Cool graphics bug (screenshots)

[Mutley]

Playing through HL2 again, was in Ravenholme and shot a barrel, it locked up for about 10 seconds then it looked like this:

 

[Rapstah]

That looks like something out of F.E.A.R.

 

[giant384]

dang looks more like something out of silent hill. have you tried validating your hl2 files?

1.Lol, the 3 first pics make it seem, like it's meant to happen, with a screwed up face like that getting closer and closer.

2.The third pic is actually scary...

3.what's up with your SMG in pics 3-4? Same for the hand. Did it come after the freeze, with the bug?

4.Are you by any chance playing on low settings? Just judging by the lack of reflections and shine on the handgun in pic 5. Not that it has anything to do with this...

The SMG turned like that after the freeze, don't know what is wrong with it, looks like texture is messed up.

I'm running all High, 4x AA, 16x AF, Reflect All, 1280x1024 (screenshots resized to 1024x768).

Looks like the burnt body texture file...

 

[Rapstah]

Happened to me in Gmod just now.

Graphics glitches like these creep the hell out of me for some reason...if I got one I'd probably immediately close the game or reload a file.

EDIT: And like Cheomesh said, that grid with scary face looks like the texture file for the "mutilated body" you sometimes see lying aroudn.

 

[Ridge]

I nearly filled my pants at that 3rd pic...

 

[Bug-eyed Earl]

This is one extremely surreal event, cherish it. If you put soundtrack to eraser-head behind those pictures, I'm sure it would make it even better.

 

[CyberPitz]

Man, creepiest glitch ever.

 

[Acepilotf14]

It's like Valve was just wainting for someone to find this, and made it into a screamer.

 

[MJ12]

so confusing, so this happened when you shot an explosive barrel? Did the picture expand or something?

Looks like the burnt body texture file...

Definately is.

 

[Pinkle]

Hahaha, damn that's awesome/scary/funny/scary. I love how it happened in Ravenholm, too.

Edit: The third pic is now my wallpaper.

 

[Operational]

Looks like some pointers got screwed up in memory. The light beams texture must now point to the burnt body one or something.

 

[Cheomesh]

IIRC isn't HL2's light prerendered? Don't recall dynamic lights in HL2 at all.

how can you tell if its dynamic or not in a still picture??

 

[soulslicer]

holy cow, that is an awesome glitch

 

[Pinkle]

Actually, it reminds me of when my hubby was playing Oblivion and he killed someone and instead of blood, bricks splattered onto the wall.

 

[Laivasse]

'Glitch'? This is not a glitch, Mutley, it is a warning. You have been marked...

/walks away down an alley, laughing all echoey

 

[Beerdude26]

Seems like the cubemaps are hopping in and out of existence or something like that lol

 

[wildchild730]

im gonna have ****in nightmares.

 

[Cheomesh]

Well, you *could* play the game, but that's just me.

 

[xvillanx]

That looks like something out of F.E.A.R.

Shut up you silly old man:frown:

 

[Ridge]

Shut up you silly old man:frown:

Shut up you nooby.

 

[kacation_man]

man... i wish cool gliches happen to me, i only get stupid gliches that keep the game playable, but annoying.

 

[xvillanx]

how is that cool ? its ****ing disgusting

 

[Sudano]

Did valve actually take a picture of a dead burnt body for that texture?

 

[Iron_cube]

I don't think so. Photoshop makes wonders.

Although the maggots do look kind of real :O

 

[xvillanx]

I rekon they used mouthwash .

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]

Depending upon its size you might want to resave it as a JPG, using a program like Photoshop or IrfanView.

Then use a website like http://imageshack.us/ to host it on a website - it will give you code to copy and paste into your reply.

 

[Sgt.Tibbs]
