so episode two runs perfectly on my computer. it can have hdr and motion blur, basically the works. But when it comes up to the point where alyx is getting healed by the vortigaunts, and the G-man comes on it lags like 5 fps. Once i get past that to the next loading point it runs smoothly again! Im going to do that bit again and see if it runs smoothly. But if any one has any advice or knows how to fix it that would be great.
btw i played it again but with the lowest graphics and it still runs slowly.

Have a look on the Steam forums, or www.Halflife2.net/forums forums, this is a known problem for some

Episode two runs great for me as well, except for the same place. When G-man comes on and looks around for a while then my PC freezes. I haven't got past that point. I think what I'm going to need is a "SAVE" on the other side of the video. (

you guys do understand i posted a fix to this problem right?
