleting and redownloading, but it doesn't work. What's odd is that it does work if run as admin from the .exe in the Steam folder; however, it then tells you you're using the -insecure option, and will be booted from VAC games. So a fair warning: if you were/are planning on upgrading to Windows 8, probably best to hold out until it's verfied that L4D2 works on it. Luckily I made an image of my hard drive before nuking, so I may just reload that to be able to play...or use a Win 7 vm I already have set up. Update: GameTracker was causing the crashes, not the games or the hl2 engine.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but thought it'd be better than starting a new one for the same reason - I joined the other day and am still getting kicked for member slot reservations.
