Half Life 1 anthology Black screen. - Dr.Rumstain - 10-26-2012

Okay, it worked fine for the first 20 minuets. Then when I decided to switch it to opengl, then the game goes black screen. I went out and back in....there was still a black screen, I deleted every file and re installed the game.........there is still a black screen.........any ideas (this is for every HL1 game, including TFC)?

You're probably better off on Steam/Half Life forums. =\

Yeah, good idea.
Just keeping it open in case someone knows.

Probably means your GPU isn't OpenGL compatible.

Well, switch rendering engines. You said this started happening when you changed it over to OpenGL. Reverting it back to the original (Direct3D maybe?) would solve the issue.
