Greetings,
I have been playing HL2 for a few days now, and all in all I would have to say that I've been lucky by not being afflicted by the numerous problems that seem to be commonly occuring.
This one I haven't seen yet. Yesterday the game worked. I was playing, the patch was released. I downloaded the patch, then played some more. I turned off my computer at night. Today, when I went to play, it won't work.
Here's what's happening. I open up Steam, and it connect's without any issues. I tell Steam to launch HL2, a window pops up telling me it's preparing to launch Half Life 2. I wait and wait, then the window disappears, my mouse cursor changes to the hour glass and I can see my HDD light is solid. Then nothing. The cursor returns to normal, and my HDD light turns off. In all it lasts about 30 to 45 seconds from the time I tell it to launch. There are no error messages, Steam continues to run normally. I even checked my Windows Event Viewer to see if any error messages were logged and there are no error's logged.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
