I have to admit, after lurking in the shadows reading various threads here, including yours, I was a bit shocked by your reaction! You probably don't care, as I am a headcrab and you don't know me, but apology accepted, I really hope you get it working :cheers:
Apologies accepted -- and I am having some of the same problems (I have the referenced memory error and graphics corruption). HL2 fallout has a LOT of people who have FIXED this problem.... THey noticed that it happend when HL:S was incompletely downloaded -- I checked, and Mine is at 86%, so I am waiting to see if this helps. I will update everyone if this fixes me.
