Crowbar problems

[GFreak11]

Hey. I just started playing HL2 again, but this time, my crowbar won't break through anything. I can see the spots where it hits, but nothing is actually breaking, so I am stuck right after Barney throws it at me. What can I do?

 

[Barney Fife]

you can only breake some boxes and all boxes...keep trying though and break everything you come accross.

Good Luck.

So normal crates and stuff aren't smashing like they're supposed to?

 

[haggis-cream]

Do you hear all the normal smashing sounds?

Easy with the double posting Haggis, tis frowned upon here mate. Anyway, as for the crowbar, be a bit more specific, what exactly are you trying to break, crates in general or something a bit larger/stronger that you can't usually break with the crowbar ?

I'm trying to break the planks blocking the doorway right after Barney gives you the crowbar, just before starting route kanal. It's after A Red Letter Day. I've tried to break some other boxes and things in the area but nothing is breaking. I can hear the sounds and see the damage, but nothing actually falls apart.

Very odd
Maybe some corrupted gamefiles?

Maybe a patch would fix it? Or is everything already up to date?

Are you continualy hitting it?

Yeah, you have to hit it two to three times in a row.
