Half-life problems

kwyjibo · Feb 20, 2003

I'm running the latest version of Half-life, and I'm running into problems. When I play, the textures seem a little more grainy than they should be. The sound is cracking a bit. Worst of all, if I look up at the sky, the horizan "bleeds" into the sky, and my computer starts lagging badly.

I've tried running HL in Windows 98 Compatability mode, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Specs:
Vaio
P4 1.8 Ghz
512 MB SDRAM
Geforce 4 Ti 4400

I've got all the latest drivers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the EXACT same pc until a month ago and never had that problem. The first question is are you running it in OpenGL or Direct 3D? You want OpenGL whenever possible. Check all your settings to be sure they are cranked up. I ran it with DirectX9 fine too. Also, for GeForce drivers, got the latest drivers from Nvidia, http://www.nvidia.com ? Always run the reference drivers, they are awesome and first updated.

Beyond that, you might need to find a Half Life site and check forums or FAQs for people having a similar issue.
