Half-Life 2: Episode 2 Tips

Workaround for startup crashes

If Episode 2 crashes on startup on Macs, it usually helps to start it in dxlevel 80 instead of the default 81. You can do so by adding "-dxlevel 80" to the game's startup options in Steam The problem is caused by a bug in the Leopard graphics driver. We have seen the issue on ATI cards, but got reports that it affects some Nvidia cards as well. We have isolated the issue and reported it to Apple. We'll make a better workaround available soon.
