Unable to launch game

(1/3) > >>

WhiteZero:
Haven't played GES in at least a year. Installed the newest version, 4.2.3, verified my Source SDK 2007 (Black Mesa Source runs fine, which also uses it).

But upon launching GES, a window just briefly flashes for a split second and nothing happens. No error message or anything.

killermonkey:
Check for any .mdmp files in your Source SDK Base 2007 directory. It may have crashed on you. You might also want to try reinstalling the mod, sometimes the installer freaks out.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried reinstalling the mod now. And I don't have any recent .mdmp files in my SDK dir.  :(

killermonkey:
You can try adding: -dxlevel 81

to the launch parameters of the mod in steam

This usually corrects these silly force closes because Valve likes to start games in 640x480 at 16-bit color...

Thanks, the article helped. Using -dxlevel it wouldent seem to save my resolution changes. So I just forced 1920x180 and then set it manually, restarted without any launch options, and now I'm fine.  :D
