Haven't had one of those in a very long time, so I'm unsure of what causes this.
Most strangely, I cannot find my mdmp files, they are not where they should be (common/Source SDK base 2007)
I tried verifying the cache of SDK base 2007 and it came out with good results, but the game still won't start. Have they changed the directory where the mdmp files go?

I believe minidumps go to the gameinfo path (gesource). afaik that's where they've always gone.

Not for my part. I've did a full search on my harddrive of a MDMP file created in 2014 and it has found absolutely nothing, either. I think I'm going to wait out for the next Steam patch.

Alright, so I tried the following ;

-Rebooting, obviously
-Check integrity of Source SDK Base 2007
-novid and -windowed in launch options
-Wipe gesource completely and install it from scratch
-Uninstall/Reinstall Source SDK Base 2007

Still no luck at all... This is what I get every time I start the game ;



Source SDK Base 2007 by itself boots and plays fine, but GE:S explodes at each launch.
EDIT : I have noticed that the game always crash after a certain amount of time, If the game loads fast enough, I can get to the menu and see the options and hear the music, but it'll crash after 5 seconds or so, no matter what.

Unfortunately I cannot do anything without an mdmp file

[namajnaG]

I had no mdmp file to go with unfortunately :/
Although, I have found a solution. Awkwardly enough, playing the game on a different Windows Session will work. I don't know what causes this but I guess I'll have to switch session every time I want to go for a GE:S match.

try adding "-dxlevel 9" to the command line parameters. You might have a corrupt registry entry for the game and this will clear it out.

Tried that before, it didn't work out.


EDIT : 1000th post. Whoo.
