Half-Life 2 - Nintendo Switch Questions & Answers

Has anyone else attempted launching hl2 on their switch? I've once managed to see to valve intro with sound but it crashed shortly before reaching any menus. I've reinstalled it and now it no longer crashes and I can hear the valve intro sounds but I receive this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Before getting this error I have attempted to use gltools without any obvious success.

Have not tried HL2 specifically, but Portal has been running very well for me. Also—I have the same error message pop up when the main menu loads in Portal, *but* it has no effect on gameplay, the game, menu and levels still load just fine.
I'll download HL2 and give that a try to see if I can get it to work.
Edit: One issue I do have even with Portal running well otherwise is that there are black bars on the right side and bottom of the screen. I think it has something to do with the nav bars, but it still happens even if I hide the nav bar.

Could you try Borderlands 2 and borderlands the pre sequel?

Borderlands 2 gets a license validation failure when starting, I of course already bought it many years ago, I guess their server is offline

I bought Tomb Raider and have the same issue. Are there ways to get it working by circumventing the license check? Not sure if we're allowed to discuss that here, but I mean I just want to play something I legitimately paid for...

Where can I buy the games to try them out? It doesn't show any of them on the play store for me. If I go through google it says the games aren't compatible

If you installed shieldfier and still says incompatible you can install a magisk module called "_something_ a road to vendor apps" can't recall the full name.

Thanks I'll have a look. I have installed shieldfier and have the nvidia games app but for some reason it just closes every time I try to open it.

Hmm it's not showing for me on the store. If i find it through google it says the app isn't compatible with my device anymore. I installed the shieldifier.zip again and still the same problems

​
Yea having the same issue with metal gear rising. I guess someone will have to find a work around. I tried to use lucky patcher but could get anything to work. If someone could try it also that would be great.

so... no luck? what is shieldfier? what about the module?

shieldfier is a flashable zip so your switch will be identified as nvidia shield.
It is in the first post of (Unofficial) Android release
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ni...opment/rom-switchroot-lineageos-15-1-t3951389

So I bought HL2 Portal and Metal Gear Rising on my Switch via Google Play Store. If I use app screen resize to force resolution to 1920x1120 everything works perfect docked or in portable mode for HL2 and Portal. No matter what I try I cannot get my legal Metal Gear Rising to validate with Nvidia after it logs into the correct Google Play account. I read an app called Lucky Patcher can help but I don't know how to use it...

Question to people who have played HL2 and Portal on the Switch: is it possible to aim using motion controls (gyro aiming)?
And, by the way, did anybody manage to make Metal Gear Rising work?

I don't think the gyro works, because the game was developed to be used with the Nvidia Shield Controller, not Joy-Cons. Got to Ravenholm, but not having true analog on the Joy-Cons is a little frustrating.
I had the same verification problems with Metal Gear Solid 3 HD. Tried a bunch of stuff with Lucky Patcher, but no luck

When you send a maps link to your phone, it just sends whatever is in your address bar, which is probably just maps.google.com if you're getting a blank map on your phone.
Click the "Link" button in the top right corner, copy the link in the box, paste into a new tab, THEN click send to phone, and voilà!

Is there anyway to push directions directly to the Maps App or does everything have to be opened in the phone browser?
Thanks!
should automatically do that when you check Launch browser/maps directly on the app on your device

It doesn't There for you have to use the alternate method
If you prefer Firefox, here is the link to that version instead
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161940/
I'll just post this encase other people run into this problem. If you are copying and pasting the maps link make sure you are using maps.google.com I tried it with google.com/maps and the copy past link wouldn't work.
Hope this helps!
That's fabulous, thanks for the heads-up! Is this the extension and app from google itself? why is it then so rudimentary compared to the keynote demo?
Is it me, or are the notifications for this permanatly on full blast?

Potentially, I believe so, but you would need to write something up. Not sure what all commands are allowed from the cloud API

If you use pauls method of copying the link to your browser It should already do that, as long as you checked that box in the app on the phone, that allows you to do so

Is everyone's SGS2 doing this, or just mine? It seems like a fairly major bug if it affects everyone.
Bump. Can someone else please test with google goggles or my tracks, see if you have the same problem as me.
Already posted that My Tracks has an uploading problem .
jje
same problem here with goggles.. saving just hangs..
Can confirm same - my tracks, and d7 google reader affected. also heard of google analytics being the same..

It's not just my tracks, this bug could potentially affect hundreds of apps. I've already found several that produce the same result. My Tracks, Google Goggles, Andlytics, Noom and CardioTrainer.
Question anyone tried latest firmware update in this regard . KE2
jje
Youtube has a similar issue for me (as does Goggles).
I'm on KE2 and had it in KE1 as well but never checked on KDD. Sim free retail GS II.
Youtube says this when I try to upload a video:
Code:
Failed to retreive account information
Edit*
Fixed the Youtube issue by signing out of Google from Youtube and signing in with my Youtube username.
Confirmed. Goggles hangs while enabling history. Signing in to YouTube was a hassle, but eventually it worked. Don't know how though.
Yes I have updated to the latest firmware and it didn't make any difference. I guess it's not affecting enough apps to really cause a problem for most people, but as a developer I used Andlytics quite a bit on my old phone, I now wish I had waited for the HTC sensation instead of the SGS2.

Same here on KE2.
Using KXWE1 and noticed same problem with D7 Reader. Any way to notify Samsung about this.
Anyone know which company to inform about this? Is it a google problem och Samsung problem?
Seems like its google...There is even an issue up on my tracks forum. Can't post links but its issue nr 255 on the my tracks code page.
Same here with the hanging on saving on goggles
same problem here with mytracks.
My Google Goggles hang on the "saving" issue got fixed after I uninstalled and reinstalled from Market. The previous install of Goggles had been restored from Titanium Backup from my HD2.
So probably not so much of a Samsung/Google issue.
There's an update for Tracks and Maps, have any of you tried to see if the problem's fixed?
Just tried updating and uploading. Same result, stuck at authenticating to google maps.
So its a no fix. Samsung Galaxy S II
Just spotted this on Google Support .

Firstly yes, My Tracks is no longer able to upload directly. the functionality was turned off a few days ago...
But the import SHOULD work. Alas it is occasionally broken like this. the only consolation I can offer is its probably not your fault. And you just have to wait.
The alternative, is instead upload your KML file to fusion tables. Can plot a map from fusion tables. Dont get it in My Maps, of course, but you get a map.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Actully Google just released a update to My Tracks - I got the notification yesterday
They now upload to Fusion Tables. From there can import to Google Maps.
Recommend continugin this on the My Tracks forum
http://groups.google.com/group/mytracks
As to Fusion Tables and SGS 2 .
Still same problem .

Same issue here.

N app compability list

Hey all. I thought I'd start a thread where we can track what apps are not working for N. This aims to help us both using N, to have a place to track, and those who potentially want to use it, but may be hesitant due to app compability.
I will update the thread once daily. This will only list apps that AREN'T working in some fashion.

Adding that the Toggl app doesn't work with N. I would also add that the Facebook app is very unstable and crashes frequently.

There is already a thread like this in the themes and apps thread. I do agree that it should be in general though. There is more talk about android N in the general section.

Hotspot not working here either.
Also can confirm TWC TV is not working well, as stated it crashes every time upon clicking "Live TV." Google Messenger does force close galore for me as well.
Another one not working for me is the not very popular Salesforce1 app. It just constantly flashes the opening splash screen and never loads the actual app.
Instagram does work for me, although along with most of my other apps it flashes up warning messages about libraries upon opening it.
Not sure if its just me but Netflix just shows a black screen but plays audio. It was working when I first flash the preview but it stopped working recently.

Feed quality is terrible with no setting to select better quality feed. Hide scores keeps defaulting to OFF every time you launch. Think I'll stick with Kodi til they get these issues sorted.
It takes like 30secs longer to "buffer up" .. compared to the phone/tablet app.

Has anyone had luck with this on an AirTV Player box? I've got it installed, navigation works great, upcoming preseason games are displayed on the schedule... but when I attempt to watch a video the app crashes and I'm taken back to the Android TV home page. Would love to have this for the start of the season but I'm guessing the AirTV Player is the limiting factor here.

Just wanted to say... Tried this today and it works fantastic. Thank you so much.

Only recurring issue, Hide scores does not stick and gets toggled off everytime.

I just set up a Nvidia shield and didn’t know about the limited google store. I subscribe to Rogers NHL and get it on all my other devices but with this NHL app, everthing works but when I go to watch a game, it asks for my name and pw and says I have the wrong credentials. There is a place in the app where Rogers customers are directed to go to sign in on the Rogers site so I go there and when I choose to watch a game, it redirects me back the NHL app where I just came from and it starts all over again. I think it’s close to working but I’m stuck now and was looking for some pointers. Thank you.
Edit: I transferred the NHL apk from my working x96 box and installed it but it works the same as any unmodified app and won’t open.
I have the same issue. I'm a Rogers customer and it won't accept my credentials
The updated modded version in OP's link immediately crashes. I am wondering if it's because it's v1.0.0 and possibly out of date?
The current version is 1.2.2
Can anyone modify this one to remove the amazon app store requirements or explain how it's done?

The way I check updates, is by pulling up the desktop version of amazon . Search for the app. Scroll down and there should be latest update date listed.

The NHL app is officially supported on the Shield now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhl.gc1112.free&hl=en&rdid=com.nhl.gc1112.free
NHL.tv is now officially available on Android TV, so you don't have to use a modified Fire TV version.
You can get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhl.gc1112.free
Or just go to the play store on the Shield and type in NHL.
I just installed it and it works great. Identical to the fire tv version.

Wow, that's funny timing. The day after I go chasing down a solution to get the amazon NHL app on my shield, they finally decide to release an official app. Works great though!

[SOLVED] Amazon/Alexa Apps SSL certificate Error

Hello
Hello, i'm facing some issues with the following apps:
Amazon App: "please check internet connection and try again."
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This occurs when I want to login, after I put in my login details.
Alexa App:
"Certificate error. Please update Google chrome."
This one after opening the app.
New XDA Forum App:
And this one when I want to look at forum thread.
I checked my time settings, wiped cache in recovery and wiped app data of chrome/webview. I also deleted chrome with magisk debloat and installed it again via play store.
Anyone knows how to fix this? In chrome I have no issues, everything working in the browser. I'm rooted on the latest oxygen 11 11.0.2.2.
Thank you.

Do you have adaway running? Others have been saying this is related to the webserver in adaway. I turned that off and this seems to have gone away for me.

I turned the integrated webserver in adaway off and now everything is working as it should.
Thanks for your own followup. Saved me some search time ! I tried installing both certificates the "new" adaway app proposes but to no avail so I also just stoped the webserver (which never caused such issues before the "new" adaway)

Amazon app error when web server enabled (5.0.10) · Issue #2266 · AdAway/AdAway

Seems we can reanable and just whitelist amazon a'd xda
Thank you, this did it for me as well. I searched google and ddg for a couple hours with no luck finding the suggestion of turning off the integrated web server. Alexa nagged me about Chrome needing it's certificate updated, Amazon shopping just kept on saying an error had occurred. A little more verbosity from the programmers when an error occurs would be nice.

I was resigned to the fact it just wouldn't work.
I turned off Adaway ad blocking and the Alexa app works
Absolutely sick and tired of Amazon.
The amount of money that guy makes from people buying from Amazon and he wants adverts to be forced or things don't work.
He reminds me of the bad guy from Ready Player One.
A complete douche kebab.
PS: yea the fix is to disable adaway, but I pray someone finds a way round that.
I absolutely loathe ads.
If anyone is curious, you don't have to turn the integrated web server off to use Amazon. Just add *amazon* to the Allowed list, hit apply and reboot.
