alright my m8 has got this issue with his Ati Radeon 8500 and the new patch...

When he tries to join a server, the games crashes and goes back to desktop.... After installing the Ati fix patch thingy, he is able to join servers, but then whilst playing it still crashes back 2 desktop...


any ideas ? tia

The fix for crashing to desktop was to add this code "-nocdaudio" to your target line in the shortcut you use for half-life.

To change the target line: rightclick the icon > properties. You should find it on the window that pops up. Should look something like this C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -nocdaudio ...dont forget the spaces (and don't delete anything that was already there, just add the -nocdaudio).
Hope it works out.
