I wouldn't take the bad memory thing on-board too much. I've had that excuse suggested many times, even when it's something not memory related at all...
Is this only occurring for you (when testing) or is it happening for all clients? Linux is usually pretty good with memory management and file corruption, so I'm leading more toward a user/group file permission issue. However if the issue doesn't occur for other clients there may be an issue with your local TF2 installation or your local filesystem. _______________________________________________________ Shane Arnold - [email protected] "For want of a nail, the horseshoe was lost.
