Can't launch Half Life 2: Episode Two

[Armx-[KoRn]Pimp]

I get a "Engine Error Model models/props_17/Awning002a.mdl not found and models/error.mdl coudln't be loaded" when I click to on Episode Two on title screen. Done multiple runs of verify game files despite downloading atleast 4 different files each time.. Game still doesn't work.

Since I don't have Episode 1 on the account, the game breaks after credits of Half Life 2 if it's restarted. There's engine error that says "No permission to launch 'episodic'". Episode 1 launches, but there is no background and none of game's BSP files load up.

The base game now includes the episodes, I think you don't need to have had it previously purchased to be able to play it now, but looks like it doesn't always work properly. Have you tried verifying the game files?

Each time 10 files fail to validate. This repeats every single time the game files are validated.

Find Lost Coast in Extras menu, or in Tools list. Episode 2 is accessible from mentioned list, or from main menu.

Just chiming in, I'm having the same awning002a.mdl error and also the same ten files failing to verify each time.

Put in a help ticket. This is a licensing issue. I had a similar issue. Support gave me a link to add the licenses in with my old copy of HL2, since I didn't have Episodes 1 and 2. That should resolve this.

Same. I reinstalled and the issues persist. I just can't run the game at all.
