Issues fixed

Black and purple textures and giant red models

See Missing models or textures.
Frequently featured contents come from just a bunch of other Source engine based games (Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two).

Game crashes at title screen

Use the +connect 1:1 command line argument[citation needed]

Notes

When the game opens, it will take you to a Connecting to Server screen. After a few seconds it should dissappear and take you to the title screen. It will then freeze for a few seconds, then function normally.
Sometimes you may need to press Alt+Tab then go back into the game for this to work.

Hosting a listen server

Start listen server[citation needed]
To host a server while playing, one must be able to forward ports and enter a console command.
  1. Forward the ports 27015 and 27005
  2. Enter sv_lan 0 in the console
  3. Press "Play Multiplayer" and select a map
  4. Others should now be able to join

Notes

In order for your server to show up on the server list, you must change sv_region to a value corresponding to your region.

Could not load library client (Linux)

Additional Libraries[citation needed]
  • Install the appropiate lib32 gconf package (libgconf-2-4:i386 for debian-based systems, libgconf-2.i386 for rpm-based distros, and lib32-gconf on the AUR for arch users).

Game changes microphone gain at launch

Modify configuration file[1]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Open config.cfg.
  3. Find the line voice_mixer_volume, it should be near the bottom of the file. If the line doesn't exist you may create it.
  4. Set the value to whatever you prefer your mic volume to be, I set mine to .5 which translates to 50% gain.

Notes

Removing the line does not work.
This will set a fixed value, and might not be a solution for people who are using dynamic gain which Windows (or other applications) automatically adjusts.
Disable exclusive control of microphone (Windows)[2]
  1. Right click on the speaker icon located at the tray bar.
  2. Select Recording devices.
  3. Double click on your microphone in the newly opened window.
  4. Go to Advanced and untick Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device.

Notes

Most applications ignores this, and many users are reporting that it isn't working.

Console commands

  3. Select the Keyboard tab
  4. Click the Advanced button
  5. Check the box next to Enable developer console (~)

Notes

Press ~ to open the console.
Some commands may first require you enabling sv_cheats. You can do so with sv_cheats 1.
Many servers will not allow you to play with cheats enabled, or will disable them upon entering the server.
Users without a US keyboard could experience some problems.

Command line arguments
