I can't seem to find help anywhere with the problem I'm having, so I'm going to ask here as well and hope someone replies.
I was afraid HL2 wasn't going to work on my pc, but my friend assured me that it would. It wasn't until the demo was released that I downloaded and tried it out - and it worked perfect. At low resolution of course and the game still looks great. The problem I'm having is with the retail version I bought off steam. For one, the title screen shows buildings with different patches of color which I know I've seen before in other games but don't remember how to fix.
The other problem is that the first level won't load at all, it gave me a memory error last night but after redownloading it just freezes before the last two bars fill up. However, over levels will load just fine.. Only everything is white and flickery. I'm not sure if there are some settings I need to change or what, but if the demo worked just fine then why isn't the full version working at all?
My computer specs are alright I suppose, I added some stuff to my Dell 2400. It has a P4 2.6GHz, 620MB o' RAM, a GeForce FX 5200 video card (which is said to be supported) and.. Well, the rest is pretty average. Onboard sound and the such, but the sound in the game works just fine. It's the video. Thanks for any advice on the matter, it's just been frustrating that once I finally get this game that I can't even get it to work.
