    If you are running any third party modifications, they are not coded correctly. I got a lot of these errors working with HL1/AMX Mod X. It could also be a driver error, so check if your drivers are compatible with HL2.

    Try some of these solutions
    steampowered support

    I recommend starting with the Disable System Modifications and troubleshooting steps of the page

    Nope, I use no mods.

    Steam Support told me to change my Dx level, and when i did, the game didnt even start. So that was deffinently not a solution

    Perhaps I'm just blind, but where does it say it's a DirectX error?
