No matter yes or no it's still the same
So yeah, how to fix this

Oh my god, after reading this thread I thought maybe making this on goldsrc was a mistake
[B]IT'S FULL OF BUGS[/B]

Fixed it, apparently you need to launch the game through a custom launcher.[/QUOTE]
Well I get a very similiar issue. But instead of it complaining about it being on Direct 3D mode it says it's on software. Yes, I run the game through the custom launcher, it seems like it ALWAYS goes like this:
1: I set the resolution at the launcher, 1280x720 since I intend to record for youtube, however when inside the actual game, it seems to be 800x600 no matter what I picked for resolution or custom resoltuion.
2: After it actually launches the game, no matter if it's in 16 bit mode or not, it always says the game doesn't "support the current video mode" and switches it to software automatically.

3: 2D menu or 3D menu, both work fine. When starting a new game, the game warns me one more time that the game doesn't support software mode and I should switch to openGL.

4: Now I have two options there, either I just click cancel and it loads the game anyways, with some really odd graphical glitches, presumably from running in software mode anyways. (Notice it's stuck to low resolution)

Or I tell it to change to openGL, if I do that, it tells me that it's set to openGL and to restart steam. I do it, launch the game, back to step 1.
tl;dr : Game launches, changes to software mode automatically, then bitches about it not being able to run in that mode, only openGL. Restart game, repeat.
Video card is an ATI HD 4890 by the way, just updated to latest drivers two days ago D:
Any help would be appreciated as I have been waiting for this game for way too long, as I'm sure many of you have
UPDATE!: Ok I seem to have fixed the issue. It's a really dumb thing really. For some reason my monitor refresh rate was at 59 hz and openGL just went weird while doing that, I ran the game through steam forcing my resolution and 60 hz refresh rate (after changing my own to 60 of course) via -w 1280 -h 720 -refresh 60 and it ran perfectly. Now running through the launcher gets it to regular openGL mode like it should. Perfect.
Yesterday, my internet stopped working right as I started downloading and it got to 90%, but now i'm installing.
[editline]23rd February 2012[/editline]
And fuck singleplayer i'm a huge pussy and only downloaded this game for the coop
So I just got one of the two [sp]fuses[/sp], I got the one in the very first building of the game, in the [sp]apartment that's cordoned off, all bloody, long hallway with flashbacks and stuff[/sp].
Now, I need a [sp]ladder to climb back out[/sp] but I can't find it. Any ideas?
ARGH I crashed RIGHT after the first boss fight, and now i have to do it again. Checkpoints are cool and all, but I need quicksaves to stop shit like this happening!
So wait; this game isn't even particularly scary, and it might not actually run with my graphics card?
Well gee, that's a bit disappointing. Downloading to see for myself, but as I'm on ATI I don't even know if it'll work.
I keep getting to the same part in the sewers and it crashes and gives me some no free edicts error :(
The save point from where it crashes is a fair way away too so to have to do it over and over is killing me.
Fuck this i'm not playing by myself, I want to play coop!

let me guess [sp]the screamer in the camera part[/sp] ?

It still burns
[QUOTE=Rusty100;34831313]how to do??[/QUOTE]
I found the launcher exe in the mod folder. Didn't notice it was also on my desktop (firefox is open 24/7 fullscreen)
The camera thing at the beginning scared the shit out of me purely because it wasn't the type of screamer that i was used to.
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;34831719]Now, I need a [sp]ladder to climb back out[/sp] but I can't find it. Any ideas?[/QUOTE][sp]It's in the basement. You'll need to do some swimming. The ladder is in the same place you found the video tape.[/sp]
[QUOTE=skyms2663;34831773]I keep getting to the same part in the sewers and it crashes and gives me some no free edicts error :( [/QUOTE]I had this error too. Add the following command to the mod's launch options to rectify it:
-num_edicts 2047

i know that feel bro.....i fucking cried for 3 minutes because of it

Fuck, now I missed out on a good scare. Thanks.
<Nevermind, works now>
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;34832171]Fuck, now I missed out on a good scare. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
You're probably going to be scared anyway
I know I will

Arg you should have put spoiler tags on that :pwn:
Just wondering, how many chapters are in the signleplayer?
[QUOTE=NoobSauce;34832171]Fuck, now I missed out on a good scare. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
It's not a good scare, it's just a screamer, which is pretty much one of the dumbest kind of scares you can get.
I added a mirror if needed.

(i'm getting 10 MB/s from this link, can't guarantee it'll be like this for everyone tho.)
I managed to guess the code for the padlock. Or more like, keep spamming the buttons till it opens. :v:

And it was pretty fucking hilarious when I saw it, assuming you're talking about the [sp]giant head with googly eyes[/sp]
it was like the fucking looney tunes
[editline]23rd February 2012[/editline]
Also, this save system is annoying as all fuck. I paused the game and accidentally clicked the wrong button, and now I have to sit through fucking [I]everything[/I] all over again.
They could have at least let me skip the cutscenes

You can skip cutscenes can't you? I skipped a few of mine. Unless you mean something else and I read it wrong.
I just pressed Enter.
Why is the CoF icon on Steam gigantic. It takes 2 spaces.

Holy fuck the asylum co-op map.
[sp]THAT FUCKING BATHROOM WITH THE M4. BRICKS WERE SHAT.[/sp]
So, my phone doesn't provide any kind of light. Is there a button I need to press to have it flash, or is it just a glitch?
The baton is so fucking satisfying to use.

holy fuck why did I not think of that I am a fucking moron
but the save system is still incredibly annoying
Can anyone host a coop game? Id like to play a bit coop right now
