Missing textures

[jojobo]

Hi everyone, new to the site!
I'm having a problem involving textures shortly into the game, just as the spinning blade droids are introduced in the tunnels of the canals. Textures on almost half the objects from that point onward appear as black and purple alternating squares (shown below), which is ruining the play experience. Any recommendations on what to do will be warmly welcomed!
cheers

oh dear, well it looks very pretty at least but not great for a game like HL2.

Try validating your HL2 files HERE

Hope that sorts things out. Good Luck :thumbs:

I've had problems like that before... Um... Have you updated your drivers... routine type of stuff...

Ehm... try lowering the Advanced quality setting to the minimum and slowly work it's way up....

What card do you have? (video)

cheers guys, will try suggestions! I'm running a Radeon X800T, which should definitely not have shader problems or texture issues, but I'll see if lowering quality helps

Worked

The valdifying process worked, textures are all beautified and hl2 is back to its fullest glory, cheers guys! If I ever see you down the pub, I'll grab you a pint :cheese:
