I realize this forum is primarily for Half-Life 2, but I wasn't quite sure where else to direct this situation. I've downloaded and decrypted the files sent to me and such by Steam for both Half-Life 2 and Half-Life Source. I haven't had any problems with Half-Life 2 except for a lack of virtual memory, but my Half-Life Source is acting rather odd, if not amusing. Basically, the game runs great, but many of the characters and creatures seme to be missing some...parts.
For instance, all the Barneys lack the top portion of their helmeted heads. Yes, that silverish band at the top of their helmet is missing, which allows Gordon to get a good view into Barney's head (there isn't anything there). Further, the Vortigaunts are all missing pieces of their hunch part of their back, which (when looking at them from the front) allows me to see what is behind them. And finally, whenever Gordon picks up a weapon or something, his hands are missing. Further, when I pick up a crowbar I can't see it at all, yet I know it's there because I can break boxes and grating and such. Additionally, the barrels of most weapons (so far the soldiers' submachine gun and the SPAS-12 shotgun) are missing, as well as the sites (esp. on the submachine gun).
Other problems include a lack of words on the screen. By this, I mean the words that are supposed to say "Gordon Freeman", "MIT", and all that other jazz at the beginning of the game do not show up. Further, the words that are supposed to show up on the screen when you start a new level (i.e Anamolous Materials, "We've Got Hostiles", et cetera.) do not show up, either. Also, the reflections on the water looking like REALLY shiny sheet metal when I get upclose, but like water when I'm far away.
Beyond that, the game loads quickly and well, and I have yet to notice any other problems. :x Can anyone help me out or at least steer me in the correct direction?
