155841 2003-06-28 09:30:00 Hey all. Umm, turned on the new computer and went to run the thing I use the most.... Half Life (Counter Strike, Day of Defeat... etc). But they don't want to run... I only get fps of 70 and then when I shoot it freezes or quits to the desktop. We are using a Creative Radeon 9800 PRO (128mb version). Any ideas? JamesStewart (874)
155842 2003-06-28 10:12:00 Well thats a pretty impressive card you have there :p

Is it only happening with half life? No other programs?

Try installing half life again, into a dif directory. You may have some corrupt files etc.

155844 2003-06-28 11:51:00 Audio is on the mother board (we have a P4P800 Deluxe Ausu). I have tried running it under Open, Direct and software, all with the same result. I have updated the motherboard (BIOS and software), video drivers are the lastest... JamesStewart (874)

If it happens with software rendering then its probably not the graphics card .

Try having a play with some of the sound settings . esp . turning off EAX/A3D (I think half-life supports it) .

Do you have the latest half-life (& CS if your using it) patch installed?
