[BUG] Impossible to close GE 5.0: black screen

(1/1)

John:
Hi guys,

I just installed GE 5.0 with automatically added Source SDK Base 2007. I've no trouble playing the game but when I want to quit, I get a black screen (I guess Souce SDK Base 2007 is still running). I get stuck as I can't access Windows features like Windows Task Manager. The only thing I can do is manually rebooting. I'm using Windows 10 (x64).

Thanks for your help!

I've had the same problem.  A temporary fix that I found is using Alt + Tab. This took me back to the Steam Account page. Clicking on the Golden Eye icon on the taskbar took me back to the game screens.

Death:
Same problem here, started running the game in window boarderless mode to avoid black screen / crashes forcing me to power cycle my machine.

to do the same, right click on Source SDK Base 2007, choose properties, choose launch options and put


--- Code: ---
-game "D:\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\gesource" -windowed -noborder -w 2560 -h 1440
--- End code ---

change \steam\steamapps\sourcemods\gesource to your steam dir, and change -w and -h to your screen resolution

so for default steam install and 1920x1080 =


--- Code: ---
-game "C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods\gesource" -windowed -noborder -w 1920 -h 1080
--- End code ---

John:
Hi Death, I updated the launch property and I can't launch the game anymore  :-X

The SDK appears as "Running..." on Steam a few seconds then stops.

I tried to remove the properties, no change.

Any idea?

Thanks!
