Seems like the same guide as before.

My computer won't let me install that Windows tweak software posted on that guide.

 

[Gunner]

Still the same old newbie advice. Guess it could help some people :|

 

[rumblefish]

just use regedit if you know how, i find it easier, like some people use wizards to make web-sites, others use HTML...

They added about 3 pages of stuff. They even said they'd do it when the first half was posted.

"Faster Shutdown
Half-Life 2 performance won't be impacted, but this is a nice tweak. It shortens the shutdown time allowed for applications which can speed up the shutdown time significantly.
Recommendation: Enabled"

That's some award-winning writing right there

:naughty: And this guide was to prepare for Half Life 2. HAHA!

 

[TM2 Rampage]

Is it just me or does this guide just seem like a lot of bullcrap that could apply to any game in general?

It's like a weaker version of one of the generic guides on TweakGuides.com

Well, you can't really blame them since the game isn't out yet...

 

[soccerdude21490]

yea, I think the reaso they made it for HL2 is becasue probobly there was a LOT of forum posts and emails asking how they can make their computer faster or better running... so they just made it for HL2 to catch their eye.. liek I scan over the site like everyday and if its HL2 I stop.. if it isn't.. I don't really read anything

 

[Absinthe]

Like... I do this shit every month.

everything on there besides the tweak software i did every week basically. BUT DAMN! the tweak software gave me a 15fps boost in CS:S!!! its awesome!!! it was a real bitch to install though, they need to make it less confusing.
