Original HL graphics problem

[Bing_Oh]

Hey...just wondering if anybody has had this problem and if there's a fix. With HL2 still MIA, I decided to revisit Black Mesa. Unfortunately, when I loaded HL and started playing, I started getting graphics errors ONLY underwater (no graphical details underwater...just gray). I've changed video cards since I last played HL (to a GF4 Ti4600 8x AGP...basically a Ti4800)...and, no, the newest drivers don't fix the problem.

Anybody?

Are you in OpenGL mode? This is all I can think of, DirectX on HL1 causes all manner of problems.

A Ti4600 is both nVidia and faster than a FX5200.. lol, your FX5200 isn't a magical card, Trinity

Yeah, pssh. My GeForce 4 MX owns you

I've tried both OpenGL and DirectX, both in different resolutions. The OpenGL mode gave me even weirder bugs (plain gray models...no detail at all...plus the underwater glitch).

If you havnt reinstalled the game you should do that 1st, when I upgraded from my geforce2 to my geforce4 I had some nasty graphic problems, mainly with the GUI.

 

[Bing_Oh]

That was the first thing I tried, Flamin. Even loaded the upgraded graphics pack from Blue Shift to see if it would make a difference...nada.

Not to get this thread off topic but is there a way to skip levels in Half-Life?

I am replaying Half-Life again and there is a bug when I am going up to the surface (on the elevator). The elevator gets stuck half way up to the surface and then I get stuck and I slowly die. For some reason, I can't do anything to get past that bug.

I imagine you can load certain maps from the game as long as you know the console commands and file names.
