OK, I tracked the crash down to a single setting in my client config.cfg for
CSS.
If you have net_graph set to anything except "0" it will cause the crash.
I verified that changing this single parameter made all my other systems
crash the same way.
net_graph "3" does not cause HL2DM or DOD:S to crash however.
Cheers!

Subject: Re: [hlds] Source Engine Beta Update
I have a second and third client on different machines that I just beta
updated and they both appear to run ok, although one of them crashed out
the
first time I tried to connect to a server. The second time it connected
and
ran fine.
The system that crashes has a 6800 Ultra with the latest vid drivers, the
ones that don't crash have a 6800Ultra or a 5900Ultra.
One symptom on the machine that crashes is that I get a splash background
but never see any text before it crashes.
I tried (with no change) -dev -condebug -toconsole -window -dxlevel 70
ah, the condebug helped and gave me this:
CSoundEmitterSystem: Registered 835 sounds
CResponseSystem: scripts\talker\response_rules.txt (15 rules, 76
criteria,
and 16 responses)
