Anybody else get screwed over by the new Half-Life patch??

[butch84]

I just installed the damn thing, i i noticed that whenever i played Day of Defeat or Counterstrike the game would crash to console and say something about an "overflow error". I then downloaded the fix for it (apparently the problem is only with ati cards, i have a radeon) but i dont know where to send the fix. If i install it in the Half-life directory it just creates a file named "fail" and nothing is fixed. Inside "fail" there is a new file, "hw.dll" If i copy it into the half life root directory and replace the old one, i cant get into half life at all because it says the executable was modified!!!!!!

WTF WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell am i supposed to do then??? GOD DAMN PIECE OF SH!T PATCH!!!!


HELP ME SOMEONE< EVERYTHINGS FADING AWAY . . . . . .

There is a patch out that fixes that prob.
Get it from the CS Page

....a patch to fix the patch that fixed that other patch...how amusing. I hate it when something like this happens! Ya go and install a patch for your favorite game thinking "this is gonna be kewl!" Then, all it winds up doing is crashing your rig. Sometimes I'm very hesitant to install any patch for anything if theproggy is currently working correctly, you know?

Yeah, it really suxors. YES, i do have the fix you are talking bout OLDFART. Do you know where i install it to or do with the .dll?? Like i said in first post, the fix does nothing- i might be putting it in the wrong place. IF i manually put the .dll in the half life directory, i can even get into half life- it says the hl executable has been modified.



ARRRRRGH!!

I see there is a mod and retail CS patch. Maybe try the other version?
