I recently re-installed HL2 out of boredom, but when I go to play it everything looks scrambled. Just like a cable channel on TV that is scrambled. This is my new Pc with an AMD X2 and SLI. I tried turning off SLI but no go and also set affinity to core 1, but also a no go. Any idea's? The sound is fine but I have to minimize to shut the game off as everything is scrambled. ???
Do you have WindowsXP 64? Because I heard Steam has (or at least had) some trouble with Win64. Though not as serious as you describe. Have you updated steam? (It should autoupdate whenever you open it up and be online.) Can you provide a screenshot?
you could use the PRINT SCREEN key on the keyboard or if you're using fraps you could press f10 while playing it www.fraps.com
Yes, the X2 drivers are installed. HL2 seems to be the only game im having a problem with. I played around for awhile, and now just the upper 25% of the screen is scrambled. Sound like an SLI issue?
Get this, I took a boat load of screenshots within the game while the scrambling was really bad, and when I got out of game to look at them they were perfect and did not contain any of the scrambling from the game. Im stumped.
