CS:S Help

[benjo]

Hi all

My Steam had quite a few bugs/errors. So i uninstalled it completely, and reinstalled it.

I installed HL2, and then CS:S. I spent 3 hours updating it, and then i get problems!

Basically, the game fails to reach the main menu. I get the loading screen of CS:S, but as soon as its finished loading, my screen goes black

I have to ctrl+alt+del to get out of this black screen

Any ideas please?

edit: Before anyone suggests, i've already searched on Steam forums

Could be firewall issues. Make sure that your firewall application is letting the correct hl2.exe file access to the internet.

Does the same happen for HL2 / HL2: DM etc?

I'll get back to you when they have though

Ok, after searching the web, i discovered it could related to VIA chipset drivers. I just updated mine. I'm reinstalling CS:S and gonna update it.

Other than that, i dont know whats going on?
