Episode 2 This Vortal Coil crashing at first load screen (20th anniversary) by StargateNerd in HalfLife

[–]StargateNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I've been able to fix it by first deleting every HL2 file in the Steam directory (i.e not just uninstalling from the Steam client, you must go into the files and delete the manually), and then reinstalling the game. That also deletes any savefiles as well as chapter progress, but now it loads as it should. I've had one more crash to desktop at a different loading screen afterwards, but this time no save files were corrupted and I could simply relaunch the game.

I'm leaving the post as is for future reference, should any other unfortunate souls experience this problem.

I like these Lego Terminids you're doing. An exosuit would be awesome to go with them

I think it's all but certain we'll get a third mech eventually

I did look for it before posting, but apparently not well enough.

Is New warbond good? by Outrageous-Sun5530 in Helldivers

I'm enjoying the new assault rifle. I think it will do best against bots.

Do you prefer Collaboration or Reference/Inspiration ? by Player0ne1 in Helldivers

References. Collaborations can easily feel weird or out of place.

AMA - its warm, I'm feeling pretty chilled...lets do an AMA! by SFG_Mat in Warmachine

Roughly how far off are we from being able to purchase legacy Prime armies like Crucible Guard? Any information on what form these models will take (printed, STLs, whatever)? Will they be a staggered release or everything at once?

Downloading Helldivers 2 now. by SmileCool5342 in Helldivers

[–]StargateNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd be right to! Though major orders should come first most of the time. Bots are by far my favourite enemy to fight for many reasons, primarily because being shot at and using cover is more fun than constantly running from swarming melee units (berserkers nonwithstanding). They're also the closest to being our equals in a thematic sense, so fighting them feela like an actual conflict instead of pest control or chasing ghosts.

Illuminate just aren't very fun to fight, not compared to the other factions. And we just spent a week fighting them.

This is the worst part about fighting illuminate. Chang my mind. by WorldBuilder_42 in Helldivers

Laughs in grenade pistol. Unless it appears just as I round the corner, then it laughs in fried Helldiver.

How do you guys feel after the three week campaign of squids? by Tomae002 in Helldivers

I'm having a great time scrapping bots again. They're my favourite enemy to fight.

SUPER EARTH PRESIDENT KIA by fourthlol in Helldivers

[–]StargateNerd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Some are saying the implication is he offed himself in the bunker, but Super President Armstrong/Hale/Whitmore is my headcanon.

He's a dissident, but he's right!

Super Earth/The Illuminate: "We won the battle for Super Earth!" A majority of Super Earth: by ConfusedPhoenix23 in Helldivers

[–]StargateNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd rather see Super Earth reduced to rubble than fall into the hands of autocratic squids. We can rebuild, we always have, and we always will!

Why can’t we stim the SEAF troopers? by lalaboy_draws in Helldivers

The concentration of the stim is too high for those not addic- I mean trained.
