Weel, I've downloaded it and I've playing a bit with it (still trying to get to the lab, after a failed teleport- Scotty what the hell were you doing, man? :laugh: )
First impressions: the graphics are great, the physics engine is even better! Uau!
But I sometimes get a bit of stutter for no apparent reason ( it turned into major stuttering when I was teleporting). Any of you guys had this happen to you?

What settings are you running it on?Pirimeister said:
As for the teleporter...I wish some game had a sequence where everything actually worked...I bet 90% of the people knew that was coming...

best part of the game?
easily Our Benefactors - running around with the uber-Gravity Gun.
Gobeavs - that was the bit I was stuck on for ages...if you want a cheesy, easy way to get through it, PM me - I'm ashamed to admit I resorted to gamey tactics to win that bit...
Anyone else love how your squad mates completely ignore your orders? "Stay here, so the turrets don't kill you" seems to become, "Follow me, and stand around getting shot at while I try and disarm the damned things!"
btw, if you start a new game after completion, when you get the GG again, it;s the uber variety Makes ravenholm easier

So far...I think the best part is - don't laugh....the beginning. Before you even get a weapon, running away from the combine soldiers in the apartment building, with all of the people so scared..that was so immersive. It could have been I was still in awe over the graphics and everything, I just remember as fearing for my life there

Hmmm...I should have asked this before - what are your system specs?Pirimeister said:
I bet it is either your CPU can't handle some of the more intense parts. Or your RAM can't, the latter probably the case if you have <512 mb.

My system specs are a P4 3Ghz with 1G RAM and a ATI 9800XT. This should be anti-sttutering specs, don't you think?
Also, the problem isn't slowdowns in performance, but something I can only describe as stuttering...

also effects sound too - I get it periodically, most often after a loading sequence.

I get it also, after saving or loading, but after a few seconds, it goes away...Ivan Rapkinov said:
Don't know about the graphical stuttering...

Around forums, people have been able to get some basic coop games going on the internet. It isn't fully functional yet, and there are a lot of bugs to be worked out, but it is something. They have been able to get some basic deathmatch going also, so it looks like there really may be a HL2 online play, just in its early stages. Maybe a later patch from Valve will unlock its full potential...
