I get this first,i tried a lot of things including veryfing cache,deleting bin and veryfing doesnt work,if i just delete it it asks for launcher.dll.When i copy files from source SDK bin to empires's bin i get black screen and unable to load materials/console background01.vtf.And that file is there.Btw now when i started my pc i get hl2 .exe has stopped working,but how to fix this first ?
if i launch it from directory i get this for .vtf files.If via play button or steam shortcut its hl2.exe has stopped working.Windows XP SP3
Sorry, we don't currently support Empires on Windows XP, the binaries are no longer compatible. I advise upgrading to windows 10 or installing Steam OS.
