unfortunately I cannot play Half-Life 2 - Episode 1 anymore, after the first 30-60 Minutes.
None of my Savegames work, always the same Error. Starting a "New Game" ends up in the same Error.
It all began after I left the whole game (I died) and wanted to load the last Savegame, 10-20 minutes later.
I went through the whole "Checklist" for technical help, all requirements are met.
- Windows 7 Professional 64bit (two weeks old installation)
- Intel Core i7-950
- Nvidia GeForce 470
- 6GB RAM
- Running and fully updated Steam
- Unlocked HL2 + EP1 + EP2 (with 1-3 Savegames) + SDKs (because I own the "Steam-Version")
- Selected Models in Character Pimper (the one I want to be changed (HD) + the one I want to be unchanged (standard))

I would be glad, anyone can help. Searching the Internet including this forum did not give any answers.
Thanks and Greetings,
Stan
