i am using the latest 7068 beta drivers and whenever i goto exit an online game of HalfLife via the console (pull down the console and type 'exit') the game crashes.

in game video settings: 1024x768, OpenGL
commandline: HL.exe -32bpp

i switched to D3D and it did not crash, but the game runs like crap compared to OpenGL.

anyone else experience this crash?

i guess i could exit the game by hitting Esc, but that takes too long :)

I have the 7068 and I don't have those problems. this is what is mostly sugested on how to fix most problems.

1. If you have an Asus board, update your bios to 1005B or latest (Important, follow update instructions)
2. Download DX8, VIA 4-1 v4.28 (if you have a VIA chipset) and the 4.13.7068 ATI drivers.
3. Uninstall all ATI components using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel
4. Locate the ATI Multimedia folder in C:\Program Files, and remove it
5. Do a Find Files and delete any ATI*.* files that you think should not be there.
6. Restart Windows (in VGA mode)
7. Install the Via 4-in-1 v4.28 drivers from http://www.viatech.com/drivers
IMPORTANT: make sur AGP support is loaded in Standard mode (not turbo)
8. Install (or re-install) the latest version of DirectX (8.0) even if you already have it installed.
9. Install the latest ATI display drivers, AND do not restart or reboot.
10.Search and locate ATIGART.exe (in the ATI dir) and rename it to OLDGART.exe
11.From the CD - Install the ATI Multimedia Centre ONLY, no drivers or VGART.
12.Restart the system

That should fix most of the problems but not all. Just my opinion.
