thankins Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Just leave it on what it sets it to, cept turn Trilinear filtering down to Bilinear, and keep to 800x600 i reckon. Still looks awesome.P.s them spinny blade flying things are awesome, little buggers! 584931509[/snapback] I have my 9600 xt and I have my setting on high for everthing and it runs very smoothly.... and it runs at 1024 x 768. Just crank it up and see what happens! I tried turning on the AA to 2x and it get a little lag. I left the Trlinear the same and didnt put it on Bilinear.

thankins Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I love the game, been playing a few hours. The water scooter is AWESOME, I loved that chapter. :drool: 584932056[/snapback] LOL When I got to that part I saved it like 5 times in different areas so my friends could see it in action!

JimmyT Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Valve officially said that 2 versions will be in shops; # Standard Edition ? Half-Life 2 ? Counter-Strike: Source ? Ships on six CDs, in one of three box-art packages (Gordon, Alyx or the G-Man) and # Collector's Edition ? Half-Life 2 ? Counter-Strike: Source ? Half-Life 1: Source ? a Half-Life 2 T-shirt ? a Prima book sampler ? Ships on a single DVD. This seems not to be the case. I've only found the game on single DVD, containing CS Source and HL2 only, no box-art package, no manual. Does the US version have a manual on the box-art package? or just the 6 CDs? I guess the retail version requires activation. Is the activation similar to windows XP activation? Do I need to activate once on installation, or do I need to be online every time I start the game?

Dashel Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Don't use emulation. Have you tried just sharing the drive on your sis's PC over the network? I do have to wonder though..Why in the hell did you buy the DVD version if you don't have a DVD drive. Seems like a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzla Veteran Posted November 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2004 If what I've read is correct they're not selling the Collectors edition here. The only version they're offering is the one you described which is just the game on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalizar Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 i like all of them but you dont make all the colors with no text.... i would probably use every single one of them if you didnt have that writing.... idk i think it just makes the whole thing look bad.
