Hey Maxximo, is there any way you could make your post any where near comprehensible?
your english is far worse than that of Eric Fong.

If it still crashes you could be out of luck, either dual boot with XP or run it in a virtual machine (slow).

#45

Hey! I finally got it to work!

I added the following parameters:

+mat_forcehardwaresync 0 +snd_async_prefetch_priority 1 +dxlevel 80

It has worked flawlessly since (I only tested it til route canal).

#46

wow, halflife hates your video card, that long string of launch options is like a restraining order.

half lifes lawyer: Ok, I got thru the UAC but there are some restrictions, you cant use intels hardware synk, you must keep your priorities in order, and absolutely under no circumstances any direct x over 8.0

If you want more effects, try dxlevel 81, better normalmaps and much better water textures.

Keep in mind the dxlevel switch will always reset your resolution, to avoid manually setting it every time you start hl2 you could add -width and -height commands with your resolution (example -width 1280 -height 1024)

#52

#53

this is strange.

today, after updating windows and rebooting, I opened up steam and i thought, “hey, I’ll give it another shot”. opened up steam, erased the launch options and started a new game…

and now it works perfectly. dont know why though, the windows update had nothing to do with drivers or anything like it, but now the glitch is gone.

#54

I was searching google for solutions to this exact same problem and I found this thread. Windows 7 32-bit, crashed right at the same point OP said.

#59

If its installed via Steam, right click on it and find the option to verify cache. If its not installed via steam, install via steam

Get 64 bit.
