Issues fixed
- TweakGuides has created a comprehensive guide for fixing issues in this game. It can be found here.
Game fails to start
Black Screen on startup
Because Steampipe update converted a game to a new format, certain glitches may appear - most common of which is Black Screen on startup.
Fault Module Name: ntdll.dll
There may be multiple reasons that can be causing this error. Below are few possible solutions of this problem.
Crash when exiting the game
Xana speaks German in a Russian version of the game
Game installs AZERTY (French) keyboard layout
- Steam and retail versions of the game install AZERTY (French) keyboard layout that appears on the language bar but can't be deleted with normal means because it doesn't show in Language options.
Graphical issues
Re-install all drivers, if this does not work re-install the game, reformatting or playing on a different computer has been known to fix these issues. A possible last resort: buy a new graphics card, the Nvidia 6xxx series and lower video cards have been know to not work well with the game, lower tier Nvidia 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx series GPUs do not work well with the game. Cards that do work are the 7800 and 7900 7 series cards. the following are 8 series cards that run the game well; the 8800gt, gts, gtx and Ultra variants. the following 9 series cards will run the game fine the 9800GT, GTX, GTX+ and GX2 variants.
Audio: Most issues have been taken care of as of the latest patches, which the Steam version will deliver automatically. View patches for information on updating manually.
Gameplay: all bugs can be fixed by starting from last save (before entering the area where you are having trouble), restarting the level or restarting the game.
Autoexec.cfg does not automatically execute
When playing the singleplayer portion of the game, the game itself does not automatically execute the autoexec.cfg file (a file that holds console commands), but it does for the multiplayer part.
Changing language doesn't take effect (Steam version)
Since the game is using obsolete version of Source engine, the way you set language is by changing the language of Steam itself.
