I apid ?40 for the silver and now I can't play it....BARSHTARDS!

[rajputwarrior]

whats sweet is how none of my games work now, WOOHOO!

[sgtLENIN]

Oh god... how difficult can it be to understand that it will be very hard to play when it just got released? Geeeez, just give it some time and more servers will popup, now everyone is trying like crazy. Use some common ****ing sense.

[D?v?D]

Yay! Nothing runs when I try to play any game... just before the update everything was working fine. Poor HL2 waiting for me to me finish it, now it doesn't even work lol

Yes, only from the RIAA (and maybe MS, but shush :devil: )

and Jasco,

Server load has nothin to do with not being able to even load the damn game. :pinch:

they released a new patch (without posting on steampowered.com) to fix "graphics card crashes caused by incorrect buffer allocations " - looks like it backfired/ didn't get tested with the sdk release and dm development being worked on at the same time

[rajputwarrior]

my steam icon in systray just says working

[senior]

Yeah, I purchased the game, preloaded, just downloaded the steam/dm update and now nothing works.

Hope this gets cleared up

I can get HL2 and CS:S running, but not HL2DM.

[S7R1K3R]

[blackcoffee]

[senior]

Someone got problems with that, but someone also obvoisuly got problems because of the server load.

Yah, that might be what funked my system. Here's my post that got buried earlier in the thread.

Ok guys, serious problem.  I'm not positive it's related to HL2DM but I didn't want to needlessly start a new thread.

Just a bit ago, I saw this thread, lauched steam and updated.  Got into one game for about two seconds, then the server shutdown.  I clicked quit game and the screen went blank.  Forced a shutdown, rebooted and after the xp boot screen, nothingness again.  Tried last known good -> nothing.  Tried booting into safe mode -> nothing again.  I'm not overclocked or anything like that.  CS: Source and HL2 both ran flawlessly this morning.  I hooked up an old PC to type this message.  Anyone else have this problem?  Anyone have any fresh ideas on how I can fix the comp?  Only other thing I can think of is popping in my XP disk and trying to repair.  I'll be fumbling around looking for that while I wait for a reply.  Thanks in advance guys!  :(

If your software is not working try to make sure your screen looks like this. Mine works fine with this image.

Half Life 2: Deathmatch ---> Right Click ---> Properties.

[ForeverUnknown]

yeah steam updated hl2, hl:source, and cs:source. cant play if it's updating

[Tim Dorr Veteran]

I tried removing and reinstalling HL2DM with no luck. The thing is crashing, as it leaves a minidump file around in the half life 2 deathmatch directory.

Um, the games are unexpectedly exiting, nothing to do with server load. I think we have the right to complain.

Deathmatch is sweet. I love killing people with explosive barrels or filing cabinets. Of course... I hate dying that way. But it's awesome. I just finished playing on one of the 8 servers I could see.

[ABzHQ2k]

I cant even play HL2 in offline mode now, it keeps trying to connect to the net :cry:

Ok, I have narrowed the problem down to a access violation in shaderapidx9.dll. Have to wait for Valve I guess.

That is the exact problem I have. I just tried to load up CS:S but that was a no go either. The thing is I started DM once but after I quit out of it (there were no servers at the time) it wouldn't start again. And yes I have validated DM and HL2 so they are find. I hope there is a fix soon.
