Yo,
I found this method on an Israeli gaming forum [www.3dv.co.il]
It worked for me, so what the hell !
------------------------------------------------------------------
It says that Half-life is using an outdated opengl driver..

ATI Graphic Card Users :

Nvidia Graphic Card Users :

Download these files according to your computer,
these files should replace the file called "3dfxgl.dll" in your GLDRV folder
[Usually -> C:/Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/username/Half-Life/gldrv]

1.) Download the file
2.) Rename it to "3dfxgl.dll"
3.) Copy it to your gldrv folder, replace the old one with the new one
4.) do not touch the text file , it is most important.
5.) Restart steam, you're good to go!

Damn man, thanks a lot!

I get almost dynamic 100 fps in ecx, while being on normal cam mode, and swooping, i get 50, earlier only 30, but i use cam_idealdist 300 anyways, so it stays almost at 100 in all times!

I never can get it upper than 100, without putting developer 1 to console.
In cs, this works more awesome, more smoother, Smoke Grendes won't decrease fps by 40 anymore. :)


Once again, thanks.

Raven - It's not a wallhack dll or something,
it's the official opengl drivers from the newest nvidia/ati drivers that are on their site..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
no problem legendary =]
also, no-one can get more than 100 fps without using developer 1 :]

a glow wrapper is also not a wallhack, but it's detected by VAC, just one question did you try to play on line VAC servers ?

What I meant was that you shouldn't trust things like this, without at least researching it first. My guess is that you didn't research the differences between the two DLLs, or how VAC interacts with them, did you? It just wouldn't be surprising if you got banned is all I'm trying to say.

Personally, I don't care enough about the little difference this is going to make, so I'm not going to waste my time doing the research, and thus I'm not going to use it.

I doubt anyone will get banned for using this, and if someone does, email Valve explaining the situation.

I've been using this for 5 years..
though even without this fact
I still HONESTLY doubt that official ati/nvidia [leading companies] drivers can get you banned

Oh my god, you have a X1900XT AND YOUR LOOKING FOR MORE FPS???

Dude, that card plays Oblivon maxed out no problem, and you are trying to get better FPS in a 1998 engine?

HOly **** the world has desended into chaos.

Guys, if you have anything better then a Geforce4 MX then YOU DON'T NEED THIS!

DOn't risk getting banned people, VAC DOES communicate with your system files, and it WILL notice if your using a modified 3dfx.dll. WHY DO YOU THINK VALVE DIDN'T UPDATE THE FILE THEMSELVES? THEY ARN'T STUPID, THEY KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES!

Alright listen puppies..
First of all, I only posted this thread because I know ESF is quite the heavy game and NOT-FPS-FRIENDLY!
I'mt not forcing ANYONE to use it, if you get 50 fps and would like to get 99, you're welcomed to use this
I've been playing ESF since 1.1 with this method,
and counter-strike since 1.3
If I didnt get banned till now, I honestly ever doubt it will ever get me banned

The following will not trigger a VAC ban:

* Using chat programs like X-Fire
* Playing multi-player mods which do not modify core .EXE and .DLL files
* System hardware configurations
* Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers
* Playing with custom skins
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found this at the steampowered site.
but then I realized another thing
If you dont trust it, dont use it lol



I COULDN'T CARE LESS :D :D :D :D :D :D

Modifying Half-life system files isn't on that list buddy.

I am to assume that my Radeon X1900XTX >> Your 7950.
also ,
I assume that this thread was meant for people who needs it,
so whats the problem with you all , if you have enough fps, just ignore the thread.
what the hell.
You're bunch of noobs anyway, ****in annoying.

And my 8800 GTS >>>> your x1900XTX and my penis is bigger than yours. Let's play nice, shall we?

If it works, there's no reason to not use it. Many of the people who still play ESF have aging rigs, so they'll definitely need any help they can get. I remember reading this on some random board I went to when I was trying to get my fx5200 to not suck a few years ago, so it's legit if that is what's worrying everyone.

it's fine.

i used it for a little while, it works fine, not a problem at all with the ATI one >) infact i highly suggest it for people playing in a highier ping than 80 ms, it will make your life easier if you dont like it after trying it you can alway's put your back up! copy back.
but at least you know it's safe :yes: o_O
