Go to the following site for the hotfix:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/windows_vista_hotfixes.html

Also be sure to update your drivers from that page as the hotfix will not work without those drivers.

THIS IS FOR VISTA USERS THAT HAVE AN NVIDIA GPU ONLY

Anyway, it fixes the crash at the end of the titan round (the memory allocation error) and when loading a new titan map after the round is over. Apparently it fixes notable problems in other games as well.

P.S. You should read all the stuff on the microsoft page it redirects you to. It's pretty interesting in my opinion.

I got this a month ago (it was in testing phase) and it fixed the HL2 cinematic mod FPS slow down (caused you to go to under 5 FPS) that everyone with vista was getting because of some serious flaws with memory allocation with vista in games, but I still had to get another hotfix for the mod that used less high res textures for certain objects because the mod needs more then 2g's of ram with vista (worked perferctly without the mod hotfix with XP)
