Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / November 2004Read this about new stutter fix patch!
The only thing the patch did is this: mat_forcetextureintohardware "1" Just change it back to "0" in your autoexec.cfg if you want to go back to the way it was... > The only thing the patch did is this: > > mat_forcetextureintohardware "1" > > Just change it back to "0" in your autoexec.cfg if you want to go > back to the way it was... My apologies. It's: mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 1 >>The only thing the patch did is this: >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 1 Still stutters both ways for me.. In some cases worse. > > mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 1 > > Still stutters both ways for me.. In some cases worse. So some cases being one of two options... A) mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 1 B) mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 0 If it stutters normally both ways, AND stutters worse in some cases (1 or 0) ... Then... Isn't it fair to say that your Half Life 2 just stutters badly or terribly what ever you do to it? : D >> Still stutters both ways for me.. In some cases worse. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Isn't it fair to say that your Half Life 2 just stutters badly or > terribly what ever you do to it? I think what he means is: either way it stutters worse than before. Same here. Is that really all they altered? Was the variable included before? -- Paul >>>Still stutters both ways for me..

Was the variable included before? I think the variable (and the bit of code attached to it) is new.. the variable is there presumably for people who dont like the patch and want to play it as it was before :-) (A good idea since the option not to install the patch doesnt exist..)

Yes, it does. You can always turn the automatic installation of updates off in the Steam properties page of every installed game/mod/whatever. >>I think the variable (and the bit of code attached to it) is new.. >> the variable is there presumably for people who dont like the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Yes, it does.

However, if Steam knows there is an update available, it won't permit you to play the game without installing the update. this is done deliberately because Steam is supposed to ensure that everyone always plays with the latest version SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench Today's episode is brought to you by the word "patience", the letter "lambda", and the number two ;-) > However, if Steam knows there is an update available, it won't permit > you to play the game without installing the update. this is done > deliberately because Steam is supposed to ensure that everyone always > plays with the latest version Is that true of HL2, or just CS:S? If the former, it renders the option completely pointless. -- Paul >>However, if Steam knows there is an update available, it won't permit >>you to play the game without installing the update. this is done [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > If the former, it renders the option completely pointless. I think it's true for all Steam games (HL2 included). But of course, steam will only know theres' an update available if you actually allow it to login online. If you only ever run it offline, then it will never know.

I feel fortunate that I'm not one of the ones whose framerate got screwed. Honestly, its really not possible that Valve could have missed this bug. This is one of the worst examples of shoddy game production I've ever seen. >>> Still stutters both ways for me.. In some cases worse. >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Same here.

It's like 10 pages, but a good read and he does talk about the stuttering problems and some things HE knows can help it. Can't hurt, right? McG. http://www.tweakguides.com/ If HL2 was updated DID nothing for me stutter wise still crap, what did steam do with 5 years of programming this game ? >>>> Still stutters both ways for me..

Not really. It doesn't stutter at all on my computer. Civilian_Target >> Isn't it fair to say that your Half Life 2 just stutters badly or >> terribly what ever you do to it? > > Not really. It doesn't stutter at all on my computer. > > Civilian_Target I have only a very brief stutter occasionally when it loads in a new area. It's gone in about a full second. I've tried a couple of the simple tweaks listed in the article here http://www.tweakguides.com/ and haven't had time to play it to see if there was any change. I heard turkey calling! ;) McG. >> Isn't it fair to say that your Half Life 2 just stutters badly or terribly >> what ever you do to it? > >Not really.
