Engine Error
Platform Error:module failed to initialize

WHAT DO I DO?!?


I also get tht error from CS:S =s Earlier i was getting it with another error which was hl2.exe
Now i fixed the ''hl2.exe'' error by putting all this in the proprieties of the shortcut : ''
-autoconfig -nocrashdialog -window +mat_forcehardwaresync 0 -dx level 90 ''

I read all 5 pages before and i saw tht u were able to solve ppl's problem with ur knowledge
If you need any info about my comp, just post it =s I know im kinda in the wrong forums and all but, i looked up everywhere on steam and all and still ... i get tht Engine error =(

Hope you can help me.

Edit: Btw i would like to know like, if my drivers and updates (all computer ) is all up-to-date :P and also......

I observe tht if i right-click on my steam icon (bottom right) it appears a window with stuff like friends,servers and all, well when i click on one of thoses, it doesnt open me anything.. normally if i click on friends i would get the wondow friends but it doesnt... and also when i go : STEAM window ( i can still get on this window by clicking on my desktop the steam icon) < My games < right-click CS:S < properties < updates < view cs:s update history. It doesnt show up anything again >.> I found it weird...

I really hope you will see this topic ( even if its 1 year old xD ) and hope u will be able to help me out Thx again

Edit2: Just to add u more stuff about my problem

I can still play Cs1.6 with my other account, i cant run aswell SDK source base program (on my cs:s account), gives me the same problems as cs:s.

I did in the past, dl'ed driver cleaner pro and it messed up abit my comp but i sent it to repair it but still, there might be some missing stuff. I dont use hacks at all hmm...

I bought cs:s on the internet at 19.95$ yesterday, dl'ed it and i got thoses 2 errors.

I tried almost everything u said in the 5 previous pages of this topic.. and thts about it O_O

Hope u can see my topic BlindNero
