Only problems I have seen

I'm running crossover-pro 6.1

I have to say, the game runs pretty well -- good job on crossover guys.

But, for cleanup items here are two:

  • Slowness (major lag) in certain scenes. The one that comes to mind is at the beginning, when you walk out of the train station into the big open square with the video monitor propaganda and the citadel visible behind it... I remember there it really slowed down. Must be some functions still not implemented in hardware, but rather software rendering (I have a amd 3800+ X2 and a Nvidia 6800 GS card -- it shouldn't be slow!)
  • Distance backround (not sky, just one step less than "infinity") like buildings and hills or mountains rendered in blue, green, red or yellow or sometimes looked right depending on what angle I was aiming cursor at them. So say, when I was completely level (0 degrees to horizontal), I would get the correct mix of colors and the hills would look brown but if I moved say 1-5 degrees up, they would all turn red, say 5-10 degrees up blue, and 11-15 degrees up yellow... This was prevalent throughout the game (restarting didn't help)
    [edit, thought of one more] - Occasionally the audio would go berserk (using oss) usually around a point where the game was loading a new map (loading...) when it came back, once or twice throughout the game, the audio would sound really bad - I could still make out sounds, but there would be bad backround noise and known sounds were all digitized-sounding and garbled. Shutting the game down and restarting helped.
  • Mouse: sometimes when a lot was going on, and I think when I would use the Alt key + some key (as the alternate fire mode -- can't remember what all buttons I was pressing) I think my window manager would allow the mouse to move the HL2 window around a little bit. Whenever that happened, aiming in the game would go nuts -- Usually the view in the game would be facing the ceiling (straight up) and spinning wildly. Sometimes hitting ESC (for the game menu) and then "Resume Game" would help.
