Good question. Will I need a seperate account for each computer and if so, how do I go about setting that up? Does it mean buying the game again?

I had something similar and what fixed it for me was removing my graphics card drivers,then used driver clean to get rid of any old bits of driver and then re-installed them again. Problem solved....for me anyhow.

If you have tried any of the temp fixes before the patch came out, try removing them. ie in your launch properties or an autoexec file.

There have been loads of temp fixes that mostly do not work. However, setting HL2 as low priority via your task manager works perfectly for me and quite a few other people.

StSTSSSStssst...uuuttter bug You and thousands of others(including myself) have got the stutter bug. You will have to wait for a patch or try one of the many temp fixes found on this forum. Try the low priority fix, it certainly helps me.

I have just reformatted and lost my autoexec.The problem now is that when I make a new one it comes out as a text file and not a cfg like this autoexec.cfg text file What am I doing wrong?
