Half-life question

PyroWolf

<div class="IPBDescription">(since new patch)</div>It seems like ever since the new patch for Half Life came, when ever I play, the game is choppy in motion.  It was doing great until that patch but I was wondering if this was happening to anyone else or if there is an (EASY) way of fixing the choppy play or... whatever.

I have somewhat the same thing.  Isn't that bad so I haven't tried to fix it, but you can check Planet Half-Life.

Well i get good fps but for some reason every now and again half crashes to desktop and evrything freezes, its very annoying. Have you tried the ati_npatch 0 thing yet? I worked for me from getting my poor 10 fps to a amazing 30 <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

I used the "-nocdaudio" parimator for Half Life and it seemed to have helped a bit with it, but where is this patch you speak of?  
(PS - ever since the patch, although it wasn't really -important- persay, but the sky off all the maps have gone all screwy, I can remember this happening in a TFC patch update with one of the maps, it's like that but on all of the normal maps is there something I can get to fix it like how there was one that fixed that TFC patch?)

Hmm... I remember reading something about fixing it over at www.firearmsmod.com, but Im too lazy to type it in the adress field in ie and check it out...

yeah, whats that nti_patch thingy?
if it boosted your fps like that I really need to know wtf it is!!

If you (like myself) had a ati brand card(such as radieon rage pro etc) and you downloaded the patch so you wouldnt overflow everytime you joined then you can use this.
When playing a game put in
ati_npatch 0
It fixes something or other and boost fps. Not sure if it always works tho

i think they put it in this new release regardless if you downloaded the ATI patch, I was checking my CS config and I think I saw it, but it was put to 1, I just put it to 0, and performance is exactly the same as with the previous version, 40 fps max <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Yeah, I have one of those ATI cards, now first off, input ati_npatch 0 in console?
second off, what patch are you talking about here?
a patch for the ATI graph cards or the hl patch?
if its a patch for the ATI graph cards could you please please please post a link cause ive been searching for those for a long time now...

If your computer was made by someone like Gateway or Dell, you get the patch off of their site.

If they didn't make the computer and/or you put the card in yourself, you can probably get the patches at <a href="http://www.ati.com" target="_blank">www.ati.com</a>.

the ATI HL patch si only needed if you get overflow messages in HL and it crashes
