Validate with Steam? Do you HAVE Steam?

 

[finalmega173]

yes i ahf steam...i cant validate

 

[Kester^]

It's a texture problem, basically you are either missing the textures or something is corrupt.

Why can't you validate?

 

[finalmega173]

ppl say i can type something at the console to solve this problem..any clue?

 

[finalmega173]

so can anybody help me??plss

 

[Kester^]

mat_reloadalltextures may work, but I very much doubt it. You should validate you gcf files.

 

[Beerdude26]

To validate, click this link: steam://validate/380

 

[Mahalis]

Yah. The purple-and-black checkerboard is what the engine shows when it can't find a texture. Verify game cache; failing that, delete local files, redownload, reinstall.

 

[Shasta]

yes i ahf steam...i cant validate

EVERYONE with a legal version of the game CAN validate. So what are you trying not to tell us?....

 

[kupocake]

Last time this pink checkerboard thingy came up it was a pirate copy wasn't it?

Always amusing when people seek tech-support for something they stole. I mean, after-sales support is kind of not something you should expect if no-one sold it to you

only games that are made by valve, have those symptoms of being pirated though

 

[Aenama]

I get that when I ALT-TAB out in back in to CSS or HL2

I used to get that, now I just get crashes!

 

[kupocake]

Alt tabbing is the mark of piracy! Get them boys!

 

[Mahalis]

BURN THE WITCH!

This would've been a perfectly legitimate question if not for the "i cant validate" thing...

 

[CyberPitz]

D: RUN MY FELLOW PIRATES!

 

[finalmega173]

[finalmega173]

[Shasta]

Then you are either extremely stupid, or have AN ILLEGAL PIRATED COPY. In which case BUY THE GAME and go away.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Shasta, take it easy...there really is no need for that attitude either, it doesn't help.

Thread starter - you require the game to be validated, I suspect you don't know how to do so. Go to your games list, right click HL2 then go to properties, check across the tabs & look for a 'validate integrity of game cache' button. Let Steam fix your game files and your problem should go away. Please do this before reposting, and look very hard to do this action. Steam has this feature inbuilt into it, it's impossible you don't have the feature. If you want to fix it, help yourself and do it!

 

[Naudian]

Just in case he still doesn't get it...

IN STEAM, RIGHT CLICK HL2 EPISODE ONE, CLICK PROPERTIES, CLICK ON 'LOCAL FILES' TAB, CLICK 'VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE'.


If you still get the problem, I dunno, try reinstalling the game. Also make sure your video card drivers are up to date.

HEY!! im just 9 yrs old okay!!! dun be so rude on me!wat kind of web is this!

HEY!! im just 9 yrs old okay!!! dun be so rude on me!wat kind of web is this!

Someone sig this asap.

To verify your game files, follow these steps:

Left-click on the Steam tray icon.
Select "Games".
Click on the "My Games" tab.
Right-click "Half-Life 2: Episode One".
Select "Properties".
Click on the "Local Files" tab.
Click on the "Verify integrity of game cache..." button.
Wait for it to complete.
Click "OK".
Click "Close".

If you are unable to verify your game cache, you've got an illegal version and we can't help you.
