Crash whenever Auto-Sniper Fires

My game crashes whenever the autosniper of the terrorist team is fired. I never fire it, and my teammate rarely do as well, but when they do, my game automically freezes. Anyone know anything I can do?

I believe this is a known bug. I think you're being killed by the sniper and CS:S is trying to display a kill message with a graphic indicating the weapon that killed you. That graphic is actually loaded from a font, and CS:S requires that the glyph data fits in a very specific amount of memory space. It fits on Windows (even though CS:S has no good reason to expect it to) but it does not fit with our font code. I think we have a hack to work around the problem that will be included in 6.1.

Yes, this problem should be fixed in 6.1(it works nice for me). A workaround for 6.0 is to play the game at 800x600 pixels, where the glyph fits by luck.
