Possible fix

I got the exact same crash/freeze as lucrayzor... Help pls

I don't know if mine is the same as yours, but every match I play, 3 seconds after the match starts my game just freezes, and never snaps back. Have to force quit the game. Any advice?

pls listen {LINK REMOVED}https://soundcloud.com/puppleprods/countless pls im beggin ;_; dont hav 2 follow just listen maine

my problem was caused by bluestacks running in the background this can be solved by either ending bluestacks using task manager after finished using the program or creating a shortcut to end it, which can be created using this link http://druss.co/2015/06/bluestacks-how-to-kill-process-after-exit/

watch this vid, its old but it works

Put it in windowed mode

Is anyone using windows 8? That doesn't seem to go well with my TF2. I upgraded to 10 and it fixed itself.

FIXED!

im guessing there still are no fixes found for this? I have tried everything and some ppl helped me search for the cause aswell. I only have it on tf2, no other games. Something in tf2 went wrong after the update last year for me and now im screwed :c

I have a laptop 820m i5 and i'm using high performance battery, and i always have freeze for like 8 seconds, and sound looping.
Please valve stop adding HAT and just fix this ♥♥♥♥...

I have some freezes since the last TF2 update, I tried to update my graphic card drivers, I did all windows updates, tried to uninstall TF2, defragmented my HDD, I still have these freezes, I would like to know if there's an other solution to fix it :/

my tf2 freezes and back to normal, freeze and back to normal,

Sometimes my TF 2 freezes for a short time , after that it lags for a few miinutes and it crashes . Can somebody help me with this ?

Mine is lately freezing then I get a ten minute VAC ban because my computer is blocking the VAC system it says. Some help would be awesome. At this point it is impossible to play for more than 5 minutes without getting a 10 min ban. (Also I don't hack/cheat so I know that's not why)

I am also using a laptop Tip: If you want to play games in high performance DON'T USE A LAPTOP THEY SUCK anyways if you didn't do this already ,right click your battery symbol on your desktop, select power options click high performance, I suggest you keep your laptop plugged in. This won't fix the problem entirely but it will at least make the game playable

Help,
I was just playing TF2 and suddenly I have a sound crash. My in game sound keeps looping over an over. I don't know what to do, I have tried nearly everything I have searched. I have verified the game cache files multiple it still no result. Please if someone can help me that would be great.

when i play tf2 on VSH or any other gamemode i just freeze for 1 to 8 seconds and i just die by the hale :|

darn never thought I would join this party but I'm all out of ideas

This hasn't happened before. I've been able to play Source games totally fine before i started to get this problem. Got a GTX Titan first model and an i7-3770k and 16gb of ram. This happens only in source games,

Game Just Stops for my about 20 Seconds into any match, on any map, with any gamemode. I have to restart my pc to get TF2 to close, ♥♥♥♥♥ serial.

My laptop is freezing for a few seconds,then i see i waz shootit...all most before to shoot me is freezing for 1-2 sec.I try to install other video driver...but the same problem.

if you have a laptop , it can be a battery / power problem , make sure to putt it on high performance , or make sure you don't overheat

I did a fresh install of windows and now everything works perfectly, perhaps try reinstalling your graphics drivers first as I think that was my issue because I had been messing with the Catalyst settings prior to the crashes

I forgot to mention, if you open task manager, set hl2.exe's priority to high. That helps.

Keep in mind TF2 is a far from perfect game, while there are things we can do to limit the freezing, it's still valves responsibility to fix this issue. I play TF2 a lot, sadly my game freezes a lot. I have found from personal experience that turning down all the setting and graphics helps a lot, and running in a window helps even more. Additionally turning off multicore rendering helps a lot too, that has been broken since day one. There's no real fix to this issue, valve needs to update this problem. We may be seeing a fix soon seeing that source engine 2 is in the works, all we can hope for is that valve fixes this problem.

It's been a while since I've played TF2. Last time was back in mid-2010. I've since gotten a new video card, then went through several hard drives and then a new computer case (I suspect the video card's heat output was killing the drives, and the case had bad airflow).

This month, I've started playing again, and I've found that I too am now a victim of the random freezing. It gets really infuriating when the game decides to take a nap for a few seconds right when you're attacked, especially if you're trying to avoid a backstab or headshot. The freeze lets them win every time. And then there's the rare but obnoxious 10-second-long freezes that ENSURE your death.

Mine runs perfect on maxed out settings but it freezes for a couple seconds then its normal,sometimes it even loops in the menu.

I have over 250 fps and usually a ping around 30~. Ive been glitching . So lets say i was running id glitch and return to that place. Itd freeze for a few seconds too. also, i would jump and y screen would look weird and move a little in middle of the freeze. ifi go to my main menu it would work so i dont know whats wrong. if you have a sollution at me.

I have high Fps (over 60) full smooth but sometimes get Looping sound crash. I did whatever I see on forum to fix it. No solution yet!

wow good call to make a group just for this

I get random freezes on my gaming computer. I run the game at around 300 fps on maxed out settings.

I'm able to get a decent frame rate in dx9 but I choose to use dx8 and FPS configs in general for competitive play where the extra frame boost really pays off. I hope we'll at least hear word from Valve on this issue in the next week or so. I'd really like to use Chris' Highframes again without crashing every 10 minutes.

Mine only freezes on multiplayer and says hl2.exe has stopped working.

what we know, is that the crashes are only happening to those running in dx8, and anyone who runs in dx8 does so because their computer can't run with a decent framrate in dx9. what i noticed is that it doesn't crash if i don't have access to the item server. i'm able to force this situation by waiting untill tf2 crashes, and then restarting tf2 while steam still says i'm playing it.

by doing this, you will be able to play crash-free, but you won't have your items, and people may call you f2p. Happy thanksgiving.

my game runs alright for about 3 minutes then it freezes and crashes "HL2.exe has stopped responding" PLEASE HELP

I have played tf2 for around 160 hours and just now it started to freeze in game with a sound loop, except for me the freeze and sound loop never stops, it continues forever.

*EDIT* I seemed to have fixed the problem by wearing headphones, played a full round of payload. So try wearing headphones and see if that works for you.

Ever since around the Mann vs Machine update, tf2 has been freezing so much that it was almost unplayable for me. During one ROUND of MvM, it wasn't uncommon for my game to freeze up at least 3 times, for around 10 seconds each time. I tried some suggestions I read on this group and have had some success. When I disabled multi-core support, it seems like the frequency of the freezes roughly cut in half. Also, I found that when using -nosound, the freezing seems to have stopped altogether! Of course, its difficult to play the game without sound, so I am going to check into my audio drivers and see if there is anything there that might be able to fix this issue.

My game freezes on startup.

Well the new Halloween update made freezing even "easier". ♥♥♥♥ this. Why add stuff when making game nearly unplayable... The multicore seems to make this trouble I believe. Before Halloween update suggested config was NOT to use multithread, but now Enabled seems to be a recommended function for me. Of course it is if I wish to make game freeze...

Whelp, my freezing has returned, just as the halloween update starts. I'm worried this will ruin Scream Fortress for me entirely.

Any suggestions: TT2 is shutting down right after Valve-intro. I have Win 7 x64 (it worked on x32). Verified the game = CHECK!, Defragged the game = Check!
Now what? :/

mine is in TF2 is annoying but very playable, but it cause me to die so manny times, I only freeze in some cases when im getting shot by a broup of enemies or when entring a large map space...
