Slow Motion in BM and other Source Games

Hey, I’ve got an issue, and I don’t know where it came from.

I hadn’t played BM in about a month, but yesterday, I saw that the “Uplink Remake” was finished, so I installed it. But when I installed it, weird stuff happened. Almost everything was 2x slower. The opening titles: “Gordon Freeman, Ph.D. … Assignment…, etc.” lasted way longer than I thought they should, and the when game itself started, I was moving like slow motion. However, I could pivot at full speed, and the scientists who were talking talked and acted at full speed, just moved slowly. FPS is smooth as ever, just everything happens slowly.

I checked, and this also happens in HL2, so I suspect it’s not a BM-specific problem, but I’m curious if anyone has experienced this before.

I’ve tried uninstalling Uplink, deleting the .cfg files for both BM and HL2, removing the BM install, and uninstalling-reinstalling HL2. Nothing has made a difference.

Got it figured out. All I had to do was update my drivers!
