Half-Life Stutter

Black Mesa Archive Help!
#1

Hey, you guys know about that Half-Life game, right? Well lately I’ve been having a problem with some sort of stuttering. Here’s a video showing a couple examples.

It happens consistently in the same spots, and throughout the game, varying in severity. I’ve tested on a WON version, and the issue isn’t present, so it’s only in the Steam version.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Sys specs (as much as I doubt it’s a system issue):
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 Gh
6GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7700
Win7 (64-bit)

I got this too.Just switch over to Software instead of OpenGL.Or just choose DirectX, incase you got that driver installed.

#3

I’ve tried that. It causes problems as opposed to fixing them (oddly).

#4

Maybe theres some usefull info in this thread.

#5

Nope, nothin’ useful. :frowning:

The last option would be reinstalling Windows, but I’m pretty sure you’re not too keen on that :p.
If you happen to have downloaded & installed tons of drivers or packages (like me), you might want to delete some.No idea if that works, but the stuttering occured for me after I installed tons of stuff for VS 2010 C++.

Yeah, a clean reinstall wouldn’t be worth fixing one game. I’ve looked around to see if any drivers I installed could be causing problems, but apparently not.

Your PC needs some major optimization (Half Life runs great on a pentium 1 MMX 233mhz)

I think you just need to defragment Steam files, that will probably fix it.

Oh and enable/disable force pre-cache in the console, that should definitely fix it.

#9

Like I said, the WON version run doesn’t have the stutters.

I’ve tried all the basic stuff. Drfragmenting, verifying the cache, reinstalling, etc.

What’s the command for that?

a paremeter to add in the launch options .

you should look if you have installed something that loads some executables or if it is a virus from internet .

you should do a reinstall of windows, with latest drivers , and some tweaker like tcp otimizer : https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php
if you use adsl and a router , set the mtu at 1492 . that prevents having 2 packets : one full and one for 8 octets

that should be cool and quickly done ;’] and that cleans all shit ;’]
