Ok.

First of all make sure you meet the system requirements.

Quote

Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX® 8.1 level Graphics Card (Requires support for SSE), Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card, Windows® Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

You need a program called Steam and an account for it. (this is free)

You then need to own a Source engine game on that account. If you own a Source engine game on Steam then you will have Source SDK in your Steam tools tab

You then need to have Source SDK Base - Orange Box installed in Steam.

Then you need to download Goldeneye: Source Beta 3.1 and follow the installation instructions.

Then all you need to do is restart Steam and Goldeneye: Source will be in your Steam games list and available to play.

A big part of getting help is telling us how it's not working...
Though the above should get things rolling for you. Just be certain that you download the FULL.exe first. (When you get to that step.)

alright this is what i did so far a purchased half life 2 for 20 dollars i have steam downloaded im now downloading the orange box and goldeneye beta 3 is downloaded but all i see is files for it its not in my games tab on steam and try to add it but its just a folder with files in it this is my problem

Mangley · « **Reply #4 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:28:50 pm »

Is the folder named gesource? If so you just need to put it in your C:\program files\steam\steamapps\sourcemods\ folder and then restart Steam.

miccheck89 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:30:49 pm »

yes it is and i did that im still waiting for orange box to download can this be the problem? its almost done now

actually its named gesource_beta_314_patch should i change it to just gesource?

You need this:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source/downloads/goldeneye-source-beta-31-full-download-exe1

Seems you downloaded the PATCH.

miccheck89 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:40:15 pm »

thats what i downloaded though

do i even need the orange box?

major · « **Reply #8 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:45:20 pm »

well before you said gesource_beta_314_patch, which would be the patch.

But all you should need todo is:

-install Steam
-install a Source Program (you said hl2, that will work)
-download Source SDK Base Orange Box
-install the FULL version of GE:S (should be ~505MB)
-restart Steam, and it will be on the games tab.

alright heres my new problem the game is now in my gamt abs list but when i lunch it goes to the goldeneye soucre screen its blue with a gun then after that it turns black and nothing happens i dont know if its freezing or what

killermonkey · « **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:54:33 pm »

Start "Source SDK Base - Orange Box" first, let it load to the menu screen, then quit the game. Then start GE:S and it should be fine

miccheck89 · « **Reply #11 on:** December 13, 2009, 12:05:25 am »

it also happens witht he black screen when i open orange box but not half life 2 works fine expect i got a box that pops up and says your video card does not appear in our database

killermonkey · « **Reply #12 on:** December 13, 2009, 02:21:46 am »

LOL, now there's a surprise ([/sarcasm])

Upgrade your video card drivers, NOW. If that doesn't work, get a new video card.

miccheck89 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2009, 02:40:44 am »

how do i update my drivers i got a brand new dell laptop studio only acouple months old? where can i update my driver

Kinky · « **Reply #14 on:** December 13, 2009, 03:08:57 am »

Not that i want to sound condesending (i dont im just REALLY tired)...

...but the manufacturers website might be a good place to start.

great got it working how do i use a x box controller with it?

Mangley · « **Reply #16 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:43:24 am »

wow..

Well, if you have an Xbox controller that works for PC.. in theory you plug it in and then set all your controls in the game options for it. (you may need drivers for it for it to work)

You should note that playing with a controller on any first person shooter will set you at a disadvantage to those playing with a mouse & keyboard.

killermonkey · « **Reply #17 on:** December 13, 2009, 05:15:21 pm »

Not gonna be outwardly rude, but seriously man, Google?

miccheck89 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2009, 05:29:30 am »

well i been playing with a mouse and keybord and people kill me to fast i need a controller for this...stupid question but...is there a reason how people kill me so fast? anything im missing out on please tell me thanks

EMH Mark I · « **Reply #19 on:** December 14, 2009, 05:43:26 am »

They're probably killing you so fast because of having weeks/months of practice under their belts

. Keep in mind that headshots do a lot more damage than trunk and limb hits, and that right shift brings up the crosshair at the expense of making you an easier target. Strafing also helps.

You also might have been playing under the LTK game mode where all weapons are capable of one-hit kills.

miccheck89 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 14, 2009, 05:49:20 am »

hmmm LTK possibly might be the reason thanks

drukqaddik · « **Reply #21 on:** December 15, 2009, 04:26:59 am »

think i might try playin with a controller. lol just for fun. since jimbo cheats hell still beat me tho
