The stutering problem (although a few our after, many legit player a reporting it not working.)

For the nod out of date problem, read this thread completly. there's varied way of getting rid of it. I'm to lazy to explain it once again.

It's possible however that getting rid of the nod problem doesn't unfreeze mossman. If that happens, try setting your computer date before 15 november, and try again. That's what worked for me.

PostPosted: Thu, 25th Nov 2004 17:43    Post subject: cannot start game
Damn it - I finally managed to sit down yesterday to install the game and can't get it to run - I just reread this entire thread to find a solution but alas, there was only one other person with the same problem it seems (mnemonic).

So, I unrared the first emporio release and then mounted the iso with daemon tools 3.46. Then I copied over all files to my hd. But when I click launcher.exe I get the error message "couldn't find steam.dll and if I click hl2.exe I get the error message "couldn't find studio.dll" (both not exact file names, something similar). I checked the hl2 dir and saw that there is a steam.dll file but renamed to steam.dll.bak. When I deleted the .bak part I get a different error message (can't remember which one, will post again once I'm home)...

I tried this on a PC without internet connection and win 98. I tried it with the mounted version and with the copied version. I tried installing the Ape fix, repack fix, RVL fix and HUD fix. But these fixes do not fix the problem of not being able to run the game at all Sad

Mnemonic solved it by using daemon tools to copy over the files from the emporio iso (had used isobuster before) but I used daemon tools straight away...

Can anyone help me? Maybe I should uninstall Daemon Tools? Is it Win98? Should I have used the newest Daemon Tools version?

Valve released a steam patch for the freezing problem. Dunno if it works at all, and dunno if anyone have or plan to release this patch in no-steam format.


The Mossman freezing or the stuttering problem? Cause not matter what I try I cannot stop this node out of date shit and still have Mossman get in the elevator. Evil or Very Mad Evil or Very Mad

i used EMPORiO PROPER+HUD FIX-admenistrator and autoexec thats all. mossman i passed this way: stood real close to her when she talks near elevator and when her speech ended she got in all good. Stay close to her on her left side lol.

Okay, just mounted the iso with DT 3.47: when accessing the mounted iso and trying to run hl2.exe I get: "Unable to load filesystem_stdio.dll". And if I run launcher.exe I get: "Connection To Steam Servers Lost. Could Not Acquire Necessary Game Files". Again, Win98, no Internet connection, emporio original release, no crack applied.

I can vouch for that, got both aXpI and Valve retail myself - and aXpI is better.

unpack it with winrar. make all the files "not" read only. install the ape fix (client.dll) and run it with the shortcut not the exe.

Tried again and it works - very strange. Still have DT running but used the newest version. Got the AI error now but I'll use the HUD and RVL fixes for that Wink

Is it true that textures from the emporio original release are missing?

Hey, do you guys no how to select the start up 3D menu that loads? When HL2 is very first loading it displays a different pic (3D sceen) than before and would like to know what files they are so I can use the one I want. I know it changes as you get further into the game but thought I could just start a new game then reload and it would display the very first Menu pic but that didn't happen.
Thanks

Open config.cfg in your hl2/cfg directory and look for the line sv_unlockedchapters "6".

Change the number to whatever level you want to see.
