HLTV can't start with an error

Open Splatt581 opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

HLTV can't start with error ERROR! System::AddModule: couldn't initialize module (null).

Judging by the logs of launch of previous versions of HLTV, this error occurs when trying to load the Network module.

Win10 x64

I'm having the exact same issue. Funny your thread is only 2 days old lol Is this a recent thing or just a coincidence? I'm hosting a lan party this weekend (haven't done one for 10+ years), and no hltv would be a shame

HLTV broken only in the GoldSrc anniversary update, so you can use the steam_legacy version for your lan party.

Yep, I was surprised this wasn't logged sooner. I was planning to do it myself.

I can confirm it's broken in Windows. I'm also getting *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated when recording an HLTV demo with the new HLDS/HLTV Linux version, which results in Aborted and it quitting HLTV.

I created a copy of the legacy Half-Life folder so I can run HLTV and still have HL25 installed.

@shawns-valve Please note this serious issue - windows build of HLTV does not start after anniversary updates.

bumping this thread and pinging @shawns-valve with hopes of a fix

Some fixes went in for the Windows version of HLTV in the October 2, 2024 Steam update. I don't think the Linux update has gone out yet.

Thanks for fixing HLTV! And thanks for all the other fixes you've done to both the game and the SDK since after the 25th anniversary update

Now, with the new build 10185, HLTV launches correctly:

status
--- HLTV Status ---
Online 00:02, FPS 47.9, Version 10185 (Win32)
Local IP 192.168.0.2:27020, Network In 0.0, Out 0.0, Loss 0.00
Local Slots 128, Spectators 0 (max 0), Proxies 0
Not connected.

So I'm closing the issue.

@shawns-valve You say : Some fixes went in for the Windows version of HLTV in the October 2, 2024 Steam update. I don't think the Linux update has gone out yet.

When will there finally be a bug fix for HLTV for Linux?
