    Ah anyone remember that patch that prevented the "buffer overflow"?

    Was playing Team Fortress 2 and got a buffer overflow message when I was at 1700 MB/2045MB

    I'm pretty sure I installed it but getting this error. Kind of annoying since I was just about to take the point as a heavy :(

    Nope, I don't remember. A patch for what? Windows or TF2? Anyway, buffer overflow is a pretty broad category of errors that can happen millions of different places for millions of different reasons.
