distorted graphics and textures

[khorneflake]

Hello all.

I posted a youtube video to clarify my problem:

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTdWFSkeDjo[/YOUTUBE]

I just got a new pc:

Dell XPS710
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.66GHz
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX
Fijutsi Siemens 22" monitor (widescreen)

When i first played it couple of days ago, I had no problems, except for some interior graphics that went grey-ish when I moved farther away (I noticed this in the lab in the beginning of the game); So i updated my drivers (Nvidia Forceware version 97.94 (april 5 2007). Since then I had this problem: audio is ok but the graphics are all messed up. Textures appear and dissappear, and when I try to play it, it looks like the no-clipping cheat in Doom and running through the walls.

I already re-installed HL2, verified the integrity of game cache and defragmented cache files, to no avail.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Put the video in [YOUTUBE] tags when it's done, lots easier that way.

Tried different display drivers?

 

[khorneflake]

Different display drivers? Yeah I tried, but on the site they say:

Driver for ScaleoView or ScenicView Displays
Item number: 04350863 Date: 04.07.2006
Description:
Is an explicit driver necessary for the ScaleoView or ScenicView Displays?
Solution:

There is no driver needed for Fujitsu Siemens Computers displays.

Please install the monitor as a "Plug & Play"- monitor.

I meant other drivers for your videocard. :hmph: Older versions etc..

I "rolled back" to the previous driver, but it didn't seem to work... I just remembered: I also installed the latest directx from microsoft..Maybe I shouldn't have...?

DX10? No, you shouldn't have.

Anyway, what the big problem? It's stil playable.
Sorry, had to say that

 

[khorneflake]

no not 10, 10 is only with vista I thought

and NO it's not playable...very funny

no ideas?

 

[khorneflake]

never mind it's solved!

I think I didn't uninstall my previous drivers before I installed the new ones...Anyhow, it works, thanks for the help

overheating

Overheating probably wouldn't make the computer skip random brushes.
