Half-Life 2 disables A.I.

[Imonfire]

So today I decided to play Half-Life 2 again, but strangely, the game disables the A.I. (and I have A.I. Disabled in huge white letters in my screen) and I have another message sayin’ “Node Graph Rebuild”.

By the way I have Vista x64.

'The hell?

I remember asking for information about this once and being flamed because, according to some jackasses, that only happens to pirated copies.

Does this help?

Go into your hl2\cfg\ folder, and create a txt file, inside this text file, write the following lines.
ai_norebuildgraph “1”
ai_disable “0”

Save, then rename the text file to ai_fix.cfg, right click the file and set it to read only.
Next, open up valve.rc in notepad, you should see the following

// load the base configuration
//exec default.cfg
// Setup custom controller
exec joystick.cfg
// run a user script file if present
exec autoexec.cfg
//
// stuff command line statements
//
stuffcmds
// display the start-up level
startupmenu

under “exec autoexec.cfg”, add this line:
exec ai_fix.cfg

Save the file and you’re done!

EDIT: And how about this?

Also, you can open the folder where you installed Half-Llife 2, go to hl2/cfg/ and look for "config.cfg”. There you should find this:

bind “F5” “jpeg”
bind “F6” “save quick”
bind “F9” “load quick”
bind “MWHEELDOWN” “invnext”
bind “MWHEELUP” “invprev”
bind “MOUSE1” “+attack”

Under “F9” write this: bind “F12” “ai_disable 0;ai_step;ai_resume”. You should have something like this then:

bind “F5” “jpeg”
bind “F6” “save quick”
bind “F9” “load quick”
bind “F12” “ai_disable 0;ai_step;ai_resume”
bind “MWHEELDOWN” “invnext”
bind “MWHEELUP” “invprev”
bind “MOUSE1” “+attack”

Start the game, and when the “AI Disabled” message appears, press F12 several times, until the message disappears.

Mine is legit.

Yeah I tried this one, and it did removed the “Node Graph Rebuild”, but not the AI problem.

Thanks I’ll try this one.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to say that you were pirating. I had the same problem, even though my copy (well, I played with a friend’s steam account, but still) was legit as well.

Good luck, hope it works

No harm was intended buddy, sorry if it sounded so. And actually yes it worked ^_^. Thanks!

[TheOneAndOnly]

Heh, thank God I didn’t sound rude then. I’m glad to hear it worked!

Oh crap. I’ve that problem too and am using Win7 64bit. The game automatically runs in 64bit mode. Is there a way to use 32bit version instead?
I’ve no interest in pressing a button every time the A.I. gets stuck :\

EDIT: Oh Yeah! I got it! just add “-32bit” in the “Set launch options…” and you should get rid of this problem

[Wasabi]

Yeah, its a problem with the 64bit version of the game. Just add -32bit to the launch options and it should be fine.

I had the node graph problem. I updated my graphics driver and restarted my computer and never had the problem again. I play in 64bit mode on Vista. No problems. I never had the AI problem.
