Beta Shutdown

[teoftw]

I have installled the Open Beta but when i open the game, more or less in 10 seconds it shuts down without any errors or anything. Just closes. Please help me

Please tell us first if you are using Steam or not.

 

[teoftw]

Yes i am using Steam. I want to note too that one friend of mine is having the same problem when he is trying to play 1.2.3 version. graphics are set on open GL

 

[teoftw]

Sorry for doubleposting but i have been waiting for many days. Any help?

 

[Painkiller]

are you using steam or did you hack steam?
also can you show us a screen shot of your steam games menu?

 

[teoftw]

I have already said that i use steam

 

[Skyrider]

Could you tell us a little bit more of your computer specs? Your processors GHz's, Memory RAM and your Video Card Type. The first 2 can be found my right clicking on "my computer", then "Properties", look at the button. As for your video card, this can be quite important. Do you run OpenGL in the video options in the game?

It happens the same to me sometimes. I just enter and some random time later it shuts down just like that. Most of the time it doesnt happen.

If you've been adding bots, that's whats probably crashing your game.

If you've been adding bots, that's whats probably crashing your game.

Using Bots in the Open Beta gives you an error message though when it crashes.

Did you get a CrashDump for the specific time in your HalfLife Folder ?

I have Dual pentium CPU 1,8Ghz, 4Gb RAM, a 512 Mb ATI videa card and video set to Open GL. Any clues? I add no bots. I dont even have to start a server before it shuts down

Look in your Half Life directory for files with the extention .mdmp

Do you have any of those?

 

[teoftw]

I can;t see any. U mean on the main folder huh?

 

[Grega]

No in the Half Life directory. Not the ESF directory.

 

[teoftw]

I dont see any

 

[teoftw]

Will anyone help me? I have been waiting for weeks

 

[Grega]

One last idea. Is the server set to LAN or internet?

If that dont go then im afraid i have no idea what could be wrong

 

[Greg2k5]

Delete the esf folder, and redownload and reinstall, don't just reinstall from the setup you have already, that could be the problem

Something could of got corrupted.

Also, before you run Esf, start a game of Half life 1, like the training room or whatever.

I have the same problem, valid steam account, lots of games, halflife 1 works fine, ESF old version works fine but new beta crashes before i get the menu to create a server. I am running Vista Ultimate 64bit, 6 GB of RAM, 2x Nvidia 9800 GT Ultimate Editions in SLI...
