i've tried setting AA in-game and the engine gets restarted, and typing mat_antialias in the console tells me the setting has changed, but there's no AA visible, even after restarting the game. forcing AA in display settings works but caused a nasty hang. i'm just benchmarking different...

RAST: ah! you have an FX card! you want to read this thread at HOC. scroll down to post #9 for instructions, you can safely ignore the rest of the thread, lots of peeps don't know what they're talking about. i'm benchmarking this tweak today so i'll post back with the results. This is the...

it's just a text file - right click in the folder and choose "New text document", name it "autoexec.cfg", say yes when windows asks if you really want to change the file extension. there is an option in windows "folder options" control panel which says "hide extensions for known file types"...

hey!! don't spoil it for me! ;) i'm still on route canal - i keep playing it over trying to get a decent frame rate before i go any further!

Go here and enter the search term "verify gcf" (url to the actual page was too long to post), it will take you to a page where you can verify your steam files by clicking on a link, only works in IE though :(

level one is for noobs to get used to running around, two is for noobs to get used to weapons, three is where the game really begins. you can set sv_unlockedchapters to 3 if you want to start a new game but skip the first 2 levels. instructions for how to enter commands (and much more) at half...

the only possible reasons i can think of are that you have chosen a mode that your monitor/card doesn't support or you have set the videomode in a config file somewhere and that it's overriding the in-game setting. try this: look in ...\steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life 2\hl2\cfg for a...

when i sit down to type my left hand automatically goes to shift-a-w-d instead of a-s-d-f and the first few words come out garbage. only got the damn thing a couple of days ago!

put bind [key] "incrementvar cl_showfps 0 2 2" in your autoexec.cfg to toggle showing fps. i just found this in the tweak guide: might help you. also on the last page of the guide is a nvidia specific tweak which (as far as i can tell) reduces the shaders down to dx8 level without reducing...

i'm not sure, probably not that much. i have a 128Meg 4600Ti which is a DX8 card anyhow, i'm going to try the DX7 settings tomorrow but i'd be disappointed to have to play the whole game like that, or at 800x600 for that matter. if your problem is simply low framerates when there is action...

there are several options that can only be set as the game is launched, heapsize is one of them. if you launch the game from the steam 'play games' window, right-click on half-life and choose 'properties', then click the 'launch options' button. add "-heapsize X" (without the quotes), where X...
