I had this too, just validate your Hl2 or HL2DM files whatever that is, and it sorts it.

how do i validate my filesdoesn't steam do that now and again.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Have steam running.

Go to start -> run and put this in.

steam://validate/220 ( that validates HL2 SP)
when thats done

steam://validate/320 (thats HL2DM)
Should do the trick.

I had some weird distortion on my HUD a few days ago. Like my Clip number was halfway up the screen, my torch battery monitor remained on permanently etc.

Luckily next time I ran HL2 it just cleared itself up. Not that that really helps much, just thought I'd share

That happens to me whenever I go from windowed to fullscreen mode. Probably not very helpful to you, but ya know...well, maybe not.

 

[forg0tt3n]

if im not mistaken validating steam files checks for any irregular or corrupt files and replaces them...yes????/

I believe this only happens when you make adjustments to the video options.

To be specific, it only happens when there is a resolution change, or a Fullscreen to Window mode change.
