Dude, many problems, including this one, are written literally in the first post of this topic

no, that isnt on there i checked. (i press start new game and nothing happens) tried redownloading

"The "New game" button doesn't work in the Beta; you can't exactly "play" it like any other game. To run maps, open the console with the Tilde button (~) and write "map *map's name* (they usually start with d1_, d2_ and d3_), e.g. map d1_trainstation_01" -The fourth question of the topic

Just installed all the betas as well as the leaknet launcher, however when trying to launch hl2.exe, I get an engine error saying "Could not load GameUI." Any fixes for this?

Ok, also i cant move my camera up or down which makes it hard to aim- how can this be fixed?

you need to go to mouse settings and enable free look

my method is easier

To each his own. Some will find it more convenient to write the command in the console

[SkelettNinja8000]

freelook isn't even in the settings in beta

But here it’s not

Sorry its mouse look i just got confused because i played my patched hl2 beta that has a lot of new npc codes

[nininik]

what command do i run to give myself the weapons used in the current map?

[VALVe_installer]

There is no such command
