Hello Izqtiancai,

Welcome to TSF.

I've read up on this problem and it seems that Antiviruses can sometimes interfere with your games. However if you disabled McAfee, i dont see this as the problem.

In further case, another major cause can be running out of Page Pool Memory. This is a special type of memory used for Direct3D Applications. Running out of Page Pool Memory will result in game crashing as you describe.

I recommend following these steps to check your Page Pool Memory from this link, which is from Steams forums.

Let me know the results,
Thank you.

Bam! found the solution. 1.6 is clashing with another application running in the background. i don't have it in front of me right now but if you enter your task manager and look at processes. The process you need to end is "fingerprint application"

The script that runs in the background for the Dell XPS fingerprint scanner is the culprit... now working perfectly
