Ok. I 1. Insert the prop_vehicle_driveable entity 2. I set the world model to the buggy.mdl 3. The vehicle script file says: scripts/vehicles/jeep_test.txt I compile the map and run it. The jeep rolls away from me and keeps rolling until it hits something. I try to get in. The engine...

No workie.

Maybe shutting down the Steam forum is a good sign -- maybe it means they are aware of the problem and shut the forums down to avoid a deluge of adolescent rants.

I'm in the same boat. It seems I can run non-Source games. Here's a theory: how many with this problem modified their HL2 config file to try to get around the stuttering problem (or just for fun)?

What's your sound card? I don't get stuttering during speech, but I do ocassionally have the problem with a weapon sound or an explosion sound stuttering when first introduced. EDIT: Mine is an Audigy2

The bolts also lose altitude if you shoot them long distances. Most of the other weapons are hitscan.

I think you may be having a different issue. This issue did cause audio stuttering because of hard drive thrashing for the textures, but it rarely (if ever) happened during speaking. It was most pronounced in large outdoor areas (for me).

I don't think it does. I looked for it in the menus and its not there.

Woohoo! Let the flame wars begin!!! I'm not going to start it, though.

My question exactly. If there is a better FPS, then I haven't played it. If someone knows of one better than hl2, let me know!

There is no such thing as a non-biased forum because all forums are filled with people and there are no non-biased people. This forum is not filtering out people who don't like HL2 or who didn't think it was great. Some people think it is awesome, some think is is less than that, but I don't...

I got a huge kick out of him, too. I haven't finished the game and I keep hoping he'll show back up. Since all the paint buckets have white paint, and since it is obvious we are supposed to toss them at zombies, I wonder if someone at valve is a fan of White Zombie (I'm not).

I think it is worthy of the ratings. It's not perfect, but it's awfully good. The music is underutilized it perhaps my only complaint thus far. It is linear, I expected that and they said it would be. Most FPS's are, though you can approach several of the combat situations in widely different...

This one is a bit counterintuitive. I sat there and tried to sawblade the electrical cables and shoot out the board in the window to no avail. YOu have to go INSIDE the building and flip a swtich to turn it off. NOT a physics puzzle. An old fashioned, FPS switch flipping puzzle.

I have identical specs. AFter experimenting, it's the texture detail. If I turn it up high, you get stuttering and stopping as it thrashes the hd for textures (I assume). When I turned the detail back down to medium, it almost never happens. More RAM may just do the trick. I experimented by...

Um, I've got bad news for you. Retail copies have to be authenticated over Steam. The only difference between you in me is that I've got HL2 on my computer already. You'll be in the Steam Authentication queue along with all the other purchasers, Steam or retail.

I hope so...this is a big test for Steam and the activation process. I'm just afraid that this worldwide release at the same time is going to be more massive than they could anticipate. A lot of folks will be staying up a Loooong time to play this thing....

Steam looks to be under a bit of duress at the moment. Bandwidth usage is crawling upward steadily and the player counts keep diving, and we still have ~ 8 hours to go. I think mass unlocking at 12:00 worldwide might just take Steam (if not the Internet) out. I think a bunch of people...

I never trust just ONE review source. It's getting a gamut of perspectives that shows a game's (or movie's) true colors. As far as HL2 is concerned, the thing that is heartening is that several reviews have been overwhelmingly positive and none have been negative. The chance that they ALL are...
