Allen Swarm?

Who's Allen?

Seriously, we called it that all night at the LAN party. It made for some lulsy situations.

"OH GOD, I GOT ALLEN ALL OVER ME, AND HE'S PISSED"

Playing on a Minecraft creative server and talking on Skype with 3 other friends, and we were building a pyramid. Eventually, I ask "Hey, wanna play Alien Swarm after we finish this?"
"Yea!" Were pretty much all the replies.
After we finish, we begin to load up the game. Everyone joins, and we begin to play on Hard.
We get stuck on the second to last mission (as we lost a person mid-game) and got someone else in. Then the finial mission. Our total death count rises, in the opposite direction of our sanity and patience.
Eventually, we complete it... 5 hours later. 5 hours straight. That's longer then most of the times I play games in one sitting. One of us forgot to eat.

Leaks and error message's aren't the issue. It's that hammer doesn't ever open a Command window to compile.

I've been trying to compile a map for two days now, but when I press F9 to open the compile window and click "OK" the Run Map window closes and nothing happens/appears. No command window, no error message, no nothing.

In all my searching and asking it seems I'm the only one to have this problem. I've tried verifying both the SDK and Alien Swarm, running the original Source SDK and refreshing the content, restarting Steam and my computer. Nothing works.

Click the tick-box to wait for a key-press to finish and you should be able to see the error before it closes.

I've tried that too, Didn't work.

You have vista or windows 7? Cuz the cmd window probablly needs To run as adminstator

I'm using Windows XP

Did you drag it off the screen?

I did that one time...

It never opened at all.

:(

Find the online website and see what your computer is missing to handle.
I forgot what it was.

I've played Alien Swarm before, it's just that it doesn't load now.

Did you make any graphic changes?

Did you make any graphic changes?

Nope. Everything's stayed the same.

Well, I changed my speaker settings a tiny bit.
And turned the captions on.
