[HL2] Half Life 2 Tweak Guide
TweakGuides.com heeft een volledige en in-depth tweakguide gepubliceerd : http://www.tweakguides.com/HL2_1.html
PS: Moest dees al gepost zijn, sorry. Heb gezocht op "tweakguide", "guide" en "tweak", en het enigste dak vond was die guide van IGN die niet eens een guide genoemd kan worden.no votes

dit kan ook al helpen voor FX gebruikers..quick and easy...
hello all,
I have been reading these posts about running Half-Life 2
properly on FX cards ( meaning the DX-9 codepath, with all
the eye-candy ON ) and I was making some experimenting.
My conclusion is that YOU DON`T NEED to trick HL-2 into
thinking that is running on an ATI-card ( i.e. no Device-ID hack
is needed, and no, you don`t even need 3D-analyze to do it.
Here`s what I found:
Apparently if you force the DX-9 codepath on FX-cards,
(mat_dxlevel 90 variable) there are artifacts, it does not look
OK, so people are trying to run the ATI path.
So instead of doing this, just try the following:
In the game`s folder there is a dxsupport.cfg file ( \BIN ).
Just edit this file and find the entry for your graphics card:
For me this is entry looks like this:
"378"
{
"name" "NVidia GeForce FX 5900XT"
"VendorID" "0x10DE"
"MinDeviceID" "0x0332"
"MaxDeviceID" "0x0332"
"m_nDriverVersion_Build" "6177"
"DefaultRes" "1024"
"MaxDxLevel" "90"
"DxLevel" "81"
"NoUserClipPlanes" "1"
"ConVar.r_fastzreject" "1"
}
So it seems that the problem is with the last 3 lines, so you don`t have to re-write the Vendor-ID`s and those stuff. Just modify it like this:
"378"
{
"name" "NVidia GeForce FX 5900XT"
"VendorID" "0x10DE"
"MinDeviceID" "0x0332"
"MaxDeviceID" "0x0332"
"m_nDriverVersion_Build" "6177"
"DefaultRes" "1024"
"MaxDxLevel" "90"
"DxLevel" "90"
}
So basically you have to remove the last 2 lines and you have to force "DxLevel" to "90". That`s SIMPLE.
Now you just have to force the game to Re-read this file, I do this by switching between DX-81 and the DX-90 codepaths, like typing "mat_dxlevel 81" and "mat_dxlevel 90" in the console, or you can do it also by forcing any other card`s ID with 3D-analyzer ( can be any other ID, just make sure is different from your card ) then run the game normally - it should re-read the file and you should have the DX-9 codepath without the "think of my FX as an ATi 9800 Pro" -trick.
Oh and yes, of course you can now force mat_dxlevel 90 in your autoexec.cfg. Also don`t forget to add these:
cl_showfps 2
mat_dxlevel 90
mat_clipz 1
ai_disable 0
ai_norebuildgraph "1"
have fun everyone !!!
P.S.: thanks to everyone investigating these issues, especially Presi.
So the above described solution works works perfectly for me, hope it works also for you guyz.
Oh and by the way. I am using Foceware 67.02.no votes

Ik heb zelf een pentium 4 2.4 ghz, 512 mb ram en een geforce fx 5200. Werkt half life 2 dan bij mij? Far Cry (volledig) werkte op medium settings zonder enige framedrops. Ook als ik sommige settings op high zette werkte alles nog soepel. Doom 3 (demo) werkte echter erg haperachtig. Zelfs op low settings was er af en toe vertraging. Hoe zit het dan bij hl2??
