Hl2 error.

When I click on the icon I go to a blank black screen. I go to the task manager and it says it is not responding. It gives me a HL2 error. I thought maybe if I went into the server viewer I clicked on a sever. I got in game, chose my class but it froze and gave me a HL2 error.

EDIT: I can run CS:S and other source mods, it's just FF D:

Verify your sdk base game integrity. Got to steam/games/tools right click sdk base properties/localfiles/ verify integrity of tool cache.

There is always a chance reinstall will work but before you do check this link out. It will run a check for conflicts between your system and steam. Sometimes it helps others not.

steam://support/?Issues=*

If the link doesn't work copy and past into your browser.

OK I went to that. I pass everything. I don't get why it just stopped working all of the sudden though. I mean I've changed nothing since then.

I tried helping him reinstall his video card drivers and that didn't help either.

Any help is appreciated guys, jordan loves his FF and if he can't play, then I won't have anyone to follow around and join servers with

Can you think of anything that you might have DL or changed or updated around the time the problem started?

Lets see I had an oral for to prepare for which was supposed to be today but now its next Tuesday which is good. So yeah I hadn't played since around lunch on Saturday I can't think of anything that has changed since then though. I don't remember downloading anything really. Nothing, especially since my ISP has been having trouble so I've been without internet so there was no time to really download anything. Dammit. I honestly don't remember anything. Although I do have a shit memory.

Try running with -nosound in the command line.

Doubt it'll help but it's worth a try if you haven't already.

Well ok
  • 3GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core
  • 3GB RAM
  • Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE graphics, 128MB dedicated graphics memory.

And yeah I'm a smart fucker too but not when it comes to this Also so does source not support dual core? Also I get about ~20fps (as low as 8 on some maps) while playing and thats on 1024x768 (my monitor should be 1920x1200 but my graphics card can't handle that.) I've been told I should be able to get more though. But anyway probably should worry about getting the game to work again first :P

I'm sure you did but did you uninstall FF the reinstall SDK Base and Then FF?

I'm shooting things out there now.

I used to have a readeon 9550 and it and Steam were temper mental bitch's.

I had to install the vid card then update the drivers then install the game.

But your issue if I understand right is different. The game was working then crash HL2 error.
