Problem solved. Problems With Launching Synergy

[ViperStriker]

There seems to be a problem with my copy of the Synergy mod for Half-Life 2.

For the past 2 days now, I've went to launch the game, which I haven't in awhile, and I'll check my friends list and it will inform me that I'm In-Game: Synergy, then Steam quickly quits back to desktop before any window can pop up, and I go back to being online. I've verified my game, defragged the cache, even re-installed Synergy and Half-Life 2, but nothing. I went into my Steam files and tried to force the copy of hl2.exe for Synergy to start, and every time I do, it hl2s. There was an update recently for Synergy, but Joemaster, GhostDragon, and DanHack downloaded it, and they can launch it just fine. I'm thinking that a mod I setup to port with Synergy called the MINERVA: Metastasis mod might've broke something, google it for more details. Anyone know a way I can fix the problem and successfully launch Synergy?

[ViperStriker]

try dx8

I tried launching it using -dxlevel81 and -dxlevel90, still no go.

people still play synergy?

It's actually pretty fun, I made a a few friends on a Synergy server I used to regular and moderate on.

Bump, I still haven't resolved the problem and still have no clue how to. The only thing left would be to completely re-install the Steam platform, but I highly doubt that'd work, and it'd be a nightmare to download all of my games again.

Did you contact steam support

Did you contact steam support

I could, after combing the Steam Powered Forums, I found nothing, but I'll give em a call or an e-mail. Maybe try and e-mail the creator of the mod.

Move your Steamapps folder to your desktop.
Windows Key + R
appwiz.cpl
Uninstall Steam from there (this is an important step)
Restart
Download & reinstall Steam
Copy Steamapps folder back
Login

Sometimes Source games won't launch properly due to the Steam Service not loading correctly when you boot, which could be caused by a number of things. This isn't a fix-all, but it makes more sense than DX-related issues.

I've got a bad feeling that I'd fuck this up in some way, shape, or form. Good thing TeamViewer is fully updated!

Sigh... let me get on TS.

For those who come here via Google, launch the game with
-resetmounts
Then
-autoconfig
Make sure to remove them when you're done.
