[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

i bought through steam, but doubt you do if you did a full install, but who knows

Quick question to all those people playing at the moment.  As you have to authenticate with Valve, do you still need to have the DVD in the drive to play it?

hm i'm stuck at the part with all the water and pipes lol - i've turned the valve on, and the area is now flooded (the one with two rooms and those flying things tried to attack me) now where do i go?

screenshot available if my description was crap lol

Wow this game is awesome....no scratch that...BEYOND awesome.

Very well done... I have noticed gliches in it...NOT COMPLAINING..it's gotta be the 4.12b drivers or a slight problem with the MILES sound codec...hallways are a problem with rear speaker crackling. Audigy driver people HELLO!!

But as I'm sure, ATI drivers seem to mess with SB sound cards, they will fix :p

I'd post a screenshot...but

Nothing but good comments all round.. what I like to hear.

I can't WAIT to get home for this.. only.. er.. 7 hours to go!!

Further to my comments in Chat regarding my lack of completion in preloading...

Well, I'm done preloading and unlocking for over an hour now but I can't bring myself to play it :alien: :pinch:

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
