Posted August 4, 200519 yr Whenever I try to start up Half life 2 or Source it gives me a message saying "Video - safe mode fallback" Failed to set video mode - falling back to safe mode settings. Game will now restart with the new video settings. I restart it and it does it again. Any help?
August 4, 200519 yr IT'S MOST LIKELY THAT YOU HAVE A VIDEO DRIVER INSTALLED THAT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE VERSION OF YOUR GAME. IF YOU USE NVIDIA, YOU CAN CHECK ON THE STEAM WEBSITE ASKING THE SAME QUESTION ON THEIR SEARCH OPTION. YOU WILL FIND A LINK TO NVIDIA WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO DOWNLOAD AN EARLIER VERSION OF THEIR DRIVERS WHICH ARE COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR GAME. HOPE IT HELPS
