HL2.exe crash Created 16 years ago2008-02-17 21:34:34 UTC by Juror

Hey everyone,

I just had a friggin prob. I made a few modifications in my map that im building and i went to run the map and it comes up with this:

a window came up in windows: AppName: hl2.exe AppVer:0.0.0.0
ModName: datacache.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000b423

Of course i sent an error report but has anyone run into a HL2 crash upon running your maps? All i did was add fire to a gibbed tank and i got nothin. I have removed the fire and it still does it.

Is this a file integrity prob? or something like that?

Need a hand,

Well hey i guess, I'll reply to my own post here.

The problem was an entity. Prior to placing the "fire" entity the map ran just fine. and after that it didn't. Of course my first thought was maybe the program was currupted of somefin, so i refreshed the SDK content, and that didn't work. So i removed all the stuff i did that night, thankfully it wasn't much, and low and behold it friggin worked. Thanks for the 14 people who at least read my post.

Just a note: don't bother sending those error reports. They go to Microsoft, and I doubt they would care that a game crashed.

copy that Ant...it's annoying anyway.

You should always backup your map files every now and then. I, like many others, have learned that the hard way.

WTF?
I wrote that in another thread (can't remember which one)!

EDIT: Oops double post.

actually I had some of the same problems with a few of my maps but all i did was reboot the machine and everything was fine. alot like getting red boxed when you try to clone something. anybody every gotten red boxed. what the heck is that anyway?

but seriously, alot of those hl2.exe problems can be resolved by rebotting your system. I delete my cache files from times to time as this seems to help some problems but those don't crash the system.

this probably didn't help

EDIT: Oops double post.

you mean triple post :))

oups sorry

***** keyboard it doesn't stop !!!!!!!!!!!!
