Also got the sound and video stutter problem.

Have used the cfg tweak and 5:1 setting which has made a big difference, but the stuttering is still there, and this is only playable on medium texture and model setting - turn these up to high and it becomes completely unplayable.

please fix soon valve!

Not exactly HL2 but if you beat hl:s and refuse to go through the portal... this now happens as opposed to nothing at all in hl1.

That happened in Half-Life 1 too...

I know it's early, but I'm already stuck in half life 2.  I'm in the Route Kanal, in the place where it looks like you need to go through a tunnel with red lights.  The problem is I cant figure out how to reach the tunnel (it is too high).

You have to increase the water height  from the other side by dropping down on some pipes and turn the red valve.

Good Luck!

Just for the future: there arent any puzzles in the game that require stacking crates or barrels for an hour or so to get by them. There was one point later on where I thought I had to do that but I was blocked from going further by an invisible wall. The problem you have has been answered a lot on the forums so you might wanna just search back through the thread because I really can't describe what to do.

Is anyone else bitterly disappointed by the Collectors Edition version of HL2? The t-shirt is great, and of course HL2 is tops, but Half Life Source is a joke. Same textures, physics only available for ragdoll, etc. The supplied strategy guide/making of HL2 book is teeny as it only contains excerpts from the most useless parts of each book. Bah.

ahhhh... seems like noone is satisfied with games these days...

either the graphics suck or the storyline bites.

HL2 was awesome and will always be awesome. (Fullstop)

Most of your post is simply inferences. If you play the game you would never know where the combine came from in either of the games. Anyways the storyline isn't that thin, the running plot is very thing however. Most of the levels are just running around and finding some destination where you have to leave right away anyways because it isnt safe, and there is almost never an objective.

Where The Combine came from isn't importrant. There's always an objective, it's just that there's no "show objective" button. Yes it may look like there's just levels where you go from a to b, but if you stop running through them at max speed you'll notice alot of hints lying around like posters, grafitty and clipboards. You'll also learn things by talking to all of the people around in City 17.

Hows about you stay on topic and stop bashing the game, take it to the official thread if you have nothing to contribute.

Well said forster, the game isn't just running away because it isn't safe. There are losts of challenges and different objectives. I personally loved HL2 and respect VALVe a lot, how they got the game to run fine on even low end dx7 cards.

I have the stuttering problem. i lowered the sound quality to low, and the game runs much more sooth, except there is horrendous stuttering at the autosave points and when I load a game.
