dougkinzinger Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 It didn't work for me; I've tried combinations of everything suggested thus far....bloody heck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkinzer Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I have had this problem, but only when the game stutters as well. Time for a fresh install of Windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverUnknown Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 i'm trying to add something to the launch command for hl2 but i'm exactly sure how. do i put -heapsize 512000 or heapsize 512000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ootput Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Bugs? My experience has been bug-free thus far.... Runs flawlessly 584941637[/snapback] That's fortunate. I'm getting the same stuttering problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjmUK Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 shoot it with your grav gun 584941269[/snapback] Thanks it worked :) (didn't even think of that). Well, it's now 6am (3 hrs later) and I've entered the level "Sandtraps"...I have no idea how many more levels there are. But this game is getting good :D * think I'll go to beddy byes now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatCat Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 OK the stuttering seems to have stopped, or is very rare and unoticable with that cfg trick. I've also made a new file called autoexec.cfg to my C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\yk890\half-life 2\hl2\cfg the stuff in the autoexec file is: cl_forcepreload "1" sv_forcepreload "1" cl_smooth "0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjmUK Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I keep hearing about this nice gun, any pics and/or details on what it does exactly...I'm guessing just an upgrade from the standard Orange Gravity Gun <-- but I have no idea because I haven't finished it yet :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4esh Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Well, basically I am amazed at the experince HL2 is delevering me, but I dont have a nice graphics card that I would like to have (X700 coming in early next week) so I am going to stop progressing thru at this time. HOWEVER -- In the E3 Demo, I LOVED that Blue Physics/Gravity Gun, the one where he lifted the dead person up and so fourth, tossed him around and such.I heard that you can aqquire this wepaon at the end of the game, but do to reasons stated above I dont want to soil the experince. Is there anyway I and others can get this nifty tool BEFORE I reach the end? Im not sure which it is, if it is the "weapon_physgun" or "weapon_physcannon" but none of them bring it to my wepaon list, only the Oranged Beam Manipulator or whatever its technically called. Any insight on getting the blue gravity gun before reaching the endis greatly appericated!

ForeverUnknown Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 also try snd_mixahead "0.5" in the autoconfig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vertigosity Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've had this problem with both HL2 and CS:S since the day CSS was "released" - although my video card (a radeon 9600 non-pro) seems to be able to handle the video (getting 30-60 FPS @ 800x600) it sound-stutters like crazy on sound-heavy places like de_aztec or the G-Man opener to HL2. I dropped to 640x480 and it seemed to fix that... I don't think it's the sound chipset - had the same issues with my onboard CMI 9xxx, a hardware accelerated CS4600 card, a SB-Live Emu10k card, and an old Ensoniq 1370. Yeah, I thought it was my onboard sound chipset, got desperate and started yanking people's cards :-P And yeah, if anyone has a definite way to fix that, that'd be great, because I'd love to run the game at 800x600 so I don't feel like a complete ass in a room full of people with brand-new video cards going "OMG U SUXORS WE ALL DO 1600x1200 @ 200fps WTF LOLZZZ!!!?!?!!"

muzzle79 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 You can accually pick up bodies with it! instead of jsut objects!? 584941781[/snapback] Not only that it'll rip the terminals from the walls and pick up heavier items. Definately fun taking out all the bad guys with bodies lol. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelington Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 that was way back in the e3 demos and movies and leak, that is no longer the case. Objects only now, unless there is a mat_ option like with the cs:s body clipping... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dray_04 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I read the title, and I thought to myself "Geez, don't you just love it when people spoil things for ya" Thanks for spoiling it for the people who havent heard about the blue gravity gun... it woulda been a nice surprise picking that up in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfay Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I loved the bridge area before the section with the door and the battery puzzle ... crawling along the parts of the underbridge ... awesome I got the feeling that if I misstepped I would fall and I wasn't Gordon talk about putting you in game.
