hl2.exe Failure

Pretty much this is a story all about how, my Gmod got fuck up upside down, if you like to take a minute just sit right there, ill tell you why my account is up in the air.

Pretty much this, I got home yesterday and tried to get on GMOD, The OldenRP server was up for me for the first time in like 2-3 days and I was eager to get on. "Hl2.exe encountered a problem" and it shut off. Tried again and again. Deleted everything and reinstalled it, long story short it wont work.

"Wy my Jeemawd no werk" is the question im asking.

Ok i may be no real help but i have had that problem myself...kinda.....only thing is after it closed gmod it would just work when i opened it again. the only thing i can think of is too completely reinstall steam, and Gmod, other then that Format your Hardrive

Yeah, I tried to delete steam but it just would not work or it would take days. my dad may have infected the computer with a virus though of course when that happens its all my fault because downloading a picture off of photobucket = instant computer failure unlike a random update.

Unlucky, mate. Hope to have you back whenever.

Well if it is a virus formatting the Hard drive is the only way that you could get it to work short of buying a new Computer :\

I do have two though I think the one that I normally use, the one im on now, isn't strong enough to run Steam. Hell it can't even run paint anymore.

I might try or tinker with the hard drive when my dad isn't around.

Gah sorry for the double post but...

Its more like "Hope to have you start whenever"

I just found out about olden rp 2 days before gmod stopped working, it took me a day to try and get some things set up, and now it no werk D:

Go to your Steam Games list, right-click Garry's Mod, go to Properties, choose Launch Options, copy-paste this in:

Code:

-windowed -width 800 -height 600 -console

If you prefer to play without windowed, remove that line.

The essential parts are the -width 800 and -height 600.

You guys -do- know there was a recent gmod update and, that was likely to break it?

Fixed it, Had to re download hl2. Check the Game cache integrity, and a few small commands.

Edit: Now im having another problem, Garrysmod.org wont let me download the stuff for the server.

Ok gaz good job figuring out that first problem the secound one....i have no clue my best guess is that either your computer hates you, or that you should try a different web browser.

Use firefox.
Also, download an anti virus thing, as it seems your dad is a moron when it comes to virii.
Other than that, good luck.

Or the website is down/lagged.

It was a temp thing, The one download problem I have is the packs posted by Geo dont download or there is no button to download them.

That is strange, i don't see why they weren't there, did you try just running a search on the site itself, instead of clicking the link here? Not the best idea in the world, but it is something... : /
