I will not care unless BOTH Valve and Vivendi simultaneously confirm the game has gone GOLD and they BOTH confirm a shipping date.
THEN, and ONLY THEN will I care.
Right now - I am all fizzled out over the past 2 weeks of crap that has happened. I can't take anything Valve or Vivendi says...
I know it sucks - but those pics and videos are now all over the internet, and there's NOTHING anyone can do about it.
If you remove the pics from these forums, some other forum will get them and let people post them freely, and get more web traffic, and get more banner ad money.
Face it -...
Unless - this is part of the "Mixed Mode" Valve wrote for Nvidia cards?
I was assuming all along by mixed mode, they meant blending DirectX 8 with a few DirectX 9 features to keep FX cards up to speed.
Maybe that's why it's in there? Maybe the Mixed Mode is actually OpenGL with Direct3D...
That's not the point. I'm sure there is fully a featured DirectX mode in the code. That's what Valve was pushing the whole time.
My question is what's up with OpenGL being in the code and have ATI and Nvidia cards been tested in this mode and what are the performance benchmarks?
I don't agree. As much as I despise the source code/beta theft, I am very much interested in learning more about the game.
I suggest to force people to put SPOILER WARNING in their Thread Titles - if they don't, just delete them moderators.
And if you don't want to be spoiled, then why the...
Has Valve slipped in under the radar here and provided a good mode for Nvidia cards after all?
Everything ever mentioned about HL2 engine revolved around DirectX9 (Direct3D). Now the beta is stolen and we discover that in fact the only working mode on it is the OpenGL mode?!?!?!?!
I wish...

DOes one have to create a IRC account? I got onto irc.quakenet.org, but I get stuck at the Check IDENT status. I just made up my Nickname and User name...but do I have to create one like you do for AIM?
Or should I dump trillian for mIRC?

Look, this is all I got from the HL2.net Main page
irc://irc.quakenet.org/halflife2
How do I get in that IRC channel? Where do I input that information in my Trillian program?
I have connection manager open and there is a space for server and a space for port.

Not all of them attack -some just stand there. Some are not even fully rendered (missing arms, legs, hands - some are just wireframes)
It a very choopy mess - whatever code/resources the hackers got, they just threw into the source and the source is just using whatever is present in the...
Ok - can someone explain this to me?
---Vivendi is the Game Publisher (Pays Valve money needed to make the game, pays to have the Game Boxed, Manuals Written, CDs Pressed, Advertising, Marketing, etc...)
---Valve is the Game Developer (Uses the money provided by Vivendi to pay it's...
Don't you love it? Vivendi comes out and gives a plain, bold "delayed until April 2004 statement," and Valve gives a "We have no clue" response.
Typical.
