I had this problem, and I know this will be absolutely no help to you, but I'll tell you anyway.
First of all, system specs...
newcastle A64 3200+
Gigabyte k8ns pro
512 megs Hyper X Kingston ddr pc3200
Gainward 6800 GT - stock speeds
TTGI superflower 550W psu
I had the exact same...
Just pretend it's supposed to look like that.:thumbs: Kinda like some independant film - It's Valves artistic integrity owning joo.
Seriously though, I think that's what it is supposed to look like after you get killed in DM, and you're waiting to spawn. Don't know why it stays like that...
Thanks for the help, man, but I've got updates in the past though. I got that first patch that was supposed to fix the studdering, but it won't update now. There has been no firewall changes since then.
Steam will NOT update. I've restarted it 100 times and even reinstalled the game with no luck. I still haven't been able to try out HL2DM or the new patch that came out along side it. :frown:
I'm having the same problem. Don't worry, I did buy the game. I've gotten all the updates up to this one, but I've restarted steam multiple times with no HL2 DM pop ups or anything. I wanna try it out!
Steam updated itself and its platform, but never said anything about HL2DM. My last...
Also, in the Traptown video I was SO looking forward to throwing that grenade under that steel crate to knock it down on the combine.
Makes no difference to me though. The game rules (aside from the constant studdering for me).:thumbs:
I'd say that's your problem (if you want to call it a problem). Vsync will keep your picture from tearing, which is a good thing (especially in HL2). When vsync's enabled your fps won't ever go above your refresh rate.
Anyways, it's in advanced options in the hl2 menu if you want to...
As far as the final boss goes I look at it this way...
The game length didn't bother me at all either. If it were a few hours longer I wouldn't mind, but any more I'd get to anxious to finish it if anyone knows what I mean. I'll replay it a few times, play some mods, etc. When I'm...
:laugh:
This is probably the most ignorant thing I've ever seen anyone post on this forum! Do you need attention or are you serious? Either way, you are about to get flamed beyond your wildest dreams.:thumbs:
Both ATI and Nvidia make super duper bad to the bone video cards (I've owned both). :thumbs: When I buy my next one I'll buy whatever card has the most bang for the buck (like I always have). Right now meh overclocked 6800 gt is cutting through games like butta. :)
I would have gotten it if it had a crowbar with it. :cheers: I know, some may argue "What's wrong with you, man? Don't give kids weapons!" Well, kids are too soft these days. A couple thumps on the head with some cast iron will put the hair back on our younger societies chest. :E
That's too big of a selling point to be kept secret. As crazy as it sounds I'm sure they would lose out on quite a few sales of HL2 strictly for the fact that it doesn't have HL2DM. If it was in there they would let us know. But who knows? Only time will tell.
