So i tried playing team fortress 2 and i got the black screen again. And since those games weren't working i thought i would play Half-Life 2. I got to hear the valve opening sound but that's it. I still got the black screen. I decided to play minecraft but it turned out being WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to slow. I mean it was atleast 12-14.

When I first installed steam a few years ago it was to install Counter-Strike. Then when I bought Half-Life 2 I made a mistake and installed steam again in a different location. A Forum Thread for Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2 / Threads / Customization. Simple question. Hi guys, after the compiling process, the game run for some seconds, then, the screen fade to black, permanently. I just want to know if anyone can give me the hint to. Thanks a lot guys!:) Strange though. I honestly thought I'd just hit a glitch 'cause there was no definitive 'end' to the credits, it just went through the names of all involved without stating specific roles, and for memory it was just the people from Valve - I'm sure there must have been some outside contractors for production etc., yet they weren't credited so I thought the game.

Half Life setup
Open the Half Life directory by right-clicking Half Life in Steam -> Properties -> Local files -> Browse game files…
- Launch hl.exe as many times as you need.
- GoldSrc Engine games will usually not let you launch more than one instance. In Universal Split Screen, alt-tab into Half Life so the window is selected, then click ‘Unlock Source engine for a new instance’
Go to Options -> Mouse. Set Raw mouse input to disabled. Set Joystick to enabled if you are using a controller. (If you are using a controller, make sure to also enable
Hook XInput
in Universal Split Screen).On the first instance, use the server browser to find a server (Find a server without Valve Anti Cheat, just in case). Right-click -> View server info. Copy the IP Address.
In all instances, at the main menu, use the ` (tilde) key to open the console. This key is usually above the tab key.
Type
connect IP
and click Submit, replacing IP with the IP you copied, e.g.connect 123.456.789.123
- You should now be connected to the same game.
Tips before you start
If you have inconsistent mouse movement, especially when moving multiple mice, make sure the polling rates on your mice are set as low as possible. You can usually set this in your mouse configuration program (look on the manufacturer’s website).
Disable steam overlay by right-clicking Half Life in Steam -> Properties and un-check ‘Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game’
If you want to start and stop split screen, you should restart all instances of the game or it will start to slow down significantly.
