Source games freeze on new high-end 15" MacBook Pro (early 2011)
I've been getting crashing on my new MBP (quad i7) with source games, Gmod and L4D2 thus far. I haven't played TF2 yet on it. It doesn't give an error; it just freezes on the screen which requires a hard power-down.
My Specs are: MacBook Pro 8,2 (the new one) 2.2 Quad i7 AMD 6750m 8 GB of 1333 RAM I found in the Console the location to the latest crash log which is a KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE: http://pastebin.com/QXiTbFHN FYI: Did a 10-cycle MEMTEST, it appears RAM is fine. Also, ran permissions fix, verified and defraged cache. Last edited by Dr. Greg House: 02-28-2011 at 09:08 AM. |

unfortunately the os x crashlogs are near useless for valve software. valve uses breakpad to catch the real crash and os x is reporting that the breakpad thread has crashed when that is not actually the case. I have no idea where valve is putting the breakpad dmp files; ive searched but came up empty.

I'm having the same problem, with the exact same specifications (except I have 4 GB of RAM, not 8).
Oddly, TF2 works fine, but Portal and Half-Life freeze up and require a reboot after about two minutes. I haven't tried out L4D yet. |

You guys are not alone. I've been hearing about this issue on the Blizzard Starcraft II forums as well. Sounds like a driver bug. Hopefully 10.6.7 will fix this.

Same issue. Hoping for a fix soon. Gaming is nearly impossible.

Also, even happens in windowed mode.

I had this problem too. It seemed to dissappear after a few sessions. Also, try downloading gfxcardstatus and switching to discrete only before playing, that worked for me once.
