I have been getting this error when starting the Cstrike game Non steam edition. This occurs only while I am using SxE. (Right now I am on 7.6)
Errors like couldn't find 'decals.wad' in "DEFAULTGAME" search path
Another error about gfx.wad when trying to play around with the error.
I see that there are lots of posts on the internet about these errors and people have been trying real hard to get it working. I did too (different sXe versions, cs 23 or other patches, moving the actual file between valve and cstrike folders, etc) but with no avail. However I would like to let you all know that I was able to get the game working on SxE without any crashes after installing Pod Bot 2.5 and by starting the game with PODbot short cut while sXe is running. This step may fix for some of you and allow you to play the game on NON steam or your own server with POD bot.
I tried Pod bot 2.5 from the file front link
Ensure that after Podbot is installed, podbot shortcut points to hl.exe in your Cstrike folder. Ex:
C:\Program Files\Counter-Strike 1.6\hl.exe" -game cstrike
(See my Screenshot)
I use codename rockbala. I suck at the game, but I wanted to let you all folks who have been trying sXe to work, try this way to probably fix the problem.
