Wraith Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 How do I fix this? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StateCop Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Well this happened to me when I was trying to copy my old files over. Here is the best way to do this.....Do a fresh install.....then just move over your map files, config file, and all your custom stuff.BTW you would get this message even if you were not using steam from time to time when you tried to restore your files. Get the full install file for 2.8 the do the above. That will be the easiest and is the most full proof way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potatoe_Cannon Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 The moving files method didn't work for me, everytime I tried to open a game it would close the firearms window right after it opened. So I installed firearms 2.8 directly to the half-life folder in steam/steamapps/*email*, and then also in my SIERRA/Half-Life folder. I didn't have to move anything and it worked great.

Wraith Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Great. Your method worked fine for me, StateCop. Now if only somebody else would get on the server so I can play. *sniffle* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BountyHunter Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sorry for necroposting, but it's exactly my issue. I've asked for help some of the Senior Stuff (in PMs), but either they didn't read my message or couldn't respond. Let's make it clear: I DON"T BLAME THEM I got (rather) serious steam problem. Brief: 1. My system crashed COMPLETELY yesterday. When I restarted WIN XP (due to high ping on your server) I got the message that one of the sys files is missing and I should start the operation of restoring the system. It didn't work. 2. I got the mirror (is it the right word?) of my C drive from ghost. It was old, though, so I needed to install HL i FA. I followed the instructions put in the topic: MAC's STEAM HELP 2. I could run FA but couldn't join any server. Reason: Your cl_dlls/client.dlls differs from the servers. 3. I couldn't follow the instruction of the topic: STEAM INSTALL TUTORIAL (For Dummies). Reason: broken links. 4. I run the program made by Mazor (see topic: MAZOR's STEAM TUTORIAL (Try here first)). It didn't work. 5. I followed the instructions of the following topics: Your cl_dlls/client.dlls differs from the servers; client.dll; HALFLIFE-Platinum error Fix (my case; it didn't work completely- steam didn't ask me for the CD Key!!!!?); and Born to Die's suggestion put in: STEAM FIXES- ONLY POST HERE WITH FIXES TO PROBLEMS topic. None of those advices help. 6. In the meantime I reinstalled HL (twice). I followed Mac's instructions of MAC's STEAM HELP 2 topic, again. When I reinstalled it for the second time I did install FA 2.8 and then 2.9 (just in case). It didn't work. 7. I remember that Gator's tutorial worked in my case previously, but I can't find it now. I suppose I don't need to add how many times I cursed during those 6-7 hours.... in all languages I know.... My wife threated that she would permaban me from any computer activity Could you just repost Gator's tutorial, please? Or do you have any other ideas how to solve this issue?

Wraith Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 I believe this issue is addressed on the main page of the http://www.firearmsmod.com website- there's a patch for 2.9 that you'd need to dl and unzip into a certain folder, I forget which. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
