CTD is not likely b/c of 'hacks', unless you are referring to malware.

Post system specs.

make sure drivers are up to date.

Do a system scan (virus/adware/spyware).

Do other Steam games work?
Do other HL based mods work?
Does HL work?
What do you mean 'change the game to NS'?
Has this always happened?
is it a new occurrence?



Basicly.

give us some actual information to work with.

and a as a quick note, the word it 'the' not 'da'

ech, with everything else working, I guess I would suggest reinstalling NS (preferably from a different download)

eskilo

Do you have another computer somewhere (at a friends' house for example) that you can try it on, to make sure you're doing the install correctly?

eskilo

no and not exactly

its says i dont have steam <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Thansal

wait.

You start NS via what?
and then get an error message?

or do you switch to NS via steam and then just get a CTD?

if you are starting NS from a different location and and get that error message then you probably have it installed in the wrong place.

um, grab a legal copy of HL, install steam, and run everything that way.

<oh the irony>

NS needs a steam install of Half-Life 1 to work properly. If you can't afford that then I'm afraid you can't play NS.

Sorry.
