Resolved - DOD:S wont start

[Acton]

After starting up it crashes right away. says my hl2.exe has stopped working. Do i just re install?

[T. Brown 1st MRB]

I just discovered mine does the same. Researching it, will let you know when I fix it : )

You can always start with verifying the game cache

[Gardner2]

having the same issue as well. http://www.1stmarineraiders.com/index.php?showtopic=20507

I've done verification, defrag, deleted the local folder, none of which worked.

I'm in the process of reinstalling the game after uninstalling it, will let you know if that works for me.

*edit* update a complete uninstall and reinstall does not fix it, so dont waste your time lol

Anyone who has not shut down their DOD:S (basically leaving it open while alt-tabbed out) can still play, meaning it was an update problem. I have been told it was an attempt to fix the last update, but since they know they fucked shit up, they are on top of it, so only a matter of time before it's all groovy. Soon as I know a thing, I'll post it here, but I don't have some SUPER secret access to information, just a friend who works at Valve and can relay stuff back to me (even though he's not at all involved with DOD:S). It's sporad, but he said he'd let me know if anything important happens, and I'll pass it right on.

Patience, it appears, will be practiced tonight. May the dark have mercy on our souls.

ps: it very well might be fixed before I know about it, so don't wait on me; keep trying.

Rumour now has it that the massive crash was cause by SSgt.T.Brown while he was eating Chedder Cheese Chips and watching crab cake enthusiast Porn, while being alt tabbed in DoD:s, this cause a massive surge through the DoD:s community causing the patches to glitch and erase all DoD:s material in horror.

Hopefully he washes his hands first........

On another note:

Thanks for the update Brown!!! Hopefully they fix this soon!!!! Then we can hopefully close Acton's and my tickets for this issue!!

lol

FUUUUUUUUCK this shit just happened to me as well. I just updated my video drivers recently, but apparently that's not the problem?

Goddammit I need my DODs fix, I'm jones'in hard.

I am having the same issue. Let me know if anyone finds a way to fix it. it was good this morning but after the update it did not work.

Day 2 of no DOD:S

No new update yet. TF2, DOD:S, and HL2:DM are all crashing and/or perpetually verifying game cache without ever actually doing anything. All these of these games were the ones affected by the latest update (in particular an issue with the sound emitter crashing).

Have not figured out a way around it, nor can I find anyone who has.

Rations are running thin. There are rumors that people have started resorted to playing CS:S but that is just a rumor so no need to be panic...yet. Oh, there is also rampant cannibalism in England but that's normal this time of year.

Godspeed.

[Cevasco]

i knew it would come to this. Slowly being killed by our inability to play DOD:S. If any of you wish to live i hear the only cure is a WW2 reenactment.

[Vatsia]

they updated it and game is working

[Magoo]

All mods seem to be working too.

They have not fixed the film grain / wire / splash texture errors yet though.

However, the appropriate temporary solutions to those are available in the following topics;

Purple screens after death

Purple power lines

Workarounds are not fixes... Hopefully the next batch of TF2 hats will fix the problem.
