Hi,
After the usual Steam update today I resumed Half-Life 2 Episode One towards the end of Chapter 3: LowLife.
Following some frantic activity we managed to board the elevator to the surface. At the surface, before we exit the elevator, Chapter 4: Urban Fight starts loading for 15-20 secs, but never completes. I bring up Task Manager and find that Half-Life 2 is 'not responding'. I am able to End Task at that point and return gracefully to the desktop.
This behaviour is consistent and consequently I am unable to progress further with the game.
I have tried rebooting and also rebooting into my simming and gaming hardware profile with minimal services and background tasks running. Still the same result.
This is proving to be most frustrating. The game ran fine up to this point. Can anyone help, please?
System Spec:
ASRock 939Dual-SATA2, AMD Athlon 64X2 3800+ (2000MHz)(K8 Manchester), 2GB Crucial PC3200 DDR400 Ram - Default latency timings:3-3-3-8 (2T)(Dual Channel), (AGP 8X) Saphire ATI Radeon X800 XL (R430) 256MB (Omega 3.8.273 (Catalyst 6.7), Hyundai ImageQuest Q17 17" TFT LCD 20ms Monitor (1280x1024x32), SB Audigy2 ZS Platinum (Drivers version 5.12.0001.1196 WHQL), WD Caviar SE16 250GB (WD2500KS) SATAII + Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 ATA133 UDMA-6 (320 GB), ASUS DRW-1608P2S Optical Drive, Antec P150 case with NeoHE 430W PSU, CH Products USB Yoke, Pedals and Fighterstick, Plantronics Headset and Mike combo, TrackIR Pro ver. 4.1 (build 29), Logitech MX1000 Laser Mouse, Windows XP Home Edition (SP2), DirectX 9.0c, AGP Aperture = 256MB
Thank you.
