Could not load library client.

Have you tried running Steam as Administrator?

I tried

didn’t work

when I have appid at 215 it gives me could not load library client error

when its at 218 it just crashes

Yes , same problem for me. I tried your tip , but it didnt help. When im trying to play game , its just kick me , and show ‘’ Could not load Libary Client ‘’…

Please , help. Maybe put in upload your files? I dunno.

YES , ITS SAME THAT I HAVE.

I constantly get “Could not load library client.” . How can I fix? Waiting for 5 years this game …

It looks like some of your files are corrupt.

A few things you could try:

* ( Option A ) * Restart your computer.

* ( Option B ) * Deinstall Black Mesa (make sure the BMS folder does not exist afterwards), then (unzip the game’s archive you downloaded) and re-install it.

* ( Option C ) * Deinstall Black Mesa (make sure the BMS folder does not exist afterwards) and re-download it from another mirror (i.e. CHIP Online DE (German Website) - Black Mesa or Full Games: Black Mesa - GamersHell), then re-install it.

Note: For the official mirrors see: Black Mesa: Source - Download Mirrors


I’ll upload a .zip archive with my “working” .dll files in just a second, please be patient, I’m trying to do my best here.

Thanks for ideas. I will try now the Option A and C , cuz my internet connection is not very fast. I will get back here , with my result. Thanks for ideas. :slight_smile:

I didn’t unzip the 7z file before installing, could that be a problem ?

And I re downloaded it, so I don’t think the data is corrupt.

But still I appreciate at least someone trying to help.

I put the part about unzipping there, because I had to download and unzip a .zip archive myself (from CHIP.de), which then contained the installer .exe and the .7z game archive.

Just writing a small ReadMe for the .zip archive here (just for comfort), then upload it shortly after.

YEAH , IT WORKED FOR ME.

My tip , how i install it. -

1.) Download it from torrent.
2.) Install it. ( I DIDN’T EXTRACT 7z )
3.) Install Source SDK Base 2007.
4.) Play it.


Didnt work?

1.) Go to C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/Sourcemods
2.) Delete ‘‘BMS’’
3.) Install it again , following steps that i write up.
4.) Enjoy your game. ( IT WORKED FOR ME )

same here
i’m losing hope

edit:
whoops i just noticed there was a second page

I will try it now.

Hi 2 all lovers of HL!
I’ve got this problem too and nothing written here could help me!

But I [COLOR=‘Red’]SOLVED this:

  1. Firstly, create folder [u]episodic[/u] in yours source sdk base 2007 directory: \Steam\SteamApps%profile_name%\source sdk base 2007[b]episodic[/b]
  2. Then, create folder [u]bin[/u] in created folder: \Steam\SteamApps%profile_name%\source sdk base 2007\episodic[b]bin[/b]
  3. At last, copy server.dll and client .dll to the last created folder from \Steam\SteamApps%profile_name%\source sdk base 2007\sourcetest\bin, BUT NOT FROM BMS

Good luck & have fun!!! :freeman:

doesn’t work; none of the npcs are there (apart from the ones in the scenery, but i’m assuming those aren’t the actual npc entities), thus making the game unplayable
you can’t even exit the tram

doesn’t work :frowning: game still crashes

If not from BMS, you can upload dlls please?

Yes, I am in the process of doing so. Sorry, I’m a slow writer… :frowning:

You can pick them from \Steam\SteamApps%profile_name%\source sdk base 2007\sourcetest\bin

Although, here there are:

My tutorial worked? :slight_smile:
