does NOT hang on exit

What I noticed: it's the sdl audio process which hangs the source games (at least it is the process which needs to be killed). For the deathmatch there is no audio in the menu -> no hang.

Now that you mention it… A game is not supposed to create more than one process. Is it trying to run a helper executable or something? Let me check it.

sdl audio

That doesn't mean much, by the way:

Was it a VAC-protected match? With VAC you should see a crash within ~20 minutes.

[netchild]

Yes, it is VAC protected. I just played an empty map for maybe a minute. I'm not really interested in a deathmatch, I just tested them as I had bought the HL-bundle and was able to provide info for other people.

[shkhln]

Fair enough. I don't want to test VAC either.
