G200/400 and Half-Life

[HexxMaxx]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble using Half-Life and the G200/400. Everytime I switch from the actual game to the menu via ESC and back to the game, the graphics are totally corrupted.

Anyone else experienced this and what can I do? Ah, BTW, I'm using the D3D version of HL, the OpenGL Version works just fine.

Greets!

I learnt this work-around from someone in these fori...

Switch your desktop color depth to 16bit, and you can ESC as much as you want in D3D with HL.

Sierra sucks at programming... it is a bug...er feature. I have seen it too with my g200(but considerably less with the latest HL patch and a voodoo2 accelerator.)

Thank Nerdboy and James,

I will try switching the desktop to 16 Bit - but I still hope that this "feature" will be fixed in the near future ...

Greets,
