Hi,
One of my PC's has had this problem now for a long time and so I thought I would try and get some help.
The PC is a pentium 200Mhz running with a Diamond monster 2(voodoo2) graphics card. Although I know that is unimportant. Basically you start playing half-life and depending on what resolution you use, after 1-2 minutes it will hang and any sound playing at the time will loop over and over. I say depending on resolution because the higher the resolution, the quicker it hangs. This did happen with Quake 2 for ages and so I installed every patch as they came out and after a few months one of the patches worked. Quake 2 suddenly started working fine.
I have tried all the patches for half-life but still no luck. The problems seems to be CPU related as I can swap the P200 for a P120 and the game will run forever with no problems(although obviously pretty slowly on a P120).
Does anyone have any ideas? I've looked all over the place but can't find anything. I did find someone having the same problem but they had no ideas either. I'm missing out on some Half-life multiplayer action here.
Thanks in advance.
