In the Video settings you can choose whether you want DirectX or OpenGL. These are the rendering modes Grega mentioned. If you are using DirectX, try switching to OpenGl and try again.

 

[blackdragon55]

it was on OpenGL

Try uninstalling ECX and ESF completely. Also delete any leftovers in the Half-Life folder. Then install again one by one.

Did you start HL atleast once before playing ECX?

 

[blackdragon55]

yeah i finsihed the half life series the normal ESF works for me just not that

 

[Grega]

Does this happen only for ECX or does it happen in standard ESF or any other Half Life 1 related game to?

 

[blackdragon55]

it just happens with ECX

 

[Grega]

Try putting the command fs_lazyprecache 1 into the console before starting a game.

Ive googled round for your error and found this.

Try removing the line that says "//gamedll "dlls\hl.dll""

Apparently some people have the issue that the game ignores the fact that the line is commented out. So try removing the line to see if it fixes it.

If it doesnt, then i am at an end of ideas.
