+Mystic MVC Posted November 25, 2004 MVC Share Posted November 25, 2004 wow Cyrilix your rig runs the game? I didn't think HL2 would even support anything under 1ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koocha Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Sorry I meant disable all features for the sound card so it sounds like a normal soundcard and it's fine put everything back to normal again and everything is quiet even talking...I have the Audigy2 ZS Platimum Pro soundcard... and all was working fine until I install HL2... 584985623[/snapback] So how do I do that then?

Lexcyn Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Thank u for speaking for the minority. i was worried Hl2 would become godlike 584983669[/snapback] But it is godlike lol. Well, maybe not godlike, but it is popular. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mystic MVC Posted November 25, 2004 MVC Share Posted November 25, 2004 From my current specs. and what I've heard and seen in other posts a 1.8ghz should do fine (some guy said he had the game running on PIII@800mhz). Just wondering from your guys knowledge what the exact number of CPU power the game is going to need. How well do you guys think the gameplay would go; high on 800x600 or medium on 1024x768 with AA only to 4x? Once I'm able to purchase 2 sticks of 256mb in December, it would boost me up to 768 but I'm wondering how high would I be able to set AA and AF with the game on 800x800 or even 1024x768 with 768 megs of RDRAM. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhaygood86 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 The game runs on a 1 GHz Celeron, Integrated Intel Graphics, and 128 MB of RAM..... just at 4 fpm from my own tests. 1 GHz Celeron, Geforce 2 MX 400 PCI 64 MB RAM, 512 MB SDRAM.... about 5 fps. 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV, Geforce 2 MX 400 PCI 64 MB RAM, 256 MB DDR RAM, about 15 fps. 3.06 GHz Mobile Pentium IV with HT, Geforce FX Go5200 AGP 4X 64 MB RAM, 512 MB DDR RAM, about 55 fps. First 2 at 800X600, Low Detail Graphics Last at 1024X768, Medium Detail Graphics, No AntiAliasing or anything else. I might try it with Anti-Aliasing and see how that goes...

Inplode Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 only troubles i have is a little snagging when it loads a new section of the game but other than nothing and im running x2 AA i might drop that and see if that fixes that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRiM Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 add -heapsize 256000 to your launch options. If you have a gig of ram add 512000, you want the number to be half your ram. Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers. I heard that you can add -cl_smooth 0 to you launch options to. 584973878[/snapback] Do you put the -heapsize 256000 in one of the CFG files, or just in the command line when starting the game?

itianuk Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 i ran it on my P4 3.0GHz and my brothers Athlon XP 2700 2.2Ghz and they ran perfect, it ran better than Doom 3 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankyone Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 it runs ok with my -AMD Duron 850MHz -GeForce 2 MX400 64Mb (latest official drivers) -Integrated Audio -Minimum Setting @ 800x600 - 384MB RAM ;) i get about 35FPS and 25 when there is some action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexcyn Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I found that with the new patch, if you add -preload or -heapsize, it causes a LOT of studdering. :/ lol I turned it off and it worked fine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaic Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I finnished the game on Duron 650mhz and 320mb ram with GeForce2GTS 32ddr the game runs fine p.s I played with 800x600 and everything set to medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodel Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I know I have been patched because the mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware command exists, but my sound stuttering is exactly the same, no better or worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_joel Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I had a few audio stuttering problems but thats about it...... has anyone beat the game yet and if so did u find the game short like i did? :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.MULLA Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 game runs absolutely fine on a 1.8ghz system.. plenty of grunt to play the game.. i easily get over 100fps and around 80 on my system.. :D - yes i know i'm a show off.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptain chump Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 my stuttering isnt AS bad, but tis still there. i think it has something to do with my lack of ram (256 ddr YUK) because wheneverit stutters, its usually accessing my harddrive trying to read something thats coming up aroud th corner. stuttering has definately gone down about 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~clean Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Mine was not that bad in the begining ... now this has made alot of combat near impossable. stuttering so bad :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varsity Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Yeah, that's getting a little low. If running the game at min detail fixes the problem you haven't got THE stuttering problem, just low memory. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentNewbury Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Hiya all, I didn't get any "patch" I don't think. To get rid of the problem I just used the latest nVidia Beta Drivers and the Latest Audidgy2 dirvers (not beta). I have 1GB DDR RAM and a nVidia GeForce 6800 GT; just for reference. I'm also running the game at the maximum detail possible. Hope this helps :D - Tranq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue` Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 You wont know u got the update unless u seen the Steam icon change to its update icon OR u looked at the Steam monitor...i mean it was only somat like a mb or under.... On topic though, mine is allot better, and it wasnt really that bad to begin with, so its very small now :) Im sure it will be totaly fixed in a week or two :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKDarkJedi Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 11/25/04 01:41:22 AM GMT The patch for the majority of the Half-Life 2 stuttering problems is available via Steam. Quit and reload Steam to receive this update. Please let me know how well this works for you as I will forward this feedback to Valve. I will follow up with my own thoughts after I've tested this out. It's out people... now go patch, reload steam and kill the network again! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
