Gravity Gun lost it's power???

[fungi]

I finished HL2 and decided to play it again. Now when I get to the part where Alex gives me the gravity gun something is screwy. It doesn't have the power it had the first time around. When she tells me to grab the barrels up on top it just can't to it. It also wouldn't pick up the dog's ball either.

Then when I get to ravenholm it can't pick up the saw blades. It doesn't have a probem picking up the O2 tanks and other things but it just refuses to pick up the blades. It doesn't seem like it'll be much use if I can't get this fixed.

I did make one change in my machine since the first time I played through. I swaped out my Soundblaster Live card for a new Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum card and some new speakers. I can't imagine that would mess things up like this but maybe it did.

Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? Thanks.

try a physcannon_ command. change the maxforce around and stuff.

or delete your config file and see if that helps. save all your custom binds though.

Sorta the same thing happened to me, but with the blue grav gun. I loaded to the part where I it was on the floor, but I couldn't pick it up at all. By re-loading the saved game it solved it. So just re-load the part where alex gives you the grav gun.

Bugs sometimes get added to savegames, weirdly. Try a "new game" to restart at Ravenholm (or wherever) if a saved doesn't fix it and see if that fixes it.

Set physcannon_maxmass to 200.

Thanks that worked. But it only worked because I didn't save my custom binds and figured out I was using the wrong button to grab things all along. Sheesh I'm an idiot.
