Opposing Force Crash

Technology and Gaming Help and Support

Hello,
I have a Problem with Opposing Force. Everytime when i want to enter the room where Gordon is teleporting to Xen, my Game crashes and i can do nothing (luckily i have 2 monitors so i can kill the HL.exe in TaskManager). It just happes when I push the button for the door.
I have tried to reinstall it but thath doesnt helped. I have tried to noclip in the room (without pushing the door button), but everytime I enter the room from another site, the game crashes again. So I cant get to the Teleporter for the next map. When I want to skip the Map (“map x” in console) I have no weapons. I hope you can help me and sorry for my bad english, im from German^^.

Change your video mode, that may help.

I’ve had the same problem bugging me the last couple of years, never bothered to fix it though.

#4

it’s a well known bug. you have to avoid looking at the teleporter, try to enter the room backwards in noclip

#5

didn’t helped, sry…
tried all 3 Renderers, 1280x1024 and 1024x786, at 16 or 32Bit

I’m sorry, but that is one AWESOME workaround :smiley:

#8

oh that bug, that’s been known of since the age of dinosaurs. Valve updated it I believe and since then it crashes at that moment

#9

I thought they fixed this glitch almost three years ago?

#10

I just played through Opposing Force and had no problems whatsoever.

#11

Me, too. I’ve never heard of this bug. But as ManlyStump said that workaround is awesome. :smiley:

#12

Shall have to try that workaround, was getting frustrated at it crashing constantly.

#13

or just download the standalone non steam version with the original menus like in WON hl

I have blueshift, opforce and hl with one standalone folder.
