Hey all,

Now I will tell you of the most recent time this happened. I was playing the FaceFactory cinimatic mod for HL2, for those that dont know it puts super high def textures in the game. Anyway when I hit a loading screen it will load normally about 3/4ths of it, then it will start loading incredibly slow. Eventually it will stop loading all together, and no activity can be seen from the hard drive. (clicking, loading sounds. Also no blinking led lights) I have had this happen in normal HL2 and in HL2 E:1 ALOT, man E:1 is buggy ><!

Anyway, does this happen to anyone else? If so how do you fix it? Seriously it makes me not want to play the game out of fear of it crashing my computer and causing a restart.

Yes I spell bad, but remimber Mighty are the stupid.

Never had any problems with E:1. Are you sure it isn't a virtual memory problem or something?

Maybe the super-high texture load brings you computer (or the Source software) to its knees. Maybe the installation missed some files. I had my troubles with HL2 & Co but wouldn't blame Valve yet if it only happens after the hi-res mod.

Why snark works.

Well, your right. But still, they are to blaim for E1 being so buggy.

I didnt encounter any bugs in E1 in the 3 or 4 times I have played through it.

I have a game-stopping bug in E1, and it's happened on a few different configurations of mine, unfortunately they never gave me a straight up answer about it. Same with Deleted Scenes..I cannot get it to run properly, they only half-assed my first ticket and when I responded to that one it's been probably 2 months now with no response.

Ep1 crashes without an error message on my brother's computer after about 5-10 of playing, but it runs fine on mine. Deleted Scenes isn't worth the time or effort imho. Ritual never finished it and Turtle Rock kinda half-ass finished it but it's not really any good.
