HL2 probs...general stuff for everyone

o_3xternal · 01-22-2005, 08:09 PM

The purpose of this thread is just for people to post thier HL2 woes and mebbe we can work some stuff out within the communities knowledge base.

I still suffer fromt he HL2 stutter problem. I disabled my sound card even, but still had stuttering. Any ideas? Heapsize and sound precaching are both enabled.

I don't have any stuttering besides the tiny bits that happen when I trigger an auto-save. The game even runs fairly smoothly at 800x600 with the settings turned down enough. My problem is that after 15-20 minutes of play, the entire level starts flickering in & out every other frame.

If I quit the game completely and go back in, the problem's gone, but it takes several minutes on my PC.

get mbm and check your temps.. i had so many problems with hl2 due to my pc overheating, eventually had to remount the heatsink to keep the temperature at a stable level, although my case has 9 fans in it. i can explain more if need be, main problem was 'the memory could not be "read"' error.

haha, I had the stuttering problem but I just tweked the volume a tad. My sound card is really meant for a sound system better than the headset I'm plugging into it so I think it just got confused.
