cant. map. in. HL1. until. steam. gets. fixed.
so IRC is down for everyone?
every time i try to run CS or any HL1 based game it runs horribly slow. and this is on a PC that will play HL2 just fine. i checked the error logs and i would appreciate if anyone could make sense of this:
Error:Failed to load dialog file Resource/UI/ClassMenu.res

umm IE worked fine and FF works great. a PC than can play HL2 isnt exactly crappy. more like a crappy program. or maybe its cause of Windows (crappy OS). but even if it did work right i still would use FF
well for starters, it kept crashing on me, it wouldnt load certain pages, pictures wouldnt display often, and it loaded stuff slow. and yes i re-dowloaded and reinstalled it, checked the settings and it still wouldnt work right.
have you even tried Opera?i have tried it and i was so disappointed i fed it to mr recycle bin. such a waste of my precious hard drive space.
This came to the attention of America's politicians, who became involved in a fierce debate. The debate turned bloody after Bush and Kerry got in a fight over whether nuclear was pronounced "nu-clear" or "nuke-u-lar". The two fought to a bloody death, causing Ralph Nader to
whole hell of a lot faster than opera...what a sorry excuse for a browser. the folder is sitting in my recycle bin right now. perhaps its about time to empty it...getting pretty full...
this was in another thread but sorta got buried. if you have Firefox try out some of these tweaks: http://www.overclock.net/showthread.php?t=12855
i applied these tweaks and now Firefox is more than twice as fast as IE ever was on my connection.

lol this isnt the place to ask for money...most of here barely have anything or we rely on our parents for money. if i want a server i just run it on my own computer. my 256k DSL connection can handle up to 7 players and im lucky if i can even get that many to play on it. so unless you have dialup or a cruddy pc (my server is a laptop) you can make your own easily.
Arctic Silver 5 really works well. Since I put it on my laptops CPU heatsink, its been running much cooler and the fan just stays on low all the time now.
This just in: OPERA SUCKS!!

Plus it doesn't have that awful laggy feel!the only way Firefox would lag is if your internet connection or computer sucks. so maybe its time to ditch the old Commodore 64 and get a new setup.
there are a number of tweaks that you can apply to Firefox to make it much faster.
here are a few good ones: http://www.overclock.net/showthread.php?t=12855

can you get to the heatsinks?
i like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind more than i like Fable
i think its overheating. the BIOS will automatically shut down the PC to prevent any damage. if you know how to get it open, check the heatsinks and make sure they arent clogged with dust. make sure the fans are running and nothing is obstructing the intakes/exhuast.

once you use Firefox, going back to IE is like using dialup.
i remember when i first played HL1. its was on a Toshiba Satellite 6200CD with a 266MHz Pentium MMX and 32MB of RAM and 800x600 screen resolution. it had a really nice Yamaha sound system built in, which still is better than what i have in my Dell. still got that laptop too.
hahahaha thats so true...now lets all go home and masturbate...
today is overcast and foggy. only about 5C outside and hopefully it snows
HL1 was not the same environment. you didnt spend all your time stuck underground. remember Surface Tension? that was the longest level in the game and it was all spent on the surface. HL1 took you from dark underground corridors to open, brightly lit surface maps, from old industrial areas to high tech labs, and from familiar man made areas to strange alien worlds. it wasnt all the same stuff.
HL2 was too short i think. i was hoping to get to some alien world and kick some alien a** but you never end up leaving the City17 area. HL1 took you around alot of places. and just when you thought you were getting near the end, it would keep going. i seriously thought the objective of the game was to get to the surface. so on "We've got hostiles" when i got to the surface, i thought the game was over...until i had to go back underground and realized that i was no where near the end. HL1 was totally unpredictable, you never knew what would come up next. thats what i liked about it.
