[QUOTE=Mr. Cool Gamer;22195633]As if my respect for Valve couldn't get any lower, They pull a George Lucas and force everyone to accept their "Special Edition" version. The game looks much worse now. The weapons look like they got drenched in water, Alyx looks like a reject from Fakefactory's Mod, The walls have a ugly grain overlay sloppily applied, (again like Fakefactory. Did Valve hire him for this update?) And some maps look far too bright/dark in some areas. Did i mention the stupid achievements that only serve to promote a further dumbing-down of what was once a great medium?
Valve is proving themselves to be worse then Activision and Ubisoft. When i buy a game, i expect it to remain in the exact same state as i installed it without being corrupted by user-content or patches or "official updates". I feel sorry for anyone who actually paid money for this game. Valve better issue full 60$ refunds to properly compensate this grievous injury to gaming and gamers.[/QUOTE]
Fucking bastards how dare they releasing updates for free to my game.
Mr. Cool Gamer is just mad he cant run HL2 on his Dx7 high end 2002 Machine.

If only... If only...
People with "gamer" in their screen or user names tend to be like that, from what I've seen.

Anyone else think Normal motion blur (not the forward one in my pictures) seems really week? I can't really see it that well.

Mat_motion_blur_strength 1 is default, change it to anything.
15 is the highest smooth amount, after that the screen starts getting fucked.

I personally prefer 4. It's about perfect.
huh all the forward motion blur is, is the falling motion blur applied when going forward, because the falling motion blur commands affect it.
Probably late on that, but I never messed with it before.

damn it, anyone know how to reset your achievements? I want to get them again for Hl2 :P I got them in that update mod.

I wasnt talking about forward enabled and you asked how to make motion blur stronger I gave you the cvar.
Also use the Steam Achievement Manager tool.

I know you were not, I was just pointing that out.
And thanks.
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;22185274]Same for me, I run at 60fps but if my FPS even drops by 1 the whole game slows down they skips and speeds up, its a real pain and an issue Ive been having on my PC for a while now.[/QUOTE]
Turn off VSync.
[QUOTE=Risonhighmer;22200402]Turn off VSync.[/QUOTE]
Without Vsync its even worse because of the constant changes in frame rate. Having the game slow down from 60 to the 30s or so is not nearly as bad as having the game slow down from 300 to the 200s or 100s.
Also screen tearing is horrible to look at.

Picky Picky Picky
Is anyone else not really getting HDR? The lighting, shadows and textures all seem improved but I still don't get that shinyness/brightness sensivity.

Thats not being picky.
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;22201317]Is anyone else not really getting HDR? The lighting, shadows and textures all seem improved but I still don't get that shinyness/brightness sensivity.[/QUOTE]
Seems to only be in some levels and in others its non existent.
By the way am I the only one who noticed the Half Life 2 2007 GCF has different sized map files?
Well, started playing hl2 today. Before the update, kliener's lab and bme both were in a gray shading, which is from my laptop graphics card. After updating, this is now gone, and everything is brighter( maybe a little too bright, unless mossman is really pale). Great update.
Oh goody.
Now I can't run my favorite game from my piece of shit PC anymore.
:frown:
Cool now I can't play SMOD: Outbreak thanx Valve :love::love::love:

Well you can, change the appid number to HL2DM.
Aren't they like 3 years late for the engine update?
[QUOTE=poopiecrap;22202772]Aren't they like 3 years late for the engine update?[/QUOTE]
Yessir, they are, and you're like 3 years late to the party for mentioning it.
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;22202701]Well you can, change the appid number to HL2DM.[/QUOTE]
Nah it wouldn't launch any maps when I tried that. But thanks for trying to help bro :)

Odd, Ive got an HL2 pre update setup that uses HL2DM and it works alright. Then again its not really a mod.
[QUOTE=Doomish;22203372]Yessir, they are, and you're like 3 years late to the party for mentioning it.[/QUOTE]
What?
It was already on the ep2 engine for the console versions.

Explaining it ruins the joke but you deserve clocks because it's already been mentioned several times in this thread that an engine update is long overdue.
The Airboat's keep upright is a little wonky now. With multicore on if you stand on it it tilts now (Before it would just stand still as a rock)
Is anybody else getting a bug at the end of Entanglement where Alyx refuses to move as soon as you teleport to Kleiner's lab?
I got that, changelevel d3_c17_01 fixed it.
The HL2 demo still uses the old engine.
No demo for you, Macs. :smug:
