Why does gamestop/ebgames have a countdown to midnight on their website if none of their stores are going to actually be open to sell it?

i still think the source engine looks fantastic
Maybe I should link to the video in question:
HD version
I'm sure the Source engine looked better than this.

Also, it's the console version.

I'm really not seeing where it looks bad. In fact I'd say it looks pretty good, especially given the age of the engine as mentioned before.Blader5489 said:

Error is related to Shaderapidx9.dll
What I have tried...
- Reinstalled all of Steam & all games
- Did the ingame GCF file checks, all good
- Full re-install of latest Direct X
- Full re-install of latest video drivers (did a "clean" first)
- Checked for updated drivers for sound, network, and any other hardware I could think of
- Did WMI repair per Valve site
- Checked DCOM service per Valve site
- Turned off all other apps running
- Used every "Startup command option" I could think of
Searched the net for hours. Found tons of people with same problems, but no concrete solutions. Some things work for some, most for none. Even tried some random batch files for more WMI stuff, and re-installs of files from Windows CD.
I have pretty much given up at this point lol

I'm not sure if by reinstall you mean reinstalling from a backup on a DVD\CD\HDD, but try deleting the game content files and try redownloading everything again. Perhaps the .DLL is corrupt and the file checks aren't working. You might as well, you have nothing to lose.
try going into the properties in TF2. Set launch options to -window, and -width 1024 -height 768. Crazy, but it might boot the game for you, if you haven't tried it.Mr Pockets said:
Otherwise, check these drivers, they are specifically for TF2 on a 7 series:

Listed in my post, did that. Even went as far as to find and remove every instance of that DLL on my computer and have it 'regenerated" when needed.Illuminati said:
Tried every launch option I could find reference to (as I said in original post) and I have tried three sets of drivers (including beta drivers) and am curently using the newest ones available for my card.theultimo said:
I am resolved to waiting on Tech Support at this stage. I'll just start in on the game some other day that tomorrow I guess. Unless by some miracle Portal & Ep2 work...but I doubt that. I still won't play Ep2 till I finish Ep1 so it's irrelevant.
