Title: GE:S 4.2 hl2.exe has stopped working upon startup
Post by: JOHNRKO007 on August 13, 2012, 04:54:51 pm
When I heard about the new update, i did a fresh install of Half-Life 2 and downloaded the GE:S full exe from the torrent site you provided. I installed GE:S and upon starting up i see the valve intro and the GE:S Loading screen, followed by the screen going black and a message pops up saying "hl2.exe has stopped working"

I have no idea why it's happening, somebody help?

You're not supposed to see the Valve intro, You're supposed to see this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js1OMljZ5a0
Have you installed Source SDK Base 2007?

You don't need a game anymore to play Goldeneye Source. Uninstall Goldeneye Source first, unless your going to play Half Life 2 get rid of that as well, you won't need it.

Now click on "Library" on Steam and underneath "Library", click on the little arrow and select "Tools".
Somewhere toward the bottom you will find "Source SDK Base 2007", right click this and select "Install".
Once finished, double click the Goldeneye Source v4.2 installer and it will automatically install Goldeneye Source v4.2.
Now install the Goldeneye Source v4.2.1 patch.

Now you should be OK. By the way, what are your specs?
