Glitch

[JayScore]

Oddity. Am introducing my second grandaughter to this, the true beautiful game - football is just sh*** compared to HL2 - and I have hit a problem. I'm at the concrete pipe/see saw. I've loaded all the bricks. I know all is right, but the system will not let me leap the gap. I must have done this bit hundreds of times - all of which previously let me move on. Now, though, I cannot jump the gap. It is obviously a glitch; cos I've done it so often, but what is happening?

Anyone met this prob before?

My JUMP is fine. My RUN is fine. No problems with any keyboard stuff, but nothing will let me jump that gap.

Ideas/solutions appreciated.

Bob.

Try to load the bricks on the lower side of the wood slat. You'll be able to walk to the upper side, and jump from there. Or if I'm wrong and you just tried this than try to put the bricks on each other right next to the wall and jump on them.

With that big "update" back in May or whenever, they screwed up/with the physics to some extent. At least as far as jumping is concerned. This was one of the first things I noticed when trying to play after the update. To get past it, use your sprint button and just run across the gap. Another part where sprint works but jumping doesn't now is in the big room with all the barrels and manhacks. If you break the vent and drop down on those barrels directly below, you used to be able to jump to the walkway behind you. Can't jump anymore but you can sprint over to it.

Haven't tried the game in months, been waiting for them to issue an update to fix their update. Guess they're too busy to fix the perfectly functioning game they broke. :|

Is this HL2 your talking about?

I thought that you were talking about the thing in HL2:EP2 or Ep1 when the place is on fire and you make the see-saw go up and you run and jump to the gas tank and switch the gas off.

This should work.

However, if you are still having trouble, open console (press the tilde ~ key in the upper left corner of your keyboard; you may have to enable developer console in esc->options->controls->advanced first) and type the following commands:

sv_cheats 1
noclip

This will turn on cheats and let you fly through objects/etc. Move to where you need to be and type noclip again to disable noclip, and then type sv_cheats 0 to turn cheats off.
