Half Life 2!!, Finally!!! Options

[Mike]

Tomorrow at midnight I'm lining up at the local mall to get it. Got my plaid shirt, calculator, glasses with tape in the middle and suspenders all ready to go

This is the BIGGEST game to come out in years as far as I'm concerned..

Anyone else gonna line up to buy it on the first day?!

I'm in love, for the 2 min of game play at a time (befor my pc crashes) its the best.

I have been working on making a map for cs:s since i cant really get anywhere in hl2 untill i figure out my pc. any ideas for a cool map, I've started a under ground temple (dust theme) where the t's start outside, and fight to the main room a few floors down, where they have to bomb, cts are temple security.

I'm currently running my ati 9200 se and i still have problems (it does put up some nice graphics will little to no lag befor it crashes) so my geforce fx 5700 se oc is not causing it. I just bought a new case with a real airflow design for a change, it should help with heat, but untill i get xp (I bought it but has not shipped) i'm stuck.

Ya that does sound like a typical heat issue, maybe try playing with your side panel off and a fan blowing in there, Ive heard people do this and lower there temp substancially, I wouldn't reccomend doing it much though.

I don't have experience with your vga cards but hl2 is no where near as demanding a game as say Doom3 so I can't see you having to much trouble. Also try scaling down your graphic options and see if that stabalizes it.

Im glad you brought up cooling though, Im getting a liquid cooling system for christmas Cant wait!! Im not having instability problems, but lower temps mean more oc'n
