I didn't think there still existed people who haven't played/beaten half-life 1 yet.  :unsure:

584955211[/snapback]

I haven't beaten it, only because I find the game boring as hell. I also don't like Counter-Strike, if that means anything.

Just beaten it, I presume all will be explained in the third game. All in all, Im still definately impressed by the game, but I think Ill cheat and try and get that blue grav gun from the start ;)

im at the portal. how do i destroy the portal the game ends before i can destroy it. what do i do

584955863[/snapback]

Ignore the ships as much as you can, stand to the left of the portal, suck a light ball, then fire it at the portal to destroy the spinning wall.

You need to do it quite quickly.

Oh, and um... spoilers.

Here is a good page that sums up the current answers from Valve and some possible solutions - link

well if the vampire game has the problem it's a deep engine problem and valve's responsable for fixing it if they want to keep selling the source engine

Lingwo thanks for that information!

And my Appoligies to FudgeMonkey if I messed some stuff up for you :)

584956263[/snapback]

no worries fella. It's not your fault i don't have the game yet i just wanted to make sure no one else had the same experience as me as the whole PC games forum is full of HL2 posts and i understand how much work this must be causing the mods. I just don't want to have to leave Neowin alone until I have the game, although i think i spy another thread that's a contender :(

Whenever I attempt to change a map in HL2 thru the console, I get

"Disconnected from Server" message.

Im not even in a MP, wtf?

Command I use:

map <map name>

Any ideas on what 2 do? I really wanna try out that blue Physics Gun.

Yeah, it disconnects you from the local server and reconnects you in the new map. Just use the commands a few posts up and youll get the gun, believe me, it works.

    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
