Bought DVD yesterday and installed game, registered it etc.
I tried several drivers for my graphic card (Radeon 9200) and with most game lock ups in "loading" screen and i have to boot whole system to get out of it.
Best result i did get with ATI optimized driver 1.7 Lite by TechConnect, i did even get on game itself but after a while when entering certain door game always crashed and did give error "map xxxx loaded, map xx expected" or something like that, i did find a bit similar error/fix for it with google from http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/566/566492p1.html
That error has different map numbers but otherwise it look same that i had. Now interesting thing is that before i did do that fix the game was 100% downloaded when i checked, but after i did rename sourcemodels.gcf and it did download it again, it's only 91%, i even tried to do this backward by restoring original file and now it shows 100% again.
Just did test CS if that would work better than HL and i was amazed that i did get even into a server screen, but when i picked one server and it did start loading...well, lock up again!
I really hope they are working their ass off in making patch, because now i have been fighting with this with approx. 10h and still nothing...no need to say im pissed and very very sad at the moment.
So if any clues out there...i would be most thankful.
Specs-
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
