Turn right go down the ladder. Look for a switch on one of the pipes. You'll know what to do next.

stand next to one of em exploding barrels and shoot away :yes:

haha, behind you should be some stairs that go up to some small buildings that lead up to nova prospekt.  Turn around, and go to your left, there should be a way around you.

What are you talking about :huh:

At that part, I used the rockets to shoot down those helicopter type things and it blew a hole through the side of the building (to the right of that picture there was a big gas tank or something there) Enter and continue.

I may decide to reformat (mainly since I haven't done one in over 7 months).  Would I run into any problems dealing with the activation?  Or should I just wait after I reformat and then install the game?

BTW a little offtopic, I know ATI has an app that completely removes its Catalyst drivers before installing a newer version.  Does Nvidia have a similar tool?

no activation problems it will all be done through an account on steam, you simply need to log back on.

and as for removing drivers. just get driver cleaner 3. google that and it will bring you to their web sight. best thing for removing drivers.

half life 2.. this is way fun.. way way fun. its almost like painkiller.. with a gravitron gun... which is way fun... has anyone figured out how to surf across the sand on "sandtraps" its so awesome... use a wodden platform and a metal platform.

I surfed for about 2 seconds on sandtraps.

You need to get two platforms, at put them on top of each other. but only half way.

you stand on the top one, and lift up the bottom one. The dotted lines are crates or metal. the flat line is the ground. the p= is the grav gun obviously. the ~~ is for effect.

|p=~~

its at the end of sandtraps... when they inform you that touching the sand is bad... then you get to the area with the docks and all the items.. you just get a wooden flat box thign and then one of those blue peices of metal.. use the grav gun to hold the blue metal underneath the wooden thign you are standing on then jsut move your crosshair in the direction you want to move.. sort of.. I would do screens but its all the way at the end of sandtraps.. i have already played that level.. it would take a long time to pass again.. is ther some way to load certain points in hl2 useing the console? useing the new game doesnt work.

I was stuck here for ages. You have to shoot down a chooper (or two) with the rockets. It took me a while to figure out, that you can guide the rockets with the laser *after you have fired the rocket*...... nobody told me that. Or maybe they did and I wasn't listening.

:unsure:

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
