Well youd need the fmod.dll

Sadly its on esf-world and thats down right now.

Open the console. And see if there are any errors.

So you dont get to the main menu?

I managed to get the fmod.dll from the loki.de site (they have a free mirror).

So i suggest you use that instead of the weird exe file (honestly this is the first i heard of that thing). But having DMZ in the name kinda suggests to me that its either for DragonModZ.


Anyhow link to esf beta fmod.dll -> http://files.filefront.com/esf+beta+fmodzip/;10374816;/fileinfo.html

Sky you might want to upload this!

Using STEAM?

Define crash. Back to desktop or just to the main menu?

Any specific map or allways?

Any AMXX pluggins or ESF modifications installed?

You MUST be using STEAM. ESF is designed for legit Halflife. Once you have HL activated/installed through Steam, run HL once (just to menu and close) then run the ESF installer. Everything should work out fine after that.
If you have any other problems post them in Help section.

I dont know how many times ppl have to plaster this over the forums for it to sink in. Perhaps the team should say something about steam in the new installers??

There is your problem.

The while the fmod.dll file does fix your error. Ot only works if you are using STEAM. If you arnt using STEAM searching for the fmod.dll file is a waste of time since it wont do a thing.

IMO youre better off just buying HL through Steam. Only $9.99US for a HL pack. You just need a parent with a credit card or your own paypal account. Means you get latest version, you dont need a cd, you are free to dl it again anytime, everything is totally legit, and you can play ESF!

And you must play ESF. Also, think of all the other mods there are for it, it's a good investment for fun.
