Have a simple question for people who played HL2 on medium level cards (like Radeon 9800 Pro)
Does HL2 have shoddy pixel shading effects on weapons? On my graphics card the environment shading effects are fine (All nice and shiny
). But on the weapons it's a different story, the shader effects seem to appear and disappear on the fly.
Example
The nice & shiny crowbar
The ugly HL1 type crowbar: Same effects, same game, didn't change any settings
Same example for the grenades:
Working properly (notice the effects on the gloves)
Ugly grenade, no shader effects - happens on the fly when character moves
I noticed the same problem playing the game last year. The pixel shader effects on the Mother Ant-queen and the alien hover ship either didnt appear at all or appeared at certain parts only (like the back of the ship was shiny, the rest had no shading effects).
So is this a problem with the game or is something wrong with my graphics card?
Thanks
