Bought a new graphics card and installed it no problems with other games F.E.A.R Far Cry Etc, but in HalfLife 2 the water does not seem to display correctly with this card it appears yellow and I get flashing glitches on the display but only where there is water. I've tried other drivers but to no avail does any one have any ideas? I have not played HL2 for manay months and it previously played fine on an ATI Radeon 9600Pro. Ive fiddled around with the graphics settings for the 6600GT but it does not appear to make any difference. The rest of the game is fine appart from the water.

My water has started looking over-bright and Half-Life 2 has become very unstable for me. I think it may be a widespread problem caused by a either drivers or a recent Half-Life 2 update.

Yep it's a problem with the latest update.

Do You Mean a HL2 Source Update....

....messed this all up recently I have not played the game since October and it played fine then when did the last update come out? Are the powers that be aware of the problems and in the process of finding a fix? I had hoped to play the game back through in all its splendor but it looks awful. ;(

There is a sizeable thread over at the steam forums where people are saying they've sent word to Valve. I hope they get it fixed before I have to use offline mode again at University :/
