It was running fine and I figured if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and it ran fine for over 6 months. Awhile ago I had a window open up while in steam that said that my video driver was out of date and CS-S may not run properly. I have been playing CS-S and Halflife2 for several years, in fact it’s all I play. However, I can add a few new pieces to this puzzle. Hello Hello, well it appears that I'm not the only one with this problem.

If this don't work, if you've got a custom XP theme program like Windows Blinds, uninstall it!! I had one program that just wouldn't open because of this thing and I dont know why but get rid of it!

I dont believe him but apparently its true for everyone and I've been told this so many times.

Quit and change your windows resolution back! It works OMGĪnd anyway I think someone told me that source games runs better the higher the resolution (like that makes sense). Now turn down your windows resoultion to 800圆00, launch hl2 (yes it will work!) and change your in-game resolution to 1280x1024. The thing is you probably are all using 1280x1024 windows resoultion, with an In-game resolution of 800圆00 or sumthing similar. Now it's actualy a resoultion problem, the guy that posted it before I didn't even bother trying it out because it sounded stupid. I don't know why you guys have been buying new DVD drives and got it to work because mine certainly wasn't because of that seeing as I downloaded the game. Guys after hours of havin a think on why HL2 or any source game will not work on my BRAND NEW PC I have found the solution, and guess what, its already been posted in this thread!! Offline and Online Mulitplayer modes should all work now. Paste the following in the box.ĭo the same fix for Half Life 2 Deathmatch and Counter Strike Source. Choose Properties, then click Launch Options. +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +snd_async_prefetch_priority 1īe sure there is a space between -applaunch 22 and +matįrom the Steam Play Games Menu, right click on Half Life 2. "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 22Ĭopy and paste the following AFTER the above line: In the line labeled Target, you will see something like this, depending on where you put the program when you installed it:

Right click your Half Life 2 icon on your desktop (the one you would normally double-click to launch the game). There is in fact an error and it has to do with memory. Ok everyone, I have the solution for the load failure with no error.
