UPDATED 9/16/07 gaybar'd
so FF is finally out and TF2 and my HL2 decides to stop working. i get to the "Loading..." box in the bottom right on all HL2 mods and then it goes to a black screen. i have tried: installing hl2, reinstalling steam, every possible solution offered on the steam support system from going back to old video drivers, old dx drivers running in window, with no sound, in the lowest res to the highest, different refresh rates, tested my memory, i pass the steam diagnostic tool thang... basically i am clueless and im turning here for ideas. tfc is the only game i play and i cant play ff or tf2 and i've been waiting since birth it seems for each. whats your take? should i just reinstall windows...................?
oh and it was working, played ff for a bit... i went to work, came home and it decided not to. tfc works fine. UPDATE i now get this picture after the black screen comes on for ~4 seconds no its not vista - its a vista theme - i run xp pro and it is up to date i hear the normal sounds as if it were working correctly i cannot hear the menu items activating so its not getting to the menu it's stopping before that funny part is i did nothing it just started doing this... i had been running it in window since the problem started so i don't have to win+d or alt tab wtfbbq Last edited by allisvoid; 09-16-2007 at 06:36 PM. |

Not the most fun way of doing things -- but have you tried a reformat?
