Problem: don't know how to call it!!!

Hello,

I'm posting four images here, where I drawed in red circles the area's where my problems occurs. It isn't that bad that I can't play HL 2 without having fun, but sometimes it's a bit annoying.

My problem is this:

some of the objects aren't drawn in full detail. Sometimes it happens that they just spawn in front of me. I had it once that I could see a combine soldier from a distance, and when I came closer, it appeared that he was standing behind a pile of boxes, so normally I shouldn't have seen him, and he would surprised me when I came behind the boxes. But now I could just shoot through the boxes, and kill him.

These are my specs:

Intel pentium 4 2000 MHZ
768 MB RAM
Geforce 4MX 64MB

My video config for HL2 is:

Resolution: 1024 x 768
Aspect ratio: (4:3)

Model detail: High
Terrain detal: High
Water detail: simple
Shadow detail: low
Antialising mode: 2x
Filter mode: Bilinear
Shader detail: High
Wait for vertical sync: Disabled

Does someone know how I can fix this?

Hey all i could sugest would be either trying to update your video card, change your Antialising mode to off if those 2 things fail then i sugest getting a new video card

... if those 2 things fail then u sugest getting a new video card

Thanx, that really helps! :naughty:

It just happens to be that I can't afford a new one at the moment! Otherwise I wouldn't be posting this thread!

Its part of the game.. it calculates how well you're running it, then fades in/out objects to improve performance

Above and beyond the previous reason, I also suspect that your card can't handle the High Shader setting and you most definatly, most definatly, should keep AntiAlaising off. AA kills older Geforce cards. On a G4MX its probably costing you 30-40% of your performance. I'm not suggesting you should get a new Gcard, but turn down the stuff I suggested and maybe move a few of the other High options to Medium.
