I just bought it a few days ago, and whenever I try to launch it, it'll get to the loading screen then Crash. I contacted Steam and they won't help me because this is a Third Party game. They linked me here... So I thought i'd give it a shot.
I've already tried re-installing it and everything.
- I can run Half Life 2, TF2, Portal and all that just fine so my computer can handle it.
- I haven't installed any add ons or other mods.
If somebody could PLEASE help me out that would be great.
Hold on.. can you post the error message? I remember having something similar to this and I messaged Steam about it. I'll post what I replied when they posted a fix.
Edit:
Here's my original question.

This isn't actually a question, but I've been having a weird error with all my multiplayer Source games.
I click "Launch" to begin a game, and it shows the little Steam window that says, "Preparing to Launch *game*."
The window closes, and you expect a game to come up a few seconds later... and instead of a game, I get, "hl2.exe has encountered an error and needs to close."
This only seems to happen on my multiplayer games, such as Garry's Mod, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and a few mods that are on Steam.
Interesting enough, it doesn't happen with Half-Life 2: Lost Coast.
I was able to access my multiplayer games earlier yesterday. I just want a solution so I can play with my friends.

They replied me this, so you should try this first.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
Please exit Steam and go to "C:\Program Files\Steam\" (this is the default location for a Steam installation - if you set a different installation directory, you will need to browse to it).
Delete all of the files in this folder except:
The Steamapps folder and Steam.exe (this file is listed as an application and features the black and white Steam logo)
Restart your computer and test the issue.
If the issue persists, view the following article for further troubleshooting:

I had already fixed the problem by using this solution:
[quote]If you are okay with me e-mailing you back, I fixed this issue by running multiple virus scans on my computer and deleting the malicious files. Thanks for trying anyways :)
