when i had esf before a week it was runing great but i had some problems with connection and my files wer everywhere some of them had errors and some just being there for no reason so i decided to reinstall windows and make everything in order and i did and i didnt install anything just important stuff and hl-steam-esf was first game i installed the first time i run it in the main menu was great but when i started to play i had this weird lagg, mouse didnt go smooth when i was turning it and my keys didnt respawn sometime and i keep flying in 1 direction for sec or 2 and movie wasnt smooth even do latency was 40 when i got in serv i had 60 ping...i got pentium 4 1.7 ghz, 640 sdram geforce fx5500 256mb,cable internet 3mb/s.
So i tryed some commands like: rate 2500,cl_updaterate 55 and 101,cl_cmdrate 55 and 101,fps_max 120. Nothing happend maybe a lil increase but still laggy keys,mouse movement and swooping.
So i whent on nvidia 2 get the latest driver for my graphic card i installed it and i pressed on esf icon and when i got in menu i got this weird sound it was like lagging and if i pressed quit or joined in any serv i got total crash my comp restarted...than i had to reinstall esf or i whould keep crashing.after that i tryed many other drivers and i got nothing same stuff it runs with laggy keys if i change in graphic anything like from single to copy screen or update driver i get weird laggy sound and if i press quit or join i get total crash

Does this only happen on ESF? how about normal Half-Life?

I don't think it can be an ESF only problem.
If it also happens on Half-Life you might want to try the Steam website too.
The forums there can be pretty useful aswell.

You should check your sound card too.
I heard some people had a problem with my sound card in Half-Life 2, where if I choose certain speaker settings the game can lag and restart the computer.
I don't know if that also affected Half-Life 1, but it's worth checking if you run out of other ideas. :)

half-life runs ok no lagg no nothing.
my setting in esf was always the same 1024x768, opengl, sound is high and i had bouth boxes checked, in multiplayer i have fx high, beams high.
with those setting it never lagged for me.
Btw whats the best settings for cable internet: rate cl_rate cl_cmdrate cl_updaterate....?

Seems to me ilke Latency lag. Are you sure you didn't have any traffic in the background while playing ESF? Like downloading a file and similar.

I don't think that OpenGL can be downloaded. Just update your drivers, or maybe install an older version. Who knows, might just work. If the problem is in OpenGL, that is.

No i ment packet loss. It makes you lag even if you dont have a high ping.

Basicly said the information you send to the server is lost and you have to resend it. It doesnt make the connection slower so your ping stays low but due to the resending you start to lag.

You should check for packet loss with the net_graph 3 option.

Hehe tell me about it i ran it with 15 FPS on my old PC. But its still a little low for your PC specs :s

Well if it isnt packet loss or drivers. Maby its a thirdary program (A.K.A. spyware)

Sorry but thisone has me stuned.

Are you sure you are using Steam?
It's just that I don't even see the "3Dfx Mini Driver" option in the Steam version Half-Life...
(although the driver is included in "Half-Life\gldrv\3dfxgl.dll", and listed in the driver map file... never understood that.)

Yeah, I was certain he was...
I just wanted to know if there was some hidden option he could see to use the 3Dfx mini GL driver. :)

hmm do you think maybe its problem on my second disk.
I got got 2 disks wich are fused togather XD
on 1 wich is smaller 15 gb i got just windows no other programs and on other one wich is 80 gb i got programs games and all other crap.
So when i deleted windows i just formated disk where windows is (C: disk)
and on second disk ( D: disk) i just erased the files that wer installed i left the zip,installer,pictures,movies...so i didnt formated disk D.
and i always deleted all C and D and it worked great.
And i have ESF installed like this D:\Leonardo Files\Games\Steam.....
I had even D:\Steam... and it didnt worked before always worked no matter where i put it.

Maybe i should install on C disk...

Today i tried overclocking:
Core clock frequency - 300
Memory Clock frequency - 420

on the begining of playing i got 40-50 than it go back to 40-30
