[Erectus Maximus]

Okay so Everytime I try to go into The Hidden Source I get This Msg "unable to load c:\Programfiles\steam\steamapps\My profile Name\Source SDK base\Filesystem.dll

I have tried everything
-Uninstalling the game
-Restarting steam
-Restarting my computer
-deleting the file
-Renaming it
-EVERYTHING IN THE BOOKS

I am at the brink of giving up on this and I really want to play The Hidden with my Buddies
the problem started 1 day ago and the game worked the day before.
So yeah HAS ANYONE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM I DON`T WANT TO BE ALONE.

I don't know what SDK Base Hidden runs on but I suggest you launch the base game at least once. I'm guessing its on Source SDK Base 2006 so make sure you've started that game at least once.

I did Still same problem I start the game I get that same MSG :< does anyone else have this problem?

[＃gbn.scart]

Could you paste the gameinfo.txt located in the folder for the mod?

il try

//
// The code that loads this file automatically does a few things here:

// 1. For each "Game" search path, it adds a "GameBin" path, in <dir>\bin
// 2. For each "Game" search path, it adds another "Game" path in front of it with _<langage> at the end.
// For example: c:\hl2\cstrike on a french machine would get a c:\hl2\cstrike_french path added to it.
// 3. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "MOD".
// 4. For the first "Game" search path, it adds a search path called "DEFAULT_WRITE_PATH".
//

//
// Search paths are relative to the base directory, which is where hl2.exe is found.
//
// |gameinfo_path| points at the directory where gameinfo.txt is.
// We always want to mount that directory relative to gameinfo.txt, so

Odd. Everything should work if Source SDK Base 2006 is installed correctly and launched once.

[Erectus Maximus]

:< Wait idk If I launched source before I played the mod....

[Erectus Maximus]

I got the same problem
I just uninstalled the SDK Base 2006 and started The Hidden Source, then i could play one match after that, i got the Steam Validation Rejected error :/. Deleted the blob file then the same error with the SDK file appeared.
