FF doesn't load, (along with other games.)

Everything · 09-14-2008, 02:37 AM

I dunno what's going on all of a sudden, everything was going smooth last night, but now Fortress-Forever won't launch.

I tried uninstallingthen reinstall FF three times, downloaded and installed any possible update windows need, deleted that ClientRegistry.blob two times, restarted steam lots of times, vertified cache/defrag (TFC/TF2), disabled all possible anti-virus programs, and updated directx.

Nothing launches. Is it because Half-Life 2 isn't updated? (5%)

Anything I missed?

BoltR · 09-14-2008, 02:45 AM

Uhh, what are the other games that won't load?

All you should need is SDK Base

Everything · 09-14-2008, 02:54 AM

I have that installed, and TFC, TF2, Half-Life and a third-party mod - The Specialists won't load. (FF too)

I realized half-life 2 wasn't installed, so it's updating right now.

BoltR · 09-14-2008, 02:57 AM

And none of those will run?

Everything · 09-14-2008, 03:01 AM

Correct.

Nothing loads, they just all say "preparing to launch", then quit out.

Restart computer?

Everything · 09-14-2008, 04:38 AM

Heh, I just restarted my computer.

Nothing.

I did contact steam support though, so yeah.

Yeah, that's probably the best avenue at the moment. That and searching steampowered for something. Which I don't have the time, or drive to do at the moment.

did you verify the game integrity of sdk base and maybe even hl2?

games or tools/right click/properties/localfiles/verify integrity of game cache.

and this might find something or help.

steam://support/?Issues=*

That will check your system and steam for conflicts. Also if you read through it it gives you some good suggestions for possible fix's for crashing and other issues.

Everything · 09-14-2008, 05:40 AM

Odd, I thought I was up to date on my drivers.

Guess not. Let me see if it works.

[AE] 82694 · 09-14-2008, 05:58 AM

Is it Nvida card for reason steam likes the older Nvidia drivers. If thats the case Toss a coin it might be worth a try to revert back Just in case. 4est will tell you to start with remove scrub reinstall drivers.

Everything · 09-14-2008, 08:35 PM

Request lock, steam solved.

Circuitous · 09-16-2008, 12:05 AM

Lock approved on one condition: what was the solution?

Everything · 09-16-2008, 12:10 AM

Deleting all files in my steam directory except steam.exe and steamapps, was the solution to this issue.

Circuitous · 09-16-2008, 12:14 AM

...wow, weird. Okay! Locked.
