Help! HL2 models messed up! Created 19 years ago2005-01-14 17:35:18 UTC by gareth1990

This isn't really a modding question but does sort of affect modding 'cos HL2 is messed up and before someone suggests it, I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice.

Basically the problem is, all the character models and some of the object models seem to be damaged, they have polygons jutting out all over the place and have holes in them, and i've found no similar problems on the net (thats why im posting here). I installed it before on win98 SE and didn't have a problem, its only after upgrading to Win XP SP2 that I had the problem ( I formatted when installing XP ).

Has anyone had a similar problem or got a solution cos its really getting annoying.

Does this happen on single player as well because it might be a driver issue or a hardware?

My friend had similar problems and he noticed his computer was overheating and the graphics card got hot so it displayed stuff wrong!

It happens on everything using the HL2 engine, I just put in a Geforce 6600 GT, though i have no problem with Doom 3 and I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed...

Win XP SP2

Get...

Rid...

Of...

That...

Trash!!!

Why is it that it never seems to work on peoples computers but mine???

U think SP2 is the problem? Un-installing wud lower security tho...

I just upgraded my PSU to 400 W and didnt solve the problem.

I wouldn't try'n uninstall SP2.

DirectX, graphics drivers, motherboard AGP drivers?

Ummm... I think it is SP2's fault... Same thing happened to me! But it didn't happen to mine until after I installed SP2! It only does that to DeathMatch though...
