Ok problems. I downloaded Half Life for DC off of suprnova.org, the only download there. I have been getting white dots on the scenery and on the textures sometimes.. Also when I'm shooting at people it lags like a small second lag. Also the load screens are frequent and slow. Another thing is sometimes when i look around I get a jagged movement sometimes and some lag. Also when I move into different rooms sometimes it lags a bit.. split second lag. This sometimes happens when I hear noises.. And when I died and went to load last saved game it glitched and froze. Anyone else having these problems or is it just me? | |||

that's the norm, man. This happens to everyone. You just have to deal with it I'm afraid. I think someone said overclocking your dreamcast might solve the problem, but I amhighly against it. | |||

Ohhh It's a beta? I thought it was the final version before Valve decided to scrap the game all a sudden... Well considering its a beta I think it runs great. | |||

Actually, I don't think what you're experiencing is normal. I've played through both Half-LIfe and Blue Shift, and I haven't experienced most of what you're going through. I think there's a better glitch-free copy of it out there.
Yes, the game does load frequently, and the load times are a bit long, but it's the same for the PS2 version too, which I also have. I haven't experienced any in-game freezing or texture loss such as you're describing though, and my "last save game" option works fine. There were just a couple of instances where a drop in fram rate was noticeable, and that is when there was a lot of hell breaking loose on the screen at once. Other than that, my copy is glitch-free and runs flawlessly. I didn't download mine since I'm on dialup, so I don't have a definitive download source for you - I gave someone a couple bucks for mine. I have had good luck using emule for downloads though, so you may want to give that a try. That program seems to have a really good error checking routine in it. I have used it a bit, and I haven't had any problems so far. I really think you could find a better copy. |

My copy doesn't have any of those problem either. It just randomly crashes sometimes when I load the next area. I haven't had any problems with my save files either. I downloaded mine from that DC halflife website that doesn't seem to be up anymore. | |||

Man guys I don't know what to do, I would like a decent copy of the game.

Don't give up yet. Say, Is there any way to copy it directly from an existing burned disc? If so, I can send you a copy of mine since it works well. My copy has never crashed on me.
Just let me know. |

If so Chile, would you mind posting a link to it or sending it to me as well kingofgrills? | |||

downloading it all over again over 56k would suck for me | |||

i just got my copy of Half-Life in today.
View This Topic Game works great, except there are a lot of "LOADING" sequences and then it takes a while for the scene to load. I guess I can expect this from a CD-R, but it does get annoying after awhile. But I haven't ran into any glitches as of yet.[/b] |

That has nothing to do with it being a CD-R. Half-Life on Dreamcast was not a completely finished product. There are hitches here and there. Additionally, the Dreamcast version has multiple loading locations. It simply had to be done because of it's hardware limitations. | |||

My copy I got from WonderDog (bless his heart). Mine plays practically like a final release version, VERY sparse glitches, and I can usually get through a session without an issue.
Right now, Im still paying off a certain preorder for a certain game called Halo 2: SE, but when I get the opportunity, I can send out a few copies of the game for those of you stuck with inferior copies of your own. Just don't FLOOD me with requests, as my attention span may be diverted from you.  |
