i keep getting this when i try to play ricochet on steam. i get the rico start-up screen, then it crashes. i can't find this "errorlogs" directory you speak of, otherwise i'd post the logs. it has probably not been created on my system since i never got to play a game w/ it yet. ricochet still works fine on the WON servers for me though (i chose to keep my old files and such). can anyone help?

I don't get any errors, but I freeze up sometimes when trying to load a game, no error or anything, just complete freezeness.

Its really won that came out with this, just so's we will appreciate them more.
Sounds like your install hasn't successfully completed, or it's got a config problem with your graphics card...

I have been having the same problems...could only connect to ricochet and not HLDM...however I tried some different HLDM servers and some work fine while others just cause my computer to lock up.
I have only played Ricochet via STEAM none of the other games wanna work yet...
That's probably the case... but to make sure, do the unspeakable, and switch to Software mode on your video options in Steam/Half-Life... then try OpenGL/DirectX...

ah hah..i finally played my first ricochet game on steam today (at ohio's #1). yeah, it was a graphics card issue (thanks net ^_^)...when i ran in software mode. i then updated my drivers and then i could play w/ openGL mode like i usually do. i don't know why it wouldn't run ricochet but would run everything else...it's curious but...whatever.
i'm having graphics card problems in general. for example, sometimes windows will freeze on startup...i then have to start through safe mode and then restart from there. also, when i go to "get my screen back", it takes over 30 seconds for the image to pop on...until then, there is just a solitary blinking cursor in the upper left corner. and now that i've updated my drivers (yet again)...when i go into certain applications, my computer gets stuck for a while...no hard-drive thrashing or anything...it's quiet for about 2 minutes, then it goes back to normal.
i just added an auxilary fan (right above the AGP slot) and it's pushing a lot of air out (which is good), but my 200W ps fan hardly moves any air (i never noticed how much air it was moving before). i was wondering if my computer is overheating or not. should i get, say a 300W ps (kind of pricy) or is there possibly another issue causing my problems?
