Resolved - Day of Defeat launch Problems


Question

Posted

Name: Travis Brown

Rank: Retired

Type of issue: Day of defeat wont launch

Brief Description of Issue: It was getting an error before, something along the lines of it wont launch, please try again later. I reinstalled it, now it launches, but nothing comes up. On my steam friends, it says I'am in game, but nothing comes up, no errors or anything :(.

Now it is saying "This game is currently unavailable please try again another time" which is what it said in the beginning.

Step one is to restart your computer. Too many people leave their computers on 24/7, for whatever reason.

Re install DODS.

Test it. If it does not work, close Day of Defeat Source via the task manager (hl2.exe, if I remember correctly).

Update all drivers, including DirectX, Visual C++, etc.

Test DODS. If it does not work, close Day of Defeat Source via the task manager.

Close Steam if you haven't already.

Navigate to your steam folder via My Computer, and rename the clientregistry.blob to something like "clientregistryOld.blob".

Restart steam, and test DODS.

Verify your game cache (right click the game in the library, click properties, then local files, then "verify game cache".

Test DODS.

Open the launch options (right click in library, click properties, then launch options) and type "-autoexec" (Without quotes).

Test DODS.

Note; this should reset all client-side settings to those found in the autoexec file in your DODS folder.

K I have done all of this except for the verifying cache, when I try and do that it gets up to 12% and then stops. I've left it on for hours and come back and it is still hate 12% :(.

Heres my suggestion.

Go into your steam folder...

local disk > program files > steam > steamapps > common

Check for any Day of Defeat Source folder. Delete that.

then go into local disk > program files > steam > steamapps > youraccname

Check for any Day of Defeat Source folder. Delete that.

Bascially, track down and delete any DOD:S files.

If you use Steam to uninstall, it does not do a complete delete of the game files. Do a manual delete.

Then, go into Steam settings, into the Downloads + Cloud tab.

Go into download region area, and change the location to another nearby but less busy download server. Sometimes the downloads will be missing files and such.

Reinstall.

After you reinstall DOD:S. Don't run it. First, go into library and verify game cache before doing so.

----

If all else fails... back up any custom content for any game you want to keep. Then entirely delete steam and go with a fresh reinstall.

    • jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection.
