Half-Life 2 Chat Thread
Half-Life 2 chatting continues here. The game's been unlocked on Steam and showing up in stores, and so far the word is extremely positive. When discussing game events and story elements don't forget to use the SPOILER TAG.
In case you're having problems starting the game, check this post from Valve's Erik Johnson. There's a brief Valve Q&A about the game on the G4techTV site.
Update: Here are some notes kindly provided by the Valve guys in the comments here:

Update: Here are some notes kindly provided by the Valve guys in the comments here:
- A fix for the 'map version' error
- A note for SoundStorm owners
- A note on adjusting FOV
- A note about 'hitching' and adjusting sound quality
- A note about 'hitching' and adjusting texture quality
For example, here's two screenshots comparing how the canister should look (from hl2-kleiners_lab.exe):

vs how it looks on my machine (I'm running a Geforce 3):

Now, from what I understand, the liquid should be all purty and stuff as long as you have a DX8+ class card (or in other words, Geforce 3 and above).
Did I get it all wrong, or is there something wrong with my machine?
