Title: [BUG] Impossible to close GE 5.0: black screen
Post by: John on August 21, 2016, 09:28:11 pm

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.

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: [Select]

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

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: [Select]

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

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!
