Now the OB (Orange Box) edition has completely revamped the way it works by getting Steam's blessing. Previously Synergy was loaded onto a dedicated server and customised versions of the maps were made with those considerations in mind. It's interesting to see what map makes do with models and Synergy has been out for several years now this is just the first time that the COOP system itself has been so tightly integrated with the game. No joy.The people who create the servers can either play through the storyline with parameters they set or set custom maps which add all sorts of interesting dynamics. And I have tried running steam as an administrator. It seems to be behaving similar to Synergy in that when it is started, the screen briefly flashes white then goes back to the desktop.Īlso, his account is an administrator account. This is getting to be a huge headache.Įdit: I just wanted to add that on my brother's user account, virtually every other steam game works fine (HL2, EP1, EP2, Just Cause 2) except Synergy. If anyone has an idea, PLEASE let me know. Why would a user account make any difference? I have tried EVERYTHING that I can think of or find on the internet, but to no avail.Īnd the fact that it does work on the Luke user account really throws me a curve ball. WTF is going on here? I have uninstalled Half-Life 2, Synergy, even Steam itself. Synergy doesn't work under the Cody user account, but it does work under the Luke user account. So in other words, there are 2 user accounts on his computer. I'm referring to the actual Windows user account. Incredulously, I have found that if I log into my Windows 7 user account on his computer and try running Synergy, it works! And to be clear, Steam is still logging into his account. I checked task manager, and hl2.exe isn't running or anything like that.
The problem is that whenever he tries to run a Half-Life 2 mod called Synergy (a co-op mod), the screen flashes white and then nothing happens.
I installed all of the most-recent drivers, and everything seems to be working great. Intel i7 2700K 8 GB DDR3 RAM GTX 5 RPM HDD Windows 7 64 bit Here's the story: I built my brother a brand new computer.
