Freezes near end of loading

plainodd · 11-18-2008, 02:23 AM

I tryed playing a map today, 2fort to be specific, I did the Alt-Tab thing for steam, and then near the end of the loading of 2fort, the game froze but the Task Manager said it was still running.

Is it the Alt-Tab thing messing with it considering I did it around the time it started loading? I have Vista as well, but any source thing isn't supposed to have alot of Vista trouble from what i've heard.

I tryed checking google and other threards, but they were all just "ideas" but most of them had to do with the Alt-Tab GUI.

So, I think that may be the problem and I just want to make sure as that wasted my time so I couldn't play it for the first time.

Alt-Tabbing when a level is loading generally destroys everything.

Or do you mean Shift-Tab (which loads Steam Community)?
