I bought HL2 and CS:S today, and HL2 was a total problem. This is a common problem with the game, where everything just stutters, no matter what your computer specs are, even if you got the best computer out, it could still happen to you. I returned it today, very very angry and disappointed.

2 questions:

1. Anyone else had this problem?
2. Can you buy CS:Source on it's own?

This message is sort of like a warning to watch out when buying the game, and make sure you CAN return it if it stutters.

This is a real disappointment to me, as Valve shouldn't of even released the game without fixing this problem.

That is exactly what i did, as that's what it told me to do. I did that, and still stuttered like a beyotch. I looked through the net for the same problem, and tonnes of people have the same problem.

I dont have that problem, the only thing thats was wrong with HL2 for me was it kept crashing beacuse I didn't have the latest drivers.

It may well be... Maybe your computer is too GOOD to run it, it's choking as you play because it's not working hard enough. That's a common problem with games like this and top-end computers.

i think that's kinda useless. "i can run them all at the same time at ub0rfast speedz0rz" i run one game at a time so my 5950 is all i need
