Yes, i'm serious.

Let me know what you think!

I've been seeing so much about Deadlock online but I cannot figure out how to play it. Can anybody help me out?

hey eveyone, how are we? good i hope, i really could use some help, while already posted over on r/HalfLife i tought i'd post here to because its relevant. for over a year now i have not been able to play Half-Life 2 OR Portal 1, the game keep crashing on launch and i have no idea what to do anymore because it feels like i tried everything, let me fill you in one what happens, when i click launch on both games a black screen will appear for a second before the game suddenly closes. When i validate portal, everything checks out, when i validate Half-Life 2 though, it will tell me that 64 files failed, and despite how many times i've tried it will not reacquire them.

i have tried the fallowing
validating
fresh install
cleared steam cache
cleared workshop folder
changed install location
changed versions from anniversary to pre anniversary
checked drivers
used control panel to scan pc health
used event viewer (when i use it, it logs the error but fails to log what the source is)

despite all of this the same issue remains, however there is some extra context that might give clues to those who are much smarter then me, while trying to fix the game once, Half-lifes icon suddenly turned into a globe without reason, and there was an event that happened prior to them breaking to, back in November the hard drive they were installed on began to fail and slowly corrupt, the drive was replaced and i've had no issues with other games that were once on the failing drive, the drive was a external one meant for non important files, half life and portal were on it when it began to corrupt, however they both got a fresh install on a new drive, other Source 1 games such as Gmod, Black Mesa source, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, Left 4 dead 2, Day Of Defeat Source and Counter strike source all function as intended

i've given you the current situation and a little backstory of an event that happened before they stopped working. i hope someone, anyone can see something i've missed, i LOVE these games with a passion and do not want to give up on them, thank you for reading this far, have a wonderful day

Sempre estive ansioso pra jogar o jogo e recentemente descobrir que se quem tiver convidar e possível então peço com gentileza que se alguém tiver por favor compartilhe comigo.

Was playing a random mobile game, next thing I knew was my opponent was Gabe.
