We've found the fix for this problem. The fix will be out no later than tomorrow.

Thought you'd like to know.

CanopuS · Nov 22, 2004

Great news. Hopefully this will put an end to it all. Good job Valve and also those who have been persistent (as a community) in getting things sorted out.

GetCool · Nov 22, 2004

Do you mean that this is a fix for the audio/video stutter, or is this a different issue you're talking about?

Compman2000 · Nov 22, 2004

OoOo....sounds lovely.

rd_syringe · Nov 22, 2004

This is for the stutter.

www.blep.net/hl2stutter is confirming the patch.

Flyingbig · Nov 22, 2004

I have minimalised my stuttering problem to nearly non existence after the first 5 mins of the game, my major problem at the moment is the autosave. I really hope this is addressed in this patch as shouldn't have to go in and change my autosave files to read only (this doesnt even eradicate the issue completely) Valve please do me the honours

DookieBooty · Nov 22, 2004

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with this but if my graphics card memory size will it be able to run half life 2 well?

Yes

Eh...what memory size? :dork:

DookieBooty · Nov 22, 2004

64MB of memory size

wasted · Nov 22, 2004

yay

btw: bu-f*cking-mp

nbk · Nov 23, 2004

Dookie.. why don't you post this somewhere else? Of course it will... almost anything can run HL2(although it depends on the card...)

Anyways, thanks for sharing

Shadow-warrior · Nov 23, 2004

booty...

CR0M · Nov 23, 2004

Thanx rd, might consider playing through again if it works - the stuttering and freezing just ruined the whole game for me, and I sure as hell won't be letting any of my friends play it until it is finally sorted.

IE_Armand · Nov 23, 2004

Will this pacth fix mySound loop crashing? All else has failed!!

Bambi · Nov 23, 2004

You can live with stuttering sound, but the poxy memory crash/BSOD needs a priority fix. 100's of people still cant get past the main menu yet, let alone get to the point of an autosave....

BlackMesaDude · Nov 23, 2004

so where is the patch ?

falyfal · Nov 23, 2004

where did you download the patch?

falyfal · Nov 23, 2004

the stutter thing from the link on the first page of this thread

we11er · Nov 23, 2004

Doesn't appear to be out yet...

3mRy^ · Nov 23, 2004

i asked you where you DOWNLOADED the patch you were mentioning... not what this thread was about.

falyfal · Nov 23, 2004

i went to that link and near the end is a stutter.zip file i dled it and put it where it needed to be and then played the game. it may not be a patch but it brings this diagram on the screen when i play and the game seems to work fine and load and save and everything but the diagram wont leave.

3mRy^ · Nov 23, 2004

it's probably Net_graph 3 your talkin about. you can take it away by entering your Config file in HL2 and delete the line "Net_graph 3" if you find one.

Koala_kid · Nov 23, 2004

hi folks,

finally there is a patch, I'm really thankful but I'm looking forward that it's working!
I hope I can test it today, cause here in Innsbruck it's allready 4:30 pm ...
Innsbruck?? yes indeed, I live here and it's the city where Gordon Freeman visited the university ;-)
cheers

falyfal · Nov 23, 2004

in the file it says net graph "0"

Dr Nondescript · Nov 23, 2004

Falyfal, I think you have misunderstood the purpose of the file you downloaded.
"stutter.zip" was created in order to help reproduce and illustrate the stutter problem, not to fix it.

Nope, its gonna completely trash your machine and hump your hard drive until it starts puking ascii.

Then its gonna delete all your porn off your drive and load gospel songs over the top and put a picture of Roseanne with her butt cheeks spread as your wallpaper.

That must be the most disgusting thing i've heared in months!!
:E :E

Big_Tex · Nov 23, 2004

Cool, how soon can we DL that? Man, gospel and Rosanne's ass, sweet.

Hotpot · Nov 23, 2004

THAT was funny!

The thing that isn't funny is that we are still waiting for this bastard patch!

now when i downloaded Stutter.zip i saw directly that it was just a demo of someone having the stutter problem. it ISNT a patch!

Anyway, also the two commands you added to the laung options of HL2. Delete them and you wont have to play that demo at the begining and you wont have to see at the diagram all the time

Vinnie_NL · Nov 23, 2004

They have 11 1/2 hours too release it before it's too late! Otherwise we will have too wait another day. But I'm already getting used too the stuttering, but it would be nice if I can get the patch before I finish the singleplayer, and I'm already at one of the last levels

exmodel · Nov 23, 2004

Man, i've been waiting all day for this freaking patch to come out. I refuse to play as it ruins many moments of the game for me. Apparently they have problem fixed, it just stinks we have to wait for someone to get around to it.

Flyingbig · Nov 23, 2004

Sucks to be you .........................and me come to think of it. I don't mind waiting as long as it IS a fully working fix and not a half-arsed attempt to fob us off. I believe in you valve, don't let me down here :smoking:

Shogo36 · Nov 23, 2004

How about a patch to fix my "memory cannot be 'read'" so that at least I can see the game....I get the error, after the loading screen when I click start new game and HL2 title appears.......ive spent now...26 some odd hours trying to fix this. Why Valve? Why?

What are your specs? It doesn't seem right that people have issues like this, it has to be down to the way you have your pc setup. What Graphics card you got?

exmodel · Nov 24, 2004

Gizzmo0411 · Nov 24, 2004
