Disappearing Models at certain distance

[DEATH eVADER]

I have a problem with Half-Life 2 where the models will disappear when viewed at a certain distance (As a matter of fact its minimal). I do have a 6600GT, and this problem didn't appear on my first runaround with the card I got a year ago, so I'm guessing this problem was caused by a update. I believe this more than ever, considering that this problem doesn't appear in Ep1.

However, I do believe that you could set the disappearing distance in the properties bar. However it was a long time ago that I have forgotten the parameters. I would be grateful if somebody remembers or knows them, thanks.

Type these into your console or config.cfg and it should be fine.
r_screenfademinsize "0"
r_screenfademaxsize "0"
