The Hidden - Source

hl2.exe has stopped working PLEASE HELP!

WolfMind — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 00:01:43 GMT

Hey so I have been trying to get this game working for a long time and it just does not want to co-operate with me. Every time I launch the hidden it just crashes and says "hl2.exe has stopped working". I have figured out what I presume to be the source (GET IT?) however: the source is that source sdk base 2006 (now you get it) always crashes on start up. It gets through the loading screen of the dude with a valve in his eye, then it flashes the loading screen with the background, goes black, and brings me back to my desktop with the same "hl2.exe has stopped working" error message. So (i think) since source sdk base 2006 keeps crashing, when I launch the hidden, it just crashes that too since it doesn't work.

I have tried verifying the integrity of the cache, and I have tried defragmenting the cache files. Neither of them work. I have uninstalled source sdk base 2006 and re-installed it countless times and nothing seems to work. PLEASE HELP!

Error in recieving the steam user ID ticket

Learn2live135 — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:32:01 GMT

i keep getting no matter what, an error during server start-up from "receiving server info" to "sending client info" it will just say "disconnected: error verifying steam userID ticket". it happened after i joined a random server my friend found that required me to download something and i cant join any server while this thing is messing it up. i was just hoping that someone else has had this happen to them and has found a solution that i might use.

Hy, I can't get the game to start

AloneMentos — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:45:26 GMT

Hy there, I just bought half life 2 to get this mod cause I saw it on a youtuber and it seems like so much fun :)

Problem is the game won't start...

I downloaded the first link that said for those who are starting from 0, then i installed it, but i didn't have hl 2 at the moment, I just had half-life 2 deathmatch, cause i figured it's the same engine and the same idea. After i saw that it didn't work i tried to uninstall it from steam... I CAN'T, i don't have any option for that, then i bought the hl 2 gift from a friend, and i have the original game.

Now can someone tell me how can i get into the game? i click start and the game does nothing.

EDIT :

I managed to uninstall the whole thing by deleting the files from sourcemod, the game wen't off my game list, then re-installed it...still nothing >.<

I have no buttons on my menu, please help

tjustsoup — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 02:40:33 GMT

I have tried a vast multitude of things in many ways. I have played Hidden before and had no problems but recently I have tried to play and it starts up perfectly but I don't get to do anything at the main menu. I get the pictures with loading in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (the menu picture, not the actual menu), then I hear the music for the menu, but I don't get any buttons to do anything on the left hand side of the screen. I still see loading the bottom right hand corner of the screen, I can hear the sound when I hover my mouse over where the buttons SHOULD be, but I do not see any buttons. Apparently I can interact with them too, but nothing pops up when I click those "buttons" that I can't see.

I downloaded the game with steam off, I updated it, and I have up to date SDK, SDK '06, SDK '07, and a Source game in my steam library. This is making me very sad ;_;7
Please help me because I have scoured the internet for days searching for this problem; a couple people have had it but no one says anything about it.

Freeze after Loading

Moptopboy — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 17:05:52 GMT

My game always is successful in starting up, but as soon as I click to join a server and after it loads it freezes on the screen where you have to click ok and I hear a repeated audio file every half second. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling. This isn't specified towards any server because it also happens when I click tutorial.

very low frames per second help!

yazan — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:52:35 GMT

every time i launch the game no matter what i try to do, even with low quality i still get unbearable low fps!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: please help what can i do?

Adrenaline/Hidden's Grenade Blur Effect turns into a Black Screen

Arromus — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 00:57:31 GMT

Hello.
I've been playing The Hidden for a while now with a few friends, but have discovered a problem with the game.
Whenever I get a blur effect from coming into contact with a grenade or after taking adrenaline, that effect turns into a total, blinding black screen.
Anyone encountered this before?
Any fixes?

Also, all friends who play on my server have the same problem.
Finally, this also happens when I'm on a world server as well.

hl2.exe crash

firesoul296 — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 02:24:56 GMT

i wouldn't post this if it was like any other post i have read, steam support has not answered my request after five weeks.
after looking over at least a hundred posts, i still run into the issue of hl2.exe crashing on startup. every thread i've read has been closed before an actual solution was posted. i really need help.
starts up, after the valve screen it crashes. event viewer gives me this:

Faulting application name: hl2.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4445c334
Faulting module name: scenefilecache.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4474ce19
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00003e2c
Faulting process id: 0x7e8
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce6713437b7900

Report Id: 897e0490-d306-11e2-8790-1c6f65be627d

i have tried solutions related to scenefilecashe.dll, moving steam back to my C:/ drive, reinstalling directx, updating drivers, and reinstaling steam.

Hidden is totally invisible?

TheSilverDragon116 — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 00:43:56 GMT

Brand new to these forums and surfed everywhere but not found a solution to my problem, so I hope you can help me.

Recently solved an issue that I've been having with mouse lag (It'd been running smoothly for months, ping was fine but the game lagged majorly when I moved the mouse) by clearing out all Source SDK folders and reinstalling Source SDK Base and Source SDK 2006 + 2007. However, whilst trying to solve this beforehand I played around with the console, and I think I've done something to affect the visibility of the Hidden himself, or maybe the textures.

Sure, the Hidden is meant to be invisible, but we're meant to see a "heatwave" effect if he's moving around, and I can't see anything at all. When I become the Hidden, the view is completely clear, and not "wavy" like it's supposed to be.

It might just be a matter of entering a command but I've looked everywhere and I have no clue what it is (if there is one). If you need my laptop's specs for any reason then let me know. Thanks in advance for any advice.
