i think you could just change it so the next and previous weapon commands do something different when you're holding an object with the grav gun

must have snark-like manhacks to deploy...and combine turrets and stuff... i bet sven co-op 2 will be pretty leet in this regard...fighting co-op against the combine will be neato...

lmao...i bet valve never thought anyone would do it that way :p

still though...after so long i can't help but be dissapointed that there isn't any multiplayer in hl2 except CS:S after more than a year's extra delay...what about those fans that are sick of CS? of course i can wait for mods...and i'm sure sven coop 2 will be fun...and others yet...

well thanks for that...i guess my steam is messing up...i've also clicked on my icon every day for a long time as well and i'll i've ever seen a percentage i know what gold means...jeeze :P

wow thanks for that explanation of what going gold means...that wasn't what i was suggesting... i was merely suggesting that it's complete...it never said that before and i've restarted steam every time a new stage was released. it's never said "a locked copy of hl2 is on your computer"...in...

well it never went over 51% before....it stayed at 51% since the day after the last stage. and it went up by a certain amount after each new stage was released.

mine is 3.38 gb...and hl2 says it's done preloading. i only counted the "source shared" and "counter strike source" non-beta .gcf files.

anyone else getting this? if it's done preloading, will it go gold now...or do they plan to make more changes to what's already been preloaded?

don't forget that there are versions of hl2 that will be sold with no multiplayer access. they probably just copy/pasted some code from that for whatever reason.

before you RMA, make sure you check your voltages. either download motherboard monitor 5 or go check in them in your bios. if your 3.3v line is low, that could be causing your problems.

update: omfg...got my card back...decided it must be a power issue after checking my RAM. noticed the 3.3v was around 2.5...omg. so i pull the ATX power cable out of my mobo and 3 of the plastic pins are burned on the inside. immediately i'm thinking how much it's going to suck if my...

lol...i always post in every forum when i have a big problem...you get so many more ideas on what to do...i love anandtech...and their forums as well.

yep...and i'm stuck in this computer lab all day with little punk ass kids asking stupid questions. if i could play games in between stupid questions, that'd be wonderful.

no, the card was not bad...it tested out as good at the company i bought it from. they're sending it back to me...well...to my house in michigan...not to me at summer camp...cause they fcuked up. so i have some other problem besides the vid card....that basically leaves RAM and mobo...

it flickers in the bios screen though...how will a windows-based program help that? monitor is fine...and i unplugged a bunch of stuff (extra HD, fans, cd writer) to see if i was getting drained power, but it didn't change anything. i dunno...do you guys think it's a RAM problem?

their RMA status checker thing says the card tested fine....i kind of agree that if it was a bad AGP slot or bad RAM that the problem wouldn't be flickering. hell...i dunno...i'm just gonna see if they reply to my email and call and bitch if they don't. meh.... :\

UPDATE: horribleness.... first bad news: checked the RMA status today and it tested OK. 2nd bad news: the return shipping is going to take 7 days 3rd bad news: the card is going to my house in michigan instead of to me at summer camp in new york. what a horrible mess. it's bad...

probably just the 9800 pro...i doubt anything better will be less than 200 before the end of the summer

i think it's happening more than one time a day....and he said randomly...not regularly. if it was a leasing issue, it would happen at regular intervals. kidrock made a good point though...it could be signal strength...though the BEFSR41's have that exact problem, which is why i jumped on it...
