Valve releases update

Looks like valve has released an update for HL2. Somehow, I don’t feel too optimistic about it, especially when they recommend we take our graphics settings down to minimise the problem — I’m sorry, but that’s not a solution; graphics high or low, the game should not be crashing and behaving the way it does.

I decided to re-install the whole thing last night hoping it will improve, only to find out it made it even worst (now I can’t even load the first level at all!). It’s not so much the audio stuttering for me, but the constant crashing, runtime errors and the in-famous (now) “memory could not be read” errors. I’ll try the patch tonight and see…

    Too busy playing I guess! I finaly got it to work with new RAM - it turned out to be one expensive game!

    Awwwwesome! Apparently the texture ‘trashing’, as Valve called it, is a pretty serious thing. I had the stuttering issue myself, but with the first patch it was fine. Glad it worked out.
