Frequently Asked Questions

• Nothing is playing.
  See the Troubleshooting page.
• I crash when a video is played.
  See the Troubleshooting page.
• I can’t spawn some of the models.
  Some models require CS:S, Portal, or DoD:S.
• Does this cause server lag?
  No. PlayX consumes no server CPU and no server bandwidth while a video is playing. The lag you (and others) may experience is due to the video taking up all of your own Internet bandwidth (get a better Internet connection!).
• Can I play a movie file that I have?
  Talk to sk89q. It is not a simple matter.
• How often does PlayX crash the client?
  Exceptionally rarely with the newest version. However, there are a handful of people that will always crash every time in PlayX and even in the Steam overlay. For that group of people, PlayX’s crash detection will disable PlayX on next run so that they don’t continue to crash.
• I get a bunch of Lua errors repeatedly.
  If you are running a server, make sure that you allow file download and/or your fast download works. Otherwise, try removing the PlayX folder and reinstalling PlayX.
