For some reason I can't play half life 2 mods. Yet I can
play regular Half Life2 just fine. Whenever I try to play the mod, the screen
goes black and the music loops. Then it just goes back to the desktop without
an error message. What should I do?

do u have all the sdk content and have you installed and played hl2 on the computer your on atm.

would be nice if we knew which mods.

The mods jail break and zombie panic. Also DoD and CSS will not work either and I do have SDK downloaded. (What does atm mean?)

atm means "at the moment" and I have had a similar problem with zombie panic. However, after making sure my sdk files were all 100% up to date, and fully downloaded it worked again. So, right now, all i could think of is trying to double check that all the SDK content is up-to-date.

Keep us posted.

yeah i would get both the orange box and the source sdk as most mods will need them. If your having problems with official games then it might be more then meets the eye. Disk defrag and a virsus scan + reinstall hl2, both sdk's and a fresh download of both mods including all patches. Then Run hl2 and load a level quite and install the mods.

everything should be hunky dorey after that.

So you mean you do not have any more shortcuts on the desktop? If thats the case just make new ones...
