Black Mesa closes during very first loading screen

I bought Black Mesa and when the main screen is loading (very first! no saves yet) it closes out, but it is still open, I tried installing and uninstalling. I didn’t work, please fix this, I have a Windows 10, Intel core duo. I got it off of steam, if unfixable, will get refund. ;( ;( ;(

OS: Windows 10
CPU: Intel Core duo

Where are your other PC system specifications?

You probably have a DirextX installed, so do the following: DirectX DXdiag
Then post the specs here in the thread.

As for the issue you described, i am not sure what you mean.
So the game is loading the first level, and then it minimizes down,
and you can’t bring it back up?

The fix for Windows 10 is to Enable Borderless Fullscreen Mode

Go to Black Mesa’s “Properties” and then “Set launch options.”
Enter “-windowed -noborder” without the quotation marks.

Same thing as above just described a little differently.
Right click the game in your steam games list.
Click properties.
Under the general tab, click “Set Launch options”
Copy paste this:
-windowed -noborder

If the above does not fix it here are some more things to try

Restart your computer.

some other things to try

and Here is another thing to try if none of the above fixes the issue

  1. Verify your game cache once.
  2. Launch the game with -autoconfig launch option for the first time after verifying cache.

    After a successful launch remove -autoconfig from the launch options.
