this is not a problem with the game, its your drivers or your card, or maybe directx version. its already been answered in the steam forums its your PC

It's the card? In what way? Broken card? Not powerful enough? Seems to work on all my other games including new ones like Pacific Assault (Demo).

I'm going to try it in Windows 2000 again. I'll see if it still happening there.

I never had a single gfx glitch like that when I played.. definately a driver issue or something!

Some nice high res pics I took here btw if people wanna see - shouldn't be any spoilers or anything :)

I preloaded as I went along, so I can't say how long it took me :D

yeh, i was hoping to do something similar, download overnight...but my dad kept trying to avoid doing it, so i had to wait until late this morning  :angry:

You just got it this morning? Or was there a new patch released? *Refreshes Steam*

ha, no need to refresh, i just got it this morning :pinch:

but again in a sense, it's early because it's a Christmas present, so I'm happy that I'm getting it now...now only 10 minutes left on my download of hl2, so if no replies then that's the reason :shifty:

4 hours it took to download HL2 and then an extra hour to download CS : Source and then a little while longer to download the SDK and after I downloaded the SDK my problms with starting HL2 went away (the memory could not be read to error) and I could start playing :)

Bought it on DVD as soon as i could, with me not having a Credit Card, was the only option :p other than use someone else's...but hey :p....

Although if i had used someone's credit card, id prolly been able to get the Silver package....cost me ?35....think its only ?26 for the bronze on Steam....oh wel:):)

Maybe (if they do it) will get someone to let me use it on an upgrade so i can get DoD:S and HL::):) bloody loved HL....

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      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.
