More HL2 fun..

Thanks for checking in.

Does anyone else have troubles with the two new levels (esp compound). They run poorly on my box - 140 fps when I am wondering around back, and then bam, down into the 30's when inside/in a fight/etc. The is horrible! I am getting 83 fps in the stress test at 1400*1050 2xAA 8xAF, and I turned it down to 1152*864 2xAA 4xAF, and it really didn't help much. I have a 2.6ghz A64 with 1 gig ddr 433. AA is NECESSARY as the source engine looks BAD (IMHO) without it - jaggies everywhere on everything. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else was having similar issues....

Later,
Nat

ya, my FPS drops on compound too- its just because how large the open area is

It's not just compound.
Valve fuxored a lot of things in this update. The new ct models produce an ass load of video lag not to mention the incrediable amount of server lag that is still unidentified. The new arm/hand hitboxes were not worth it imo for these problems.

Good to hear that I am not completely alone.

Slower in compound for me as well. Good map though!
