SOLVED: New version wont load hl2 dammit stopped working

(1/2) > >>

santhiadangus:
SOLVED: Downloaded a patch which fixed launch problems.

I launch the game and it shows the menu background with 'loading' in the corner and thats it i can move my cursor around but no startup vids play or anything. I minimize to find that hl2.exe stopped working.

Ive tried verifying source sdk 2007
uninstalling/reinstalling gesource  :'(

thanks for reading

Need your computer specs please.

Can you run any other source games?

Try adding "-dxlevel 81" to your command line properties.

Older rig.
Win 7 32 bit
Athlon 64 2.41ghz
1.5 gb ram
512mb ati x1650 agp (dx9)

Will try what you suggested right now.

santhiadangus:
Ok launch with -dxlevel 81 worked and a little window came up that said there is a new patch available so I installed that restarted steam and decided to try launching without -dxlevel 81 just to see if the patch made a change and it did! Works now fine in dx9.

But just a couple little questions under video advanced options, shadow quality only low and medium are available is this normal?
And the server list will jump to all with 2000 ping weird.

I'm pretty sure you can only select low and medium because your older rig can only handle a low dx level.

And the server list pings do tend to spike for me as well.
