Close hl2.exe after hl2dm crash and rejoin (Safe, useful and fast)

Hi all, sometimes when hl2dm crashs the hl2.exe in task mangers says its using 50% cpu and you fill a big system slow down.

I've made a fix to save time and get you back ingame fasty without going in task manger.

This is a small .bat file script that kills hl2.exe and kills GameOverlayUI.exe then starts up hl2dm again, just by double clicking the .bat file (place the .bat file on desktop)

Copy this code in notepad select "save as" then "save as type" choose "All file" and save the flie name as "kill_hl2_then_run.bat"

Save on desktop to open and find easily

Code:
tskill hl2
tskill GameOverlayUI
START C:\Progra~1\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 320


Added in Attachment if you don't want to make it. Wink

Has been tested, hope you find this useful as I do.

Nice work, good idea Smile

Not meaning to hijack this thread, it's all yours, but I learnt another trick yesterday which I think a lot of you guys will need now and then.

Quote:
Right-click on the Desktop and choose New | Shortcut from the pop-up menu. Browse to the file C:\Windows\ System32\Shutdown.exe, click Next, name the shortcut, and click Finish. Now right-click on the new shortcut and choose Properties. In the Target box, append the command line switch -l (to log off), -s (to shut down), or -r (to reboot).

If you also add the switch –t xx (where xx is a number of seconds), Shutdown.exe will display a warning and count down the specified number of seconds before activating.


Immensely handy when downloading stuff while you are out of the house and want to spare electricity.

A 64bits OS then replace:
C:\Progra~1\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 320
To
D:\Progra~2\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 320
