set the texture quality to medium, most probably the problem will be solved .

ur prob is different , but if u hav a fx card u should try this

here is a method of forcing lower precision levels in the DX9 shaders used in Half Life 2, thereby boosting performance and fixing any water bugs visible on some Nvidia FX cards when DX9 is enabled. Just have the : 3DAnalyze util report your card as an ATI Radeon instead of a GeForce FX.


The method involves downloading this program: 3DAnalyze, installing it and launching it and then following these instructions:



1. Select HL2.exe file in half-life 2 folder

2. Select any file inside the folder half-life 2\bin

3. select Steam.exe than check these options:

- Under the section Pixel and Vertex Shader: FORCE LOW PRECISION PIXEL SHADER

- Under the section Remove stuttering: PERFORMANCE MODE

- on the bottom left: FORCE HOOK.DLL


Type in the section DIRECTX DEVICE ID'S the ATI Vendor and Device ID.
