i know this has been asked before but i couldnt find any serious answers
i downloaded the full and the lite installers (multiple times) but both did not work
they always crashed at some point, reporting a write error. (no, my disk is not full, i have 2 GB spare)
i finally managed it to at least start by using the dedicated server b1.2 .zip file and patching that to b1.2.1 using the client patch.
now i can run the game and join servers but as soon as i start playing i have strange things on my screen which dont match the screenshots at all i also have framerate issues while playing (i.e. framerate goes down to 5spf (seconds per frame) and worse, even total freeze)
i think i'm probably missing some files and esf uses the default HL files for them...
does anyone have a clue on how to solve this problem? how to install it properly or fix my bugged install.
btw, I use Steam on Win2k SP3 and use the NTFS5 file system.
