Crashing on start-up

(1/5) > >>

xHalcyonx:
I just installed the game today for the first time ever, version 4.1, and when I try to run the game it goes to the image of the PPK with the little "Loading" message in the lower right of the screen.  After a few moments the game boots me to desktop with the message "hl2.exe has stopped working."  I have uninstalled twice and reinstalled twice after the initial install.  I also attempted to use the "-novid" fix that some have suggested to no avail.

Thanks for your help!

Hi

Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

Then can you confirm that -novid does not work via the Steam Launch Options? If that still doesn't work could you provide your system specs.

killermonkey:
-novid was a fix for Beta 4. v4.1 does not use startup videos in the classic sense anymore so -novid does nothing.

Please upload any crash dumps (.mdmp) zipped up from the following directory:

[steam]/steamapps/[steamname]/Source SDK Base 2007/

xHalcyonx:
Where should I upload the file to?

killermonkey:
Anywhere you can
