Hi, im new to esf obviously...

So many problems with this game......

To begin, at first it always said it couldn't load my client.dll file so i kept trying different stuff...

Then some time later, after many frustration, i finally get it to work, but when i try join a server it says, client.dll differs from server....

Yet again more hours of frustration and trying different stuff, atlast it worked, i can join a server! 3 cheers, dont ya think? No, i dont think... I can get into the game but when i click on a character, ESF quits itself...

Anyways, i know you guys have heard ALOT of these problems but ...

im desperate... thx in advance.

Welcome to the esf forums and the games itself. First off 2 things to know make sure you read the stickies and the AUP

now to fix you're problem

1. make sure you have steam. download it at www.steampowered.com

2. install half life into steam. play half life at least once

3. download and install esf beta 1.2 (i suppose to got this far)

4. download and install esf beta 1.2.1 patch.

that should pretty much do the trick. If you have any further problems repost. You'll get an answer quickly

hmmmmmm

do you use software mode? thats my guess. if you do. go into your options menu in steam. then go to the video tab and swtich to either d3d or opengl (i suggest opengl if your card supports it esf was made specifically for opengl or so im told)

Hmm dunno why it doesn't work for you o.o

I suggest you ask a moderator. I will search the forums previous threads for an answer to you're problem. In the mean time i suggest you look for a moderator that is online and pm him.

::EDIT::

Ok i searched the forums and it turns out that the problem could be you're fire wall. If it is on try to disable it and see if it works then. If that doesn't work i'll do another search
