Half Life 2 patch probelm

[La23mac]

Hey guys i got the emporio fix with the client.dll and it worked but whenever I load a game the AI frezees and do nothing.Except when I load a new chapter.Any help?

[Pjspliff]

I know your problem.

Start the game, open the console and type: ai_norebuildgraph 0
after that type: restart

Next time, try the search function tbh.

And its not a patch problem :P
:newbie:

[La23mac]

Thanks I'll try and post the results

[La23mac]

Thanks again it helped just tried it.
But I have another prodlem.In the fourth chapter Water Hazard the water doesent give any reflections although it's set to reflect all.Now it isnt a problem with my graphic card cuz in the previous level the water was just fine with all the reflections.Any solution?

As i said, i dont like the emporio-releasese :(
Its maybe a problem with missing Textures or with the "not up-to-date Source-Engine or client.dll"

Btw how does the water look like?
Is it transparent bright-blue? or does it look wired, like pinky and some pixel-errors?

If its transparent-blue -> Your Graphic-card dont support (but you mentioned above it was working )
Or if its pinky with some pixel-errors -> Maybe your Settings are to high (Antialiasing and Anisotropic-Filtering)

Last but least try the "Source-Tweaker" with this you can choose your DX-Level and see the differents between DX v.5 - 9.0

Well the water isn't pink or bright blue it's just without reflections,and as I said it was fine(with reflections) in the previous levels.I will try the Source tweaker and post the results

If thats the level I think it is, with the boat thingy, the reason you can't see reflections is because your computer can't handel it, you need a faster graphics card, because your graphics card can't render all the reflections without the game lagging, so it gets rid of them.

Even my mates computer, which has a 3Ghz P4 and a Radeon 9800 Pro, doesn't play that part of the game flawlessly, its sometimes sluggish.

Yep i also think its a p0rrblem with some graphic-cards, but with my cheap Radeon 9600SE i was able to see all "water-levles" correctly (at around 40fps)
just to let you know guys ----------^
DX v.8.1

Yes that's the water I get to see.I tried with the source tweaker but no resulst,the same.Do you thin I'll be able to see reflections in other levels?

[SoulThief]

Your Grafic Card might not support such features or there is something wrong with your DirecX version as HL2 can even run with DirectX 7 !!!!

[Pjspliff]

I guess you cant see more reflections because there aren't any.
Look at the above picture, this shows you what see at least.
I mean its satisfied, isn't it?
:ladiesman

[La23mac]

No i saw a picture of the same level in a gaming magazine and it had all the reflections of the nearby buildings and stuff.I'll try to send it later

k, you are right (see my posted pics above)
Its DX v.9.0 and i did set my shader-detail to "high" and water to "reflect all"

[La23mac]

So what do you think why can't i see that kind of water.Is my PC not good enough:
Celeron 2.4 Ghz
512 mb dual channel ram (2 * 256)
Nvidia GeForce 5700 LE ?

Yep if your grafic-card does support DiretX 9.0 i think so.

Btw, the Source-Tweaker is now updated, so you can now really switch the DirectX-Level of your Video-card :grayshy:

I've got the Source Tweaker 1.3.1 and when i chage my directX level everything stays the same.When i start source tweaker again it says directX 8.1 again

[Nightmarea]

I have the same exact graphics card and I see all reflections so its not your card. What drivers do you have for it? I'm using 71.89.

[acal3000]

HL2 is full of AI bugs

[Pjspliff]

I've got the Source Tweaker 1.3.1 and when i chage my directX level everything stays the same.When i start source tweaker again it says directX 8.1 again
Its updated but the version hasnt be changed because of the minor fix ;)
I know the author very well, trust me.
Just download it again, you'll see it works.


And tbh, i dont see any AI-bugs in HL2 anymore ;)

[La23mac]

Your link for the source tweaker doesen't work.Can you post it again

[Pjspliff]

Your link for the source tweaker doesen't work.Can you post it again
It does work if you do a right mouse-click and then "Save Target as..." on the above link (as mentioned above ;))

But anyway here is yet another link:
http://rapidshare.de/files/3871830/Source-Tweaker-v1.3.1.rar.html
(Scoll down, click on the "Free"-Button, then scroll down to the link (dont use a download manager for that))

"I've got the Source Tweaker 1.3.1 and when i chage my directX level everything stays the same.When i start source tweaker again it says directX 8.1 again"

Just start the Source-Tweaker, enter the path to your config.cfg
press on "GPU" and change the DX-Level from 8.1 to 9.0,
scroll down and press "apply" ;)

Thanks man the link works I've downloaded it now i'll try it and post the results

[La23mac]

Hey man it works now it says directX 9.0 so now i'm gonna try ingame and see if the water reflections are good.
Then I'm gonna post the results

I really appreciate your feedback ;)
Yeah, show me some :)

[La23mac]

I tried it ingame but the results were the same.The water had no reflections,but it options menu it said directX 9 so source tweaker has done it's job.
But no results.The water is the same even though it's directX 9 now.
Do you think it could be some problem with missing textures?

Did you set your shader to "high" and water to "refelct all"?
