Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life 2 / June 2006hl2.exe error on Episode 1
I am getting an error message when loading Episode 1 that states "hl2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". When I click on details, it states an Error Signature with AppName:hl2.exe and ModName:datacache.dll I am able to play Lost Coast and the full version of HL2, but this error message only happens when loading Episode One. I can't play the game! Is there a fix for this?

I have to change my display back to 1024 x 768 after the game loads, but it's a small price to play to be able to finally play the game!

Are there any other graphics effects sacrificed, in this particular game, by shifting down to DX 8.1? Just curious. |
