If you cant get HL2DM to work

[Yombi]

go to start -> run and type

steam://validate/320

That should validate the files, worked for me

 

[Abix]

Didnt work for me. Thanks anyways.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I was actually thinking of doing it... may/may not work but we'll see

 

[samtheman]

I'll try this and let you know how it goes..

 

[skater4evr5]

nope doesnt work

 

[Steve]

yay. workin'...score...thanks

 

[mzhang23]

Didn't work for me.

 

[samtheman]

Yeah didn't work for me as well, thanks though.

 

[weber_uc]

yeah didn't work for me, going to try to validate hl2 again

 

[Irish_PSU]

I tried and it didn't work, thanks though. Patience will be the answer to this....unless like, another quicker one comes along!

 

[00Behave]

Don't work for me, sorry!

 

[rammstein]

haha finally, I get my vengance! it worked straight up!

I had to formatt to get my hl2 to work

 

[HadouKen24]

Mine are validating automatically. Hopefully I won't have any problems.

* crosses fingers *

Here's to you, Valve. :cheers:

 

[Meeklo]

guess its working its now validating steam 34%....what dose that mean lol?

 

[mrxskinny]

Cool, it worked. I think you have to double-click the HL2DM icon and when it doesn't load, do the steam://validate/320 thing. Thanks.

 

[Democritus]

No workie.

 

[cadaveca]

this application has failed to start because Steam.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

 

[antimatter]

Tried it. Didn't work.

 

[MBeggar]

didnt work, but thanks anyway

 

[xReKLiSx@sbcglob]

ive been hearing in the irc channel #halflife2 that the authentication server is timing out when steam trys to athenticate thats why no other games run

 

[Yombi]

oh forgot to mention, you may need re validate your HL2 files aswell.

type in run steam://validate:220

 

[delirare]

changed nothing. none of my source games run now

 

[skater4evr5]

changed nothing. none of my source games run now

yep nothing works still. i almost started to cry after about an hour of trying to get it to work. oh well Going to bed NICE release VALVE !

 

[agentbob00]

same here...oh well, need to go to sleep....damn work

 

[Spaz_McNasty]

hmmmm
tring

 

[Spaz_McNasty]

hmmmm
trying

 

[BlurBang]

has anyone checked out the memory dump files it's creating when it doesn't run? perhaps the answer is in there. i can't understand a bit of it.

 

[Tyguy]

files sucks, folders suck, computers suck....

 

[Salt_Lick]

I think that did the trick thanks a lot! :cheers:

 

[chimpmunk]

takes way too long to validate.

 

[HadouKen24]

Hmm... didn't work even after I took that suggestion.

Bizarre...

Maybe it'll work after a system restart. I guess I'll resume defrag and let it do its thing overnight and see what happens in the morning.

 

[zenz]

nope not working for me and my friends T.T
