You have to install source sdk base 2007 (under tools in your steam library) in order to be able to play mods like GES that are based on this source engine version.

If you still have issues with the game crashing at the intro video, add -novid to your games launch options (right click on GES properties>launch options).

Please upload your crash dump to a better location. I cannot access the dump where it is stored. Do you have drop box or skydrive?

strange that it don't work, anyway i uploaded it here : http://enhtf2trader.free.fr/crashdump/hl2_4104_crash_2013_5_18T21_50_35C0.mdmp

don't know if it can help but my OS and steam is installed on G:/, i'm on Win8 x64 and i use 2 screens (i tried with -windowed in case of..).

i already tried to :

- reinstall the game,
- redownload the game
- verify the cache of source sdk base 2007
- the commands -novid -dxlevel81 -autoconfig -windowed (not all in same time)

There is something wrong with the installer you used. I suggest downloading the server zip and just unzipping it all ontop of the installed files. You are missing the scoreboard background image and most likely several other files (this is what the MDMP told me).

ok i got it working, i uninstalled ges and downloaded the  "4.2.1 Full Install | [EXE]" (took me several hours the mirror is very slow, about 70ko/s)  and now it work well.
before i was using Full 4.2 (it was crashing) installed 4.2.1 update and it was still crashing.

for some reason moddb http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source list 4.2 full on the front page.

thanks for help.
