    Ah, here you go.

    These are largely the default settings, except for the resolution and aspect ratio.

    I dropped it into windowed mode to get the screen-dumps and switch between windows.

    I'll play with the settings a bit more, tho.

    There's a screenshot there, as well. I have an 18.4" 1080P full-HD screen in this
    lappy, so it does look pretty good....

    @Katanyavich please post a screenshot with your video settings in the game.Thanks!
    Hmmm.... perhaps I'm missing something because my version of Half-Life 2 says Steam is required to play the game.... so if you have the "non" steam version, it's a warez version, and thus we don't support piracy here.


    All Half-Life 2 players on PC are required to have Steam installed and a valid account in order to play.

    The installation from the game disc for all Valve games prior to Half-Life 2 will no longer work. These games need to be downloaded and installed through Steam.
    Source: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_...1737-PGJN-6294. That basically says Half-life 2 is a Steam based game.

    And I know my game is Steam based as well, so yeah....

    Good luck.

    No Steam probably means someone butchered the game in an attempt to get it to work and broke it.
    Although a huge issue in and of itself, another problem is that you may have a few unwanted little presents hiding in your PC somewhere as well.

    As mentioned, we can not and will not help with issues such as this.

    Don't get up me, I had NO idea that it was/may have been pirated.

    But rest assured, I'll be having words with the person who sold it to me.......

    Ah, sorry, mate....

    I'm running .NET Framework 4 and Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable.

    I've no idea whether they are actually needed for the game, tho.....
