Hey hijack. No luck on Win2k SP4 here: I don't get the errorlog files anymore with the new dll but steam still crashes. Theres no error msgbox or anything it just disappears as if it was going to launch the game but doesn't. I checked the running processes after and neither steam.exe or hl2.exe is there.

Same for me.....Exactly what the last guy said.....

[hijack]

Damn. I'll have to investigate that more but I can't do that right now.

If you can build the DLL (using Dev-C++), try to change the value of the variable "replaced" on line 179 of hijack_dll.c

case 0xFFEC8B55: // Win2k SP3 && SP4
replaced = 0;
break;

Try some values between 0 and 20 for example. If you find any working value, post it there.

[dracflamloc]

I'll give it a shot hijack. I'll repost with my results. Actually I had already started looking before you posted that =)

[dracflamloc]

Fixed the dll:

case 0xFFEC8B55: // Win2k SP3 && SP4
replaced = 6;
break;

6 was the magic number. Win2k: SP4. Attached is the dll I compiled, enjoy all, thanks hijack.

U need to let Steam do the initial update just after u installed the game from cd/dvd/hdd, when it then asks you to create an account you may quit steam and run hijack_hl2.exe

btw: hijack: it works now, 6 is the magic number indeed

[Kdjn]

I have no programming knowledge whatever.

I feel like Homer Simpson...I keep entering new values, trying the rebuilt .dll, and saying "Doh!"

[Kdjn]

Aye Carramba, man! 6 was the one. Thanks, dudes...

[dracflamloc]

MaHa, system info please. Sorry if you posted that info before. Also a readout of \errorlogs would help.

Way to go dracflamloc, 6 it was, It's now working like a charm (Ignores WiKiD's comments as it's funtioning is proof enough that it's not true). Whew I thought I was gonna have to splurge on a new drive there. My thanks go to Hijack for the nocd fix and dracflamloc for finding that elusive number before the rest of us.

[WhiteWidow]

I have the same Problem with Win2k Sp4 no msg still crash.

[WiKiD]

great work on the patch... works fine for me ( i actually bought the game, thats probably why ppl are getting errors)

you should also put on your desc on gcw that it works for cs source and hl1 source aswell

just to help you out, im running on xp sp2 :P

[Kdjn]

no I bought the game retail....I understand that its Win2k related.
