hl2.exe crash

[EnzyteBob]

Hey all, finally able to settle down and get back into FF, however no changes since I last played about 6-8 months ago and now hl2 crashes when trying to get into a server. I have not made any major changes so not sure what happened. I can run hl2.exe directly from steamapps/common/Half-Life 2 folder. I had 2 user profiles, the one I never use has a Source SDK Base folder while my main profile does not nor a hl2 folder. Also, i did try reinstalling hl but same result. Im too old and tired to spend hours trying to figure this out, so looking to all you young whippersnappers for suggestions Thanks EB
