[ISSUE] hl2.exe error when launching via Steam

(1/1)

Man Cannon:
When I run goldeneye through steam, i get an error right away, then it closes. To be a little more in depth, the exact message is : 'hl2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'

killermonkey:
Sorry, but this is not enough information to help you

mbsurfer:
Try disabling you Steam friends from in-game.  Go to Steam>Settings>In-Game then uncheck the box that says "Enable Steam Community In-Game"

I had a similar run in to a generic error like yours for CSS, and unchecking that did the trick.

Man Cannon:
Nope, still no luck, i wish i had more info on why it won't even boot up, all my other steam/source games work fine, this one i just can't seem to get to start

Konrad Beerbaum:
Are you trying to join a GES server, or are you launching the GES game from the games window?  Currently, in order to play the game, you need to launch the game first, and then join a server, or join a friends game.  It will crash if you try to launch a game by trying to join a server, or join a friend, before you have the main game running.
