[Issue] Game crashes instantly
Darkness:
Okay, so, me and a friend were trying to play Goldeneye: Source for the first time, so we downloaded the install from here, and it works fine for me, but every time he tries to run it, the game crashes instantly. According to him this is what happens:
--- Quote ---Seth.D: Well for like half a millsecond
Seth.D: Not even a millisecond
Seth.D: If you stare at the system tray really closely you'll see the little goldeneye source icon pop up for half a millisecond then disappear
--- End quote ---
I haven't heard about this bug from anywhere else, but I'm posting it under issue because it sounds like an installer or steam problem rather than a problem inside the game. Not sure what the problem here is. He's reinstalled about thrice, and redownloaded it once. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, no error shows up at all, it just instantly crashes on launch. Help appreciated, thanks.
Proxie:
Make sure he is following all of the instructions here: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Install_GoldenEye:_Source
also try launching the game with the -novid command.
Troy:
Make sure he has Source SDK Base 2007 and his video drivers are updated.
killermonkey:
Sometimes it helps to actually start "Source SDK Base 2007" the game, then quit once it loads, then load GE:S
This sounds like he might have an issue with his steam or files. I suggest redownloading the SDK Base 2007 to confirm its not that. This does not sound like a GE:S problem since non of our code is loaded until you see the window and the "Loading..." in the lower right.
Please check for memory dumps in: "C:\[PATH_TO_STEAM]\steamapps\[STEAM_NAME]\Source SDK Base 2007\" there will have a .mdmp extension. If any are found, upload them and provide a link, thanks.
Mangley:
Does he meet the system requirements? They're the same as TF2 or HL2: Episode 2.
This reminds me of what happens when someone tries to run Source 2007 when they have an ancient motherboard that doesn't support SSE.
