Half Life 2 fails to start

It seems that every time I try to run Half Life 2 it begins to run then crashes despite several installs. What makes this more annoying is that the game used to run on my mac :S

Anyone know what could be wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Hernán

you might want to check out the compatibility db, there is some info there.

This post sounded similar to your problem:

and you might want to try the tips and tricks:

You might also want to mention what version cross over your using (as well as if you're using cross over or cross over games), mac model you have, ram and the video adapter you have in your mac. Other things that might help them might be what things you have tried to solve the problem...

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that's about it.

I'm currently on a Macbook Pro with an ATI Radeon X1600 (256MB) and leopard 10.5.6.
I'm also using Crossover 6.2.1

Thanks again,

Hernán

I've also tried messing with all the launch options without success as per other threads regarding HL2..

have you considered trying 7.2 to see if it works better in that?

I would but am not fond of having to pay for an upgrade of a product I've already paid for..

I did try the latest version of crossover games (trial version) and that was also unsuccessful.
