Anybody else getting read errors upon joining?

[Jeziah]

Because god dammit I give up
I just spent 25 minutes fruitlessly launching and relaunching TF2 trying to rejoin MKWEA as it fills up for the first time I've seen in week(s). If this has happened to anybody else (crashes and read errorswhen loading into servers, usually at map changes) and they know what causes it, please tell me.

p.s. It's not just MKWEA, it's any and all servers.

Try defragmenting your game cache^?

From Steam Games list: Right click TF2, Properties, Local Files tab, Defragment cache files

If that doesn't work, Verify integrity of game cache^? (same location)

If that also doesn't work, reinstall<sup>?


?</sup>Denotes a method that FadedOasis is unsure if it will work or not

[Jeziah]

lol, done all that :/
Well, I didn't reinstall, but if it verifies alright it shouldn't be files, eh? I'm afraid my brand new ram might be corrupt

Did you memtest your ram?

[Jeziah]

When I first got it, yes. Well, not me, but my dad. But he did tho. I think. :/

Well, it doesn't last forever.
