Learnaseyego Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have been trying to play Left 4 Dead and it keeps crashing (freezes and goes back to my desktop) I have tried tweaking all the settings, updated my drivers and googled the problem. One thing I found via google was to play the game in window mode with no boarder. After doing that it plays longer but then does the same thing. None of my other games are doing this. I played Dead Space for about 3 hours the other night. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireTime Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 if you have a slightly older ATI card it some times helps to force it to run in directX 8 by using the launch flag https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?p_faqid=242 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
