Minidumps everygame starting today?

What the hell happened? I was playing fine yesterday, but now every time I join a game, I get a minidump error. I haven't installed anything new so I'm not sure what changed from last night.

Will update...

Update: So it appears that every time I host a game, I get a minidump. This never happened on 1.02. I can still join games and play all the way through them, but I can't host them for some reason.

It appears that this is an issue with 1.03 because I used to host all the time on 1.02. It kinda stinks now that I can't host...

Edit:
Reinstalling the game now. Also, I had one setting in my user.setting changed. I had ShowIntroMovies set to FALSE. So I changed it back to true. Hopefully between reinstalling and returning everything to default values, I'll be able to host again.

Well, the problem appears to be fixed. Reinstalling the game stopped the minidumps, so I can finally enjoy some games again.

So if anyones experiencing minidumps, try reinstalling and updating to 1.03 from a fresh install. Worked for me.

I'm more and more convinced it's a memory management issue. Try removing all your temporary files, do a disk cleanup and defrag and then expand your page file slightly over obsessive. I free'd up 3 gigs through disk cleanup/defrag, set my page file to 10Gigs and it's seem to have minimized the minidumps. I've had only 1 or 2 in several days, and this only after extended hours of gameplay.

I also have a memory leak in one or two programs that I run. I notice that after I run these programs, and the leak begins, I will get a minidump immediately if I execute the game.
