[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread

Anyone seen any other people with problems with textures? It's really spoiling the game.

I'm running on XP sp2 Radeon 9500 pro. Athlon 2800XP+, 1gb Ram. latest cat drivers.

Messed up fingers

More messed Fingers

Screwed textures

More screwed textures

See through wall

Textures stretch to infinity on cross hair

Not me luna. maybe your drivers. Im using an ATI card (9800) with the latest drivers and no corruption at all. At least none I noticed

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

i had that same problem with 2 previous 9700 Pro's wiht UT2k4, its not the game

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 :)

Is it just me or is Alyx sticking her tongue out to me:

It was just a badly timed 'in the middle of a speech' screenshot :)

I was just wondering about how long it took for those of you who downloaded Half Life 2. I think that mine will complete in about 3 hours total time. :ninja:

[mDagar]

I thnk it was around 3to5 I just started it then left the house.... So I'm not exactly sure :)

[jtchange]

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:

[Sn1p3t]

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

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

[YBG]

Man, I'm in the "We don't go to Ravenholm" chapter..it is really something

[SumoHamster]

I think it took 3 1/2 hours for me to get it. It took longer to get all offline content, however.

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:

[Vice]

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 :)

[YBG]

Has anyone seen the GMan in Ravenholm? I thought I did but I'm not sure if it's him..

[qdave]

i was lucky enough to buy dvd. was too lazy to d/l it.

[Rogue`]

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....

[Ritalin]

Finally done with the game... what an awesome experience!

[Xtreme $niper]

Well since it uploaded in Phases i"d say 3-5 hours or so... Because it never really downloaded for long periods of time. Pretty high speed (i preloaded it pretty early on)

[Elliot B.]

I have the retail DVD.

[ANova]

Took me around 4-5 hours. Not bad for 4 GB.

[curme]

Everything was working fine, then BAM! artifacts.

What could cause this?

Is my monitor dying?

My temps are fine.

[davemania]

I don't think its your monitor, it either your video card dying or corrupt file.
