Dissapearing Corpses

[jomtones]

This started happening recently in my HL2 - soon as I shoot an enemy dead they vanish, not sure why. Is there some sort of code I can enter to stop it happening?

this probably isnt helpful, but if you were killing em with secondary fire of hte pulse rifle its meant to do that.

Does it really matter?
I can't help you though friend sorry. Maybe unistall then reinstall, or verify integrity of game chache?

I think the game writes a certain script for how your machine performs with the game... maybe your comp would lag like hell if they didn't disappear? i dunno man...

For about 1/2 days, whenever I played Gmod or Half-Life 2, the same thing would happen to me, don't know why. Eventually it just stopped. When did it start?

Corpses disapear, because it has been done so in the game code. When you put an entity in a map, you can set a flag so the copse will fade or not. By default it is set to fade to avoid having a lot of unused entity to be handeled by the engine. It has been done to keep a good framerate on average PCs. In some game engine you can set the fading of corpses as you wish, in Call of Duty if i remember well you can do it.
