Hello everyone! I have always wondered something and wish for someone to fill me in. Not just HL2, but games in general, what are the symptoms of a scratched disc other than skipping, stuttering, and freezes? Will several small scratches cause other small glitches like artifacting? Of course, I'm talking about console games and I guess it could be applied to the Xbox version of HL2 as well as other PC games without a NoCD patch. I know. This is a HL2 forum, but you guys are gamers either way, so I figured someone here could provide me with an explanation. Anyhoo, even with a cool system/console and all the latest updates, I still notice some artifacting in some games, that's why I'm asking. Thanks!
