Question:
Halflife 2 Episode One ridiculously slow
Halflife 2 Episode One is running really slow. Halflife 2 ran great at native resolution (1440 by 900) and full settings.
In Episode One I went as low as 1024 by 800 and still it was very very slow.
Help!!!!

Re: Halflife 2 Episode One ridiculously slow
Its a more demanding game, one big diffrence is Episode 1 uses HDR while the first one diffrent. You can find a tweak guide for it and turn off HDR probably and try to use Bloom instead.

Re: Halflife 2 Episode One ridiculously slow
No matter, my comp can still play episode 1 on full settings, so a 7700 should definetly be able to aswell. That is, unless they programmed it that much towards ATI, hehehe...

Re: Halflife 2 Episode One ridiculously slow
it'd have been better to post your average fps instead. anyway, run a video test in half-life 2:lost coast, it's as demanding as episode one and it should give your average fps. however i believe the HDR is the reason, so try to turn it off to see if it makes huge difference

Re: Halflife 2 Episode One ridiculously slow
well.......my average fps is 9
lost coast ran the same way
games like C&C 3 run on full settings
HL2 runs perfectly on my freinds gig which has a 7600 256MB

There should be absolutely no reason, that your computer can not run Half Life 2 Episode 1. I run it at 1280X800, HDR, High Graphics. And my FPS never bump beloe 65. IMO, reinstall Half Life 2:E1, or maybe it is because you are running XP. I really dont know to tell you the truth. I know Vista made about a 15 FPS difference with my machine.
