I got that problem, I just turned off steam and cleared out my HL1 folder and redid that install thing.. I forgot what its called but it worked.Hakariaki said:Goddamnit. steam just raped my HL again... even when i have the auto uppdate and steam cloud turned off in properties.
I pressed to start msc and steam instaltly forced some short uppdate. after that uppdate were complete (about 10sec) i get 2 error messages showing up, being unable to start the game.
window 1."hl.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
"The procedure entry point_AIL_stream_sample_handle@4 could not be located in the dynamic link library mss32.dll."
Window 2. "Fatal Error"
"could not load hw.dll. Please try at a later time."
Anyone else had this problem aswell? Curse the damn steam uppdates
I had the exact same problem (Steam decided to update Half-Life despite my settings) but deleting all files & subfolders ('cept the \msc\ subfolder) and extracting Madman's old Half-Life install again fixed it.Hakariaki said::steam:
Well, they seem to build up over time - usually the thing is good to go out of the starting window. ...And the damn game does keep its texture memory from map to map, for some damn reason (going from Nightmare Thornlands to Edana will provide a quick demonstration of this). So, I figured, if we started with a clean slate on each map change, it'd be less apt to overflow into other areas of the texture memory space over time, or whatever it is they be doing.FreshMeat said:How would dumping the texture memory help fix graphical issues?

Code:Was not possible to locate point of entry of the procedure _RIB_Alloc_provider_handle@4 on the DLL (dynamic-link library) mss32.dll.
You get it when you start the game and when you join a server.
But anyways if you just press ok to get past the errors it works fine, here's the link:

EDIT: I found a fix for the mss32.dll problem, after you backup your folders, delete everything but your mod folders, and then install the patch and it should fully downgrade without any problems.
That video was awesome! Now it makes me feel sad knowing that I may forever be rolling back my HL1 until I stop playing it...MS:C community said:
