Hud S.o.s.

[Burning Fish]

Hey all,

I'm having a weird HUD-problem in Half-Life 2. See this picture:

As you can see, my crosshair is just a Q and the icons in the weapon-selector are also messed up.
And is the I-Rifle supposed to look that ugly or is it another problem I have? The other weapons seem to have much better textures.

These are my specs:

AMD Athlon XP 1700+ (1.4 Ghz)
512 MB DDR-SDRAM
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AIW 128 MB - ATI Catalyst 4.11
Creative Audigy 2 ZS

These are my settings:

Resolution: 1152x864

Texture detail: Medium
Model detail: Medium
Water detail: Reflect World
Shadow detail: Low
Antialiasing mode: Off
Filtering mode: Trilinear
Shader detail: High
Wait for vertical sync: Enabled

This is my autoexec.cfg:

sv_cheats 1
fps_max 85
r_shadows 0
cam_idealyaw 0
cam_idealdist 128
Bind F2 ThirdPerson
Bind F3 FirstPerson
jpeg_quality 100
Bind F10 "cl_drawhud 0; wait; wait; JPEG; cl_drawhud 1"

I already tried reinstalling Half-Life 2 completely and changing the resolution (1152x864 isn't a very common one), but both didn't help either. I'm having no graphical problems with Counter-Strike Source whatsoever.

Any help would be really appreciated!

sv_cheats eh?

Don't know what to suggest myself.

Yeah, some commands require to have sv_cheats 1 on. I don't cheat though.
I also forgot to mention that the flashlight doesn't work. And I still think Half-Life 2 is one of the best games ever

Make sure there aren't any HL2 related fonts in the Windows Font folder, it's in the Control Panel.

Try this...

Go to "fonts" in control panel (windows) and delete any Half-Life2 fonts there, just did that and now my crosshairs and weapons hub are correct.

If that does'nt fix it for you let me know and I'll continue the search for the answer, but I'm sure that is the problem for everyone.

That did it. Thanks a lot everyone for the quick and good help! I also found out why my flashlight wasn't working. r_shadows has to be at "1" to let the flashlight work. Everything is ok now Now I'm gonna get some sleep. Cheers all!
