Light Source Debuging Bug

[theafrogerbal]

as you can see there are debuging markers on all the light sources.
this is not something that i turned on it was like this the first
time i loaded into game after a reinstall. and as you can imagine
its kind of irritating. if anyone knows how to turn this debug option
off and would share how to do so it would be much appreciated.

thx,
t.a.g

This is a common problem. Search for all files ending in .dll and then delete them, they're corrupting your pirated Source engine.

wow thx for your not so helpful reply, it is in fact its a legit copy of the game, so stop wasting time and space with assinine responses.

Have you tried verifying your game cache integrity? There's a console command to get rid of those things, but I don't know it off hand.

 

[theafrogerbal]

i verified the game cache, 100% fine. thx for the suggestion pesmerga.

Your game is running under Dx7

Type mat_dxlevel 90 in order to fix it (if your card is good enough, if not try 80)

 

[Pesmerga]

Does that mean you fixed it?

 

[theafrogerbal]

no didnt fix it pesmerga, shoulda said that in the reply.
ill try your sugestion when i get home from work iron_cube.

also, where did you install HL2? anywhere weird?

 

[theafrogerbal]

nope its installed to its preordaned /dir

 

[theafrogerbal]

thx iron_cube that fixed it. now the question is why on earth would it be set to an inferior level of direct-x? lol

Your driver may be outdated, so HL2 thinks it's using an older dx version.

To prevent having to type it over and over, right-click on your half-life 2 icon in your steam list, Properties, Set Launch options, and then type the appropriate dx line.
