hl2.exe

Now for some reason when i quti the game hl2.exe keeps running using 50% processor along with the overlay.exe which casues me to get the error "this game is currently unavailable please try again" It is easy to solve but JCVD its annoying.

overlay is steam friends, the shift-tab crap. Try verifying your install//delete clientreg blob file, who knows.

Does the same thing on my xp machine, and I believe it started doing it just recently. On that old cpu it grabs like 99%, so it's not like it goes without notice...

Tested on windows 7 and HL2.exe process ends when quti the game so seems to be an XP issue.

I posted on stem forums about this and was told to do this so I suggest we all do it too.

This has happened to me a number of times. XP Pro.
I usually notice it happen when I type quti in console, rather than click quti on the UI.

maybe this will be easier than open task manager.

create a batch file with the following GameOverlayUI should end with hl2 but can take s few seconds so I added it to the file to make sure it does end.

To create a batch file
open notepad
copy and past the above code
save As "kill_hl2.bat"
