Update on this... Saul, I tried your suggestion but it didn't have any effect. It sounds like that was sort of expected though since your stacktrace was different than mine. Oh well, worth a shot at least and I appreciate the suggestion.
Andrew, I had actually come across your hack by way of Google when I first started looking into this problem. I didn't immediately jump on it because--like your comments in the code--its a hack. I did however take note that it was there, figuring it would be an option when needed. Well, it turns out it was needed... the hack worked and hl2.exe closes now. Though I can't say for certain it is closing gracefully, most likely not. But now at least I won't have a bunch of testers whining about not being able to launch the mod a second time without encountering a nag about a previous instance already running, lol. Until we find a more appropriate fix, or Valve decides to patch the 2007 SDK again, this will have to work. I highly dislike doing little duct-tape & toothpick hacks like this, but I guess it is the only option at the present time. Thanks again everyone. -Cale On Monday, May 21, 2012, Cale Dunlap wrote: > Great feedback everyone, I appreciate it. It is good to know it isn't just > 218-based mods that have this problem.
