Is there any way to disable hardware occlusion culling in Portal? The reason I need to know this is that I know there is a bug in the driver for my graphics chipset (Intel 965 Family) which causes games using this feature to crash. I suspect this might be why Portal is unplayable on these cards.
Thank you. That appears to have fixed the problem (although I might just be in an area where it doesn't happen). It also increased my FPS significantly in large areas.
Ok, so I just bought the Orange Box on Steam, and downloaded and started playing Half-Life 2.
But I have an annoying glitch, where sections of floor disappear when I stand on them. In narrow corridors the walls also disappear.
