I get lots of sound looping crashes in the demo as well, I'm holding out on buying the game to see if things clear up and to hear more about the overall game. I found it funny that they offered you the demo if you preorder, that's like saying you can see whats behind door number one if you pay $75 first - why not let us look through the window? At least they released it eventually though.

Yeah, they even included that stupid video that plays after you beat the second level. I already bought the damn game!

Looping sound lock up is fixed with 'mat_queue_mode 0' in the console. This disables multiple core mode. Some Valve developers are posting in the Steam forums about it. Multicore was worked fine for me last night, but has been spotty before.

ugg the update releases today killed L4D for me. I haven't had any problems until now. I try to connect and it just loads and unloads. Some other guy I was talking to had the same problem.

Anyone else getting any crashing in the game? I'm constantly getting disconnected. Keeps saying server times out. Did they update the game today or something? Sucks I can't play it now. Only got one day of play in.

I played last night for about 6 hours straight with 1 crash with looping sound.
My roommate, however, has yet to play more than 10 minutes total. Crashes every time in the first few minutes. He's tried about 3 different nvidia drivers with no luck. Sucks for him!

It works fine for me. They probably did a little update and changed some crap then updated it again. Just like the demo, they updated some small stuff and it didn't work right but it works good now.

I don't understand this. I have been reading the threads about Far Cry 2 here and at Ubisoft for a month now, and I thought Valve was synonymous with quality / don't release anything until it's finished? I thought it was only Ubisoft that released games with bugs?

Nah its EA that releases buggy games, valve makes high quality games, and they constantly update them through steam, like instant update. Theres no patches to find etc its all done through steam.
