Same here.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Flashram what video card do you have and what version drivers?

 

[Flashram]

6800 GT. 66.93 driver.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Well now we know it's not a specific ati/nvidia problem...

 

[Confused]

Finished unlocking at 8 minutes past, got playing immediately, graphics are :Q

Couldn't post here earlier, but did post in OT, i was too busy playing, but from the replies here, I beat everyone else by 4 minutes!

/end brag


But i had to leave after 15 mins to go to work *cries*

 

[edmioducki]

I've got the application errors as well.

X800 XT PE, 4.11 Catalyst

 

[Maximus96]

played for about 45 minutes. i guess i'm in the second chapter. it is every bit worth the waite and hype so far.

 

[INGlewood78]

the game rocks..!

 

[IAteYourMother]

fuck... I want to play so bad. Gotta wait for the weekend... Bah. Is it really that good?

 

[EngenZerO]

here is a quick screenie... i need to go to sleep, LOL... too tired...

Quick Shot

 

[AmdEmAll]

This is BS! Got the new ati drivers and still can't get it to work

 

[erikistired]

man this is a killer game, but i need more upgrades! faster ram! faster cpu! faster video! gahhhhhhhhh.

i'm not too much for all the "loading" screens tho. but what can you do.

 

[datalink7]

damn the air boat is nice

 

[BigFatCow]

Damn the biggest improvement this far is how good the vehicles (airboat) handle compared to HL1

 

[theblackbox]

okay...
the graphics are beautiful although i have a weird pausing issue with my pc. I think it's because BTV is running in background among other things.

amd 64 3000+
1 gig corsair xms
bfg 6800gt oc

the weapons are great, and the physics, fantastic. Unlike doom3, the textures are really well done, and the whole hame has a polished feel, water and all.

my only issues the stutters, but i think it is running apps.

in the morning i will put it on my x800 pc and see how it fares

steam download

the flying saw things are a hoot

 

[pennylane]

Damn... I want to keep playing. That was fun...

1024 with 4xAA and 8XAF on an Athlon XP1800 and GeForce 6800 NU

theblackbox, you have a 6800GT and an X800? Do you consider yourself a generous man?

 

[LordNoob]

wow, runs ok on XP 2500+, 1Gig RAM, 9600XT at 1028X768. The loading times are annoying though. I must say, I prefer the pistol over the SMG. Time to go to bed. I will have to play some more tomorrow

Edit: By the way I have the very latest drivers that just came out the other day- 4.11 I think?

Edit: One more thing, HL2 is awesome.

I get the stuttering too...I hope its an easy fix..it starts getting annoying after a while

 

[BigFatCow]

only complaint this far is all the loading...

 

[JohnAn2112]

I get stuttering too. It's not TOO bad but it does get annoying.

 

[Appledrop]

if you can access console on HL2 [you wud have to enable it in the options first ] ( i aint played it yet, still at school ) try typing CL_SMOOTH 0, this removes stuttering in CS: S so i imagine it does the same in hl2

 

[Czar]

anyone tried hl:source yet?

 

[AmdEmAll]

Anyone find a fix to the crash at loading screen?

 

[mb]

I can't get it to load
