HalfLife + g400MAX on NT?!?!?

[GriZZly]

hia

Got a quiz about Halflife. In some senarios, some textures seemes to be malplaced, this occur on and off, and can most of the time be fixed, switching flashlight on/off..

When there are explotions, this happens aswell. This might be the "dirt-fx" that isnt working properly perhaps??

Anybody knows ant solutions??

Sys.Spec:

PII400Mhz, 320MB SDRAM, Windows NT 4.0(sp5)
Millenium G400 MAX (4.34, 1.5.22)
HalfLife (1.0.1.5)

Thnx/ GriZZ

If you're running it in OpenGL, that would explain it. The texture handling in NT sucks. Haven't used the new 4.35 drivers, but you could give them a shot. My only advice is go to Win2000 as soon as you can legally get a copy of it. The OpenGL in Win2000 has been faster for me than in 98, and seems to look better too (maybe faster is better for me...). Good luck, but I pissed into the wind a long time about the NT drivers, and it didn't do me any good (and I got piss all over me).

Well, tried PD4.35, same problem... wondering if it's due to the driver though... cause its in the same polyogons that the texture missbehaves... seemes like a software (halflife) bug to me... and when you say that texturing doesnt work on NT, why do you think that? I got plenty of OGL stuff, like Lightwave that works just fine!

However, I will uppgrade to W2k as soon as there is reliable device-drivers (non-beta)....

...cause I'm pissing into the wind when it comes to sblive drivers for NT!...i.e. all over me....
