Counter Strike 1.6 crashes as soon as its started...

[kidpikoon]

Hey,

I have original Counter strike in Steam...
My counter strike 1.6 is not working from many days...
I even tried reinstalling it...

Counter strike source and CZ work perfectly...

When I start 1.6, I can see the Blue Counter Strike background for 2-3 secs and then the game closes...
I never reach the menu...

What could be the problem???

Try deleting the Clientregistry.blob file in your Steam directory.

^ Tried, didnt help...

 

[jc36lect3r]

Open Steam. Counter strike > properties > local files > verify integrity of game cache

That does not help either...

Actually it was working fine till I installed a downloaded copy of CS 1.6 so that I could play with my Friends...

After installing the non-steam one, my Original steam one stopped working !!!

Just uninstall the non steam one.

In Steam check the Integrity of files.

Restart steam and try running now..

Even I had this issue. But got sorted out.

that does not seem to be the issue even i have both original and a non steam version both work without any issues , i have faced issues with non steam version never with steam version so far.

Same for me, never faced any issues with non steam and steam both installed.

Solution:

Steam\Steamapps\(Username)\Counter-Strike

Delete the Counter-Strike folder, launch the game, let Steam create it again.
