HL2.exe has stopped working??

Sickness · 04-07-2015, 08:26 AM

ok im running win7 ultimate 64 bit, 42 in monitor running 1080p 1600 by 900 through hdmi and running steam as well as hl2 in admin mode, anything im missing besides my patience? (that left a few hours ago) i have uninstalled hl2, forever fortress as well as steam, same damn error i guess this is still in beta either that or it has never been properly beta tested. please help would like to play this, love tfc, tf2 is ok but the classic has always been better. I have tried the fixes and custom start up code posted here, have tried running in admin mode but still am unable to get the game to actually start, It mever gets past the initial loading screen. Please help anyone. Anything is appreciated thank you in advance.

Have you installed all of your Windows updates? Seems like a generic answer, but when I got a new computer and my Windows wasn't updated, I'd crash every time I'd start up the game. That went away when I installed all the updates.

I only get that when I quit the game... and at that point, it doesn't matter.

I have this error sometimes too. It is annoying.

Windows 8.1 64 bits, 8GB RAM, Core i5 4430.

I had this problem I posted a fix, the fix applied to me anyway.

Quote:

FIXED
found a corrupt d3dx9_[insert_numbers].dll files

running dxwebsetup.exe did not help until I deleted the .dll's first in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 then the setup replaced them, and all was fixed, leaving this here incase someone else has this problem.
