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

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

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 :)

My crappy 9600Pro EZ did me proud :D

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....

    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
