• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Anywhere else that has the free EVGA 7800Gt and mobo deal?

    qb, at risk of insult, what browser were you using? I was using moz, then ff, unfortunately finally I had to place the order at eVGA through IE.

    yes yet another half life 2 problem...please look

    *nods* Aye. But now it's my favorite pointer error. =] And about complaining to Valve, I'd love to but I've yet to go hunting for a contact that doesn't seem like a faceless VUG dropbox. I will next break. For now? Back to work.

    Yup. Gave it a shot. Did no good.

    Hmmm, stuttering bad in HL2, or skipping?

    Steam update and file validation didn't solve the crash. And again... might've made it worse. I couldn't even get past the load menu without it taking a dive.

    Hmmm, stuttering bad in HL2, or skipping?

    *sigh* Nope, didn't help much. Fixed the stutter for the most part, but it didn't fix the crash.

    Hmmm, stuttering bad in HL2, or skipping?

    I have in this thread (pretty sure anyway - yeah! Here ya go: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1026880198&postcount=47), but it's no matter. I think I may have gotten it. I've not really played for long enough to know for sure but I had a save in Route Kanal that was a sure-fire crash...

    Hmmm, stuttering bad in HL2, or skipping?

    Yeah, but that doesn't seem to work for everybody. I've defragged down to 1% or 0% without improvement. I'm going to try (right now) clean installs of chipset, video and audio drivers. 'Course I'm getting crashes instead of just the stutters, so maybe the only thing that will help here is a...

    How much memory is STEAM using in your PC?

    Exactly. I'm that way too. I usually even kill explorer when I'm really serious about peformance in a game. I've been known to use alt shells before *just* because I didn't feel like being arsed into having to stop explorer. Steam? Exactly the wrong thing for resource-misers like me.

    How much memory is STEAM using in your PC?

    I get about the same idle (36MB or so). I've yet to check what its usage is during gameplay, but I've heard some people quote hundreds (by steam, not hl2.exe, mind you). I'll have to see it myself to believe it.

    Hmmm, stuttering bad in HL2, or skipping?

    Yeah, I thought it might be that simple here, but after defragging there was no improvement. Actually it seemed worse after defragging but that's likely just coincidence.

    Hmmm, stuttering bad in HL2, or skipping?

    Same symptoms as everyone else. Happens in the middle of the level. Audio will loop for a couple seconds, video will pause, windows cursor comes up over the targetting reticle and a couple seconds later I'm back at the desktop. The machine never locks up, only the game. If, during the audio...
