Whenever I try and start my own game, ESF closes out. But it's not my graphics card, cause whenever I play someone elses game it lets me play just fine. So what's going on?

1. Read this.
2. Once you run it, make sure your video mode is OpenGL. If the game tried to launch but then kicks you out at the start, it's probably because the default video mode for valve games on your computer is OpenGL, but your drivers aren't installed. Just reinstall them if it's neccessary. If you still have a problem, then it's probably Steam. I have a problem with it currently, I can't run the game at all. In that case, go to the Steam forums and ask there.

lol there was cursing around there somewhere... but no, EVM doesn't necessarily make your game quit, must be the OpenGL thingy, but I'm pretty sure it works with Direct3D too, at least it worked for me.... AND software... o.o . Bleh I don't know what the problem is lol. If it IS EVM, my guess is u didn't install the patch. You can find it at www.esf-world.com . Otherwise, I have no idea what the problem could be...:rolleyes:

My tips goes to OpenGL as well. It is a common issue that some messages the HL engine sends to the client can cause it to crash for reason yet unknown. And for the others ( volcov, legendary, lionheart ), your unqualified comments aren't going to help him at all and should be considered off-topic/spamming even flaming , but that's not my decision.

When you choose create server, select settings, and make sure 'lan game' is clicked.

Have some respect for the other forum users, and please keep the flames and insults to a minimum before any other moderative action is needed to be take, sir. Just take this as your friendly nudge back to the light.
