ERROR: hl2.exe has stopped working

[EN4CER]

I encountered this very same issue. Have you right clicked the shortcut
within steam and played with compatibility? Of course you are running it as
an administrator? When does the error pop up? During loading, after loading,
at the menu, etc.

I ended up re-creating this problem and got around it by clicking the 'wait
for program to respond' option.

Yeah, start a new thread, and try to explain the problem and include your
