HL + Open GL

[Frankfurt]

Sorry bout wasting everyones time if they click on this post, but with my system setup i was able to get Half-life/TFC to work on my computer, i didn't even notice the one white dot on the screen except when a new map was loading. I am running version 5.30 of Powerdesk and the TurboGL driver. my sig has further info in case anyone is interested

Frankfurt,

You are not clear on what you are saying. Are you upset because you have a white dot on your screen? Is it a big white dot or a small white dot? Does it go away when you are not playing HL/OGL? Do you overclock? More info please.

first off, nothing in my system is overclocked, because the simple fact of the matter is, when i try to overclock ANYTHING in my system, my system becomes unbootable.
I could care less about the white dot, because i only see it when there is NO action happening on the screen so it doesnt bother me. I have also never seen the white dot when playing half life in D3D. In case it matters i was running HL in 800x600 and using the default 0GL driver (which i imagine because i installed the TGL driver ahead of time is the TGL driver).

Essentially this was just a post to tell people i was happy OGL is working in H-L (FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT) and in case other people had a similar setup, to supply them with my current setup
sorry for any confusion

OpenGL in HL always worked for me, both with the ICD and TurboGL.

I do get garbage white pixels in the font used on the console though. Still legible but isn't perfect.

Well congratulations then It's always nice to get something to work after putting in long hours trying to fix it.

i will rephrase that original statement, it worked fine for the first few days but now, it seems when i try to load certain new maps, the game will crash back to my desktop with no error message displayed.
I also know that there are people in this forum who have reported a similar error, ill go check them out, if i have a problem that the other posts dont solve, expect me to post here again
