For about a month now my game will randomly freeze for about a minute, during that time I also get a sound loop of the last second. The sound loop includes mumble, not just tf2. After that the game responds again but it looks like this-

At first I though my GPU is dying but this only happens during TF2, all other games are running smooth. Any idea what could be causing this?

ist doof

have you overclocked the cpu? if so set everything back to default. gl

No overclocking, but I do have Multicore rendering enabled. Though I’ve had it enabled for ages with no issues.
Should have probably added that I’m running TF2 in Dx 9 and my drivers are updated.

cook your video card

try dx8

if that doesnt solve it, start looking for new gpu

I had that problem when my gpu was overheating. Try checking your temps and clean out dust

Had the same problem here’s the thread if you wanna read up on it http://etf2l.org/forum/leaguea/topic-10134/

Otherwise here’s the post that helped me http://etf2l.org/forum/leaguea/topic-10134/page-3/?recent=178185#post-178011

That looks like it may solve it, is there a similar program for Nvidia cards?

Zadkiel

I think coolbits still works?

AnimaL

MSI afterburner works on any card

Lyon

Have you updated all drivers?

I do/did have exactly the same problem. But it happened very irregular. Sometimes can i play for hours and nothing happens and on another day the problem appeared after a few minutes. Strange thing about it is the fact that this error occurs only with tf2 and no other game.
But thanks for the hint with underclocking. I´ll try this too. But i hope that there is an easier solution. ( don´t want to underclock my graphic-card everytime before playing tf2 :D )
