Could you guys do me a favor and see if HL2: Episode 2 loads for you? Mine crashes when trying to start a new game, and a lot of people on the discussion page are mentioning similar issues. I think there is a problem with the latest update. This is my first time playing Episode 2, and I am using the same settings I just used to play through the main game and Episode 1.

Here's the discussion page:

I tried verifying the game cache, deleting local content/redownloading, and messing with the video settings, nothing seems to work. Sorry if this isn't thread worthy .. I just finished Episode 1 and want to know the conclusion.

Half Life 3 patch incoming.

Now that you mention it, its not working anymore for me too...strange, had played it before, had some saves and everything.

Spoiler

half life 3 confirmed?

 

[Vash63]

I just played through it a couple months ago when it released on Linux. Rock solid for me, not a single crash.

 

[Saikyo]

Its working for me now on Windows 7, verified the cache and it worked. But I guess the problem is now just for starting the game? Gonna test that...

Edit: Tried a new game and its working.

You cant fire up without episode 3.
Torrent it somewhere and tell us where you got it from

 

[Ermac]

bump ... anyone else?

Installing, will let you know.

And will then play through it again for the 400th time if it works.

 

[Skab]

Yeah, working fine for me.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Not working here, intro video finishes then exits before it can load the main menu.

But in all seriousness, maybe a recent patch is creating some instability?

Hmm yeah I don't know then if you've already tried verifying the cache and reinstalling. I'm running an i7 & Nvidia setup as well and had no trouble. And you have the latest WHQL drivers right? Maybe try fiddling with other settings like Steam cloud functionality and audio too. Other than that I dunno. Good luck!
