Sure (will probably take a while for fast servers to appear, though). There's two issues here: Lag is mostly down to connection speed (yours is ok), where as fps is graphics card. For playing online, you want low lag (ping < 150 or so) and a decent framerate - the higher the better, but >30...

80 fps is a good frame rate. Nvidia driver is fine too. You have nothing to worry about :)

oh no, that can't be right. That would be a sucky surprise :(

Warning - screenshot is spoily for those who haven't finished. Anyway, I guess for SP mode it runs a server and connects you to it? So whatever you're doing is causing a lot of stress on the machine, causing lag, so the PC reports connection problems.

Winamp views them for me, you may need divx installed. I like the turrent one best.

It's almost as if Steam hasn't 'seen' your cd installation. Do you (somehow) have two copies of Steam installed or something odd like that?

Is that the one where you can throw the grenade through the blue field into the room with the plug in, which knocks it out?

That's like saying books are repetitive because they all have words in. Yes, there's no way anyone could possibly have a valid opinion that wasn't the same as yours.

Pretty much (maybe the x800 will make it by the time they've done). Check this: http://www.beyondunreal.com/content/articles/95_1.php

it's a cvar, set cl_ragdoll_collide 1 or somesuch.

Those guys are such a bunch of trolls!

Ok, I see what you mean. But he was saying that HL2 isn't the first (major) game not to be leaked, which is true. It's not that the PR said it wouldn't be linear, but it was implied that there was AI at work when really it was scripted. I don't want to get into that whole scripting argument...

Woah! How the hell did the Combine win the seven hour war when they suck at fighting so bad? :)

I know you didn't, I was being jokey. Admittedly it wasn't a very well worded post in that regard, my apologies.

That is what we've been saying to you - it's a glitch, reload the game. I'm not sure what you want from us. Yeah, we definitely want to help you out now. Luckily for you, only 1% of people can decipher what on earth that sentence was supposed to mean anyway.

Ok. I was just trying to be fair and reasonable, but I guess now we can get the lynch mob together :naughty:

That's a nice criticism but nothing to do with the guys point. Well some of the pre-launch PR implied that it would be less linear than it was, so I can understand the frustration. Also, we don't know how linear 'HL3' is going to be - I'd hope less so. Hl2 already feels sort of dated when...

I thought there was a collector's edition available at stores, so maybe he means that when he says gold.

You have to replay it or cheat forwards. There is no other solution. New patches come through Steam.

Apparently Tim Sweeney said it runs 25-30 fps in a webchat. Is he a good enough source for you? :) This is quite interesting, btw: http://www.beyondunreal.com/content/articles/95_1.php They're still developing it. There is no real problem in implementation - but the new stuff is shader...
