I've had random crashes in the past but ever since El Capitan (or maybe even Yosemite) they've just been incessant to the point of being predictable. I've had a ticket open about this on Steam Support since October 2015 and it just repeatedly gets closed. I commented about this in someone else's report, but as that may actually be a separate issue he's experiencing I'll open this one too.

You have to unlock the file hl2osx that’s why you get ‘permission denied”. Is this any way I can make it run automatic, without writing the “G” instructions all the time I want to open this game? I can’t create a file that will run this game by clicking with the “-game left4dead” mode? Writing this all the time is annoying.

Guys, everything works as described user “G”.Īnd with permission denied, the easiest step is to download app called “BatChmod”, and drag the entire folder with game to it, and set the checkboxes as I showed u below: Now, the game will run with instructions of “G”.

Each “movie” is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives. In meantime I may see if killing background processes (AV, firewall, etc.) will make any diffference as they are all using up resources of their own.Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D’s survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. This is only a theory as I haven’t got another 4Gb to put in just yet, but will be curious to see if it’s anymore stable at all. RAM would be the most obvious potential bottleneck as if at any point there is insufficient RAM available to one of the cores it will result in paging to the hard disk (slooooow) and significantly slow down the processing of that core which would knock it out of sync, or cause a stutter if it can recover quickly. One theory I had is that if all 4 cores are under heavy load then the most you can do is make sure each of those cores can process their streams as fast as possible without bottlenecks.

Not sure if there is anything that can be done about this. He has a quad core which seems to be particularly prone to multicore rendering crashes (again makes sense as the game has to synchronise processing from 4 streams instead of 2 on a core2duo which will be more prone to sync failures). Turned that off and there was a massive drop in performance, but at least it wouldn’t crash. Bought a corsair power supply and that fixed that problem (was crashing even with multicore rendering off and detail turned down, though was a more stable while heavily underclocked, which makes sense as it wouldn’t be sucking as much power).Ģ) As described above multicore rendering was still causing crashing even on the new psu. In summary what that meant was out of the 750W, only a small amount of the power was actually being passed to the GFX card which was insufficient as the 4870 will require at least about 25amps to itself. Turned out this Winpower psu only had 35amps going to the 12v rails, and even that was split over 2 rails with most of it going to the motherboard instead of the 2nd 12v rail (which the gfx card and hard disks, etc. He had a 750W power supply which I thought was sufficient for a single gfx card.

He has Saphire 4870 1Gb vapor-x, 4Gb ram, Core2quad Q9550.ġ) Identified his first problem to insufficient power to the GPU. Finally figured out that this game crashes for a number of reasons that I’ll list below.

Same kind of thing game could play less than 5 mins and crash or could play 30 mins then crash.

I’ve been looking into crashing issues on my bro’s pc for ages now.
