    As the topic says, I try to load up Empires and it says "hl2.exe has stopped working"

    This problem only started today and was working yesterday and way before that so.... I have no idea whats going on, I've also tried everything I could think of or do on the forum.

    Halp please? I am also using Vista... lol...

    Edit:

    Half-life 2 starts up and that exe is fine but the source sdk base exe is messed.

    Here is the error that X-fire got, I've tried to start with and without x-fire.

    c:\program files\steam\steamapps\account\source sdk base\hl2.exe

    I'm stumped....

    Reinstalled steam, deleted sourcemods, reinstalled empires... nothing... Even when I try to start up source sdk base hl2.exe crashes....

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I may be forced to uninstall empires if it's gonna stay broken. One of my fav damn games and no one has a fix for it.....

    I don't believe it, no one has a fix? I've searched and searched and got nothing. I've reinstalled multiple times and tried everything I could find on google.

    Fuck this is so fucking stupid! Source sdk base crashes on started.

    CSS crashes on startup.
    DODS crashes on startup.

    Anything using source sdk base crashes on startup. It doesn't even open the game or nothing just says "hl2.exe has crashed"

    Empires is one of my most fav games. if I have to uninstall because a tech support section has no fixes and valve has no fixes ether then this is complete bs.

    If you can wait, you can try the OB version of empires, since it can run on more than one core, and has several bug fixes.

    Anyways this isn't just an empires problem, anything to do with source sdk base crashes. I've tried everrrrryyyy thing to fix it that I could find using google. I'm stumped. I would love help to try and figure this out.

    OB = Orange box, it might work for you, do you have any Orange box games to test it with?
