Half-Life 2 crashed for no reason :( Need help

So i was just going to play some HL2 when the game crashed for no reason and then a weird crash message popped up. I have never encountered this problem before, so help would be apreciated :)

try verifying the game files and see if that will fix the problem.

also post this in the halflife 2 steam discussions, maybe more people will be able to help you.

alright so i veryfied the game files and then it said:

"1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired"

so then i launched hl2 thinking everything is fixed now but it was worse. Now the message was corrupted and i still dont know what to do :(

well this is really weird, try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it

If its a Steam game, then cleaning the Steam cache might help. Otherwise, reinstall from Steam.

It looks like one of the Poison headcrabs is causing the error, bizarre, when does this happen?

Got an error like this with cs before, move the game files to a shorter directory with a shorter name (eg: D:/SteamLibrary) and it should fix it.

Right click it > Properties > Local files > Move install folder

I think you just had a real-life encounter with the G-Man. Your computer is clearly broadcasting some kind of coded transmission beyond the Borderworld.
