But,... I notice a crash its not the typical behavior of a error on a "non-important" stuff. Its not that the engine its poorly designed, but that making shaders itself SEEMS a almost dangerous task. I have notice, ,... that a shader may slowdown a game. I have notice that most "fix" for shaders problems where about to use lower DX levels... avoid running shaders at all. You will never disable sound to "fix" a sound problem, because sound work never crash games nowdays. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
