    Half-Life & G200...

    I'm having a problem while playing H-L: during the game I'm experiencing some texture corruptions usually to buttons, lights, player models ... but sometimes to the whole level too!)

    Another major problem: whenever I quit playing (by pressing the Esc key) the game crashes throwing me back to the Desktop at the infamous 640x480 resolution.

    Do you have an idea of what's wrong?
    I've the latest driver installed (5.52)...

    I'm having the same. Chrashing problems.
    Will try WinME and new BIOS over the weekend. I'll keep you posted.

      I've already tried the new BIOS, but the situation is the same!

      Maybe WInME can do it... even if I'm a bit sceptical.

      Thank you in advance!
      Off course, if I find a solution I'll post it here to be shared

        I'm having the same problem using a 5.41drv/5.30PD hybrid w/HL v1.0.1.3.

        When I used to play more often several months ago I didn't have this problem. Several months ago I also wasn't using the 5.41 drivers or the 5.30 PD(I think). So, that leads me to conclude that the problem must have first appeared with either the 5.41 ICD or the 5.30 PDesk.

        Try dropping back to straigh 5.30 drivers and PD and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't go back further to 5.25, and if that still doesn't do it then just keep moving backwards until you wind the one that does work.

        I suspect that if you try the 5.30 drivers that everything should work fine though.

        Good luck.

          Ok, I didn't see spec's on your system, but I have a G200 on an EPOX MVP3G, and had many of the same problems you listed. Use the 5.25 drivers. They are the most stable that I've found yet (I've tried 4.30, 4.41 and 5.52, all caused various crashes and corruptions).

          I don't know if it is the VIA drivers (which may be part of it), or the Matrox drivers, but most likely the two of them together.

          Using 5.25 drivers with the not quite latest VIA drivers (4.17 I believe), Everything works great, except Homeworld in OpenGL is a bit wonky at times (but it looks dang pretty). That is my reccomendation.

          Oh, and I would say stay away from WinMe if at all possible. For your own sanity if nothing else... there are many bugs and compatibility problems to be worked out yet, between it and many pieces of software.
