 | Portal First Slice - Crashes anyone??Has anyone played this game on Steam, or had any crashes when it tries to run? Everytime I try to run it, I get an error 'HL2.exe has encountered an error and will close' I can run Half Life 2 ok, but Portal won't. I've read loads on the Steam forums and it seems it's something to do with Windows WMI. Apparently the only way to fix it is to re-install Windows. Seems a bit extreme, and only started happening after a Steam update. Anyone else had this problem? |

| Re: Portal First Slice - Crashes anyone??Did your steam client update the game with the latest patch? have you tried uninstalling portal completely and then reinstalling it via Steam? Let me know  im curious, and I think reinstalling windows is a bit extreme! |

| Re: Portal First Slice - Crashes anyone??I did actually manage to fix the WMI enough to get Portal running. There are still some WMI errors, but they don't seem to be causing any other problems so far. You can read what I done on here, the last post; [Central topic] Orange box Games DOESNT LAUNCH ! - Page 13 - Steam Users Forums |
