HL2, E1, E2 installed and working. I put the 3 folders in sourcemods. Restart steam. Arctic Adventure appears in the list. Source SDK Base is downloaded and installed. Push play on Arctic Adventure - starts to load, black screen, goes back to desktop. Restart steam - same thing happens. What am I missing?

Let's figure it out.
It just crashing on startup without any error?
Worth to try remove 'media' folder from main folder.
Also do sdk set up on beta or not?

Also don't forget about updated system requirements.
We updated the engine with modern shaders, effects so any feedback about performance will be good.

-novid launch option also might be useful.

Let me know if there are any other questions.

I have the same problem as cbolin. My game crashes without any error or warning. It just goes black screen and doesn't even show the menu. I played the demo without any problems. My pc is built with a gtx 1060 and the other parts are from the same grade. I have all the Half-lifes installed + source sdk bases. I really wanna play this mod, can you help ?

I got it, few videocards decline to get FXAA work on Source properly.
Only way to fix this this is manualy disable it.

+r_post_draw_fxaa 0 in launch options
ot just r_post_draw_fxaa 0 in console should fix this.

This happened on GTX 650 but works smooth on modern videocards.

A-Shift's suggestion worked. As a suggestion, your mod took so much work and you want to find as big an audience as possible. Write some simple install instructions and include a README.TXT

I was glad to finally play it, but honestly? A lot of criticism.

The walking and gun style is 'in the face' and like COD.

The plot has no real direction or focus, just random spot after the other.

The Helicopter doesn't even crash, just, you tried, but i expected more.

Well, you tried and better than what I could do, but ehh, not very fun.

Well there is a lot of experementation, i tried to make each chapter unique because the most problem of episode 3 mods is balance with challenges and shooting. Sometimes player dont need to shoot and just explore the location.
Anyway i think Valve had plans to make little group of rebels\soldiers who follow the tank (or something) to storm Weather Control by the old story so i guess this is simillar to original.

Lore and gameplay-wise it's definitely missing a lot.

Elements that i think would be interesting for the plot, Breengrub, non-euclidean Borealis environments, Shu,ulathoi and Combine backstory, Vancegrub, shapeshifting Advisors making for horror and gameplay potential, stuff like that.

I found that sometimes this happen on different PC configuration, in this case it's better to focus on final version (if solutions on Steam discussion about demo not work) because its ported to new engine version, it's stable & many things was remade.

For whatever reason, every time I get shot or hit by headcrabs, my entire screen gets covered by purple checkers. The laser dot on the desert eagle keeps showing up as purple checkers too.

Seems like a shader problem, what videocard do you use?
I'll try to figure this.

everytime I took damage, the screen would flash with the "missing texture" checkerboard, and I mean ANY damage, headcrab, turret, fire, etc
any fix?

same issue here, my GPU is a GTX 650 Cyclone, any damage taken results in missing textures blanketing the whole screen, and the laser sight is just a pink/black checkerboard square

Thats weird, i mean this it seems a shader problem, but all resources is included, not missing.
I tested the build on different PCs but never seen such of problem like that by myself.
Because this is older build, better check the Steam version, it has several patches included and it's standalone.
