| Post subject: | Half-Life2 Ep2 : disappearing bodies |
As some of you might know I recently bought "The Orange Box". And while HL2 & HL2Ep1 are both fine, HL2Ep2 bodies will vanish into thin air as soon as they are dead. It's a bit weird, sometimes when I throw big objects at them with the gravity gun I'm not even sure if they are dead already ... thanks. PS: already tried all 4 "violence" variables in the console to no avail. edit: I also just verified cache integrity. |

The Tweakgudies.com guy made an exceleltn tweak guide. Check that out for bodystay options. Also check the integrity of your game files via Steam. Or try an uninstall/reinstall. |

checked out the tweak guides already here : http://www.tweakguides.com/HL2_8.html and I couldn't find any command to get me out of my misery :?, tried a couple related to models & decals without any success already checked game files integrity through steam so I guess that only leaves uninstall/reinstall ... ho shit ! I hope I manage to only reinstall Episode 2 from the DVD & update only that one since my bandwidth is rather limited ... Thanks for the help though :) |

Don't reinstall, that won't change anything. Delete everything in "Steamsteamappsusernamehalf-life 2 episode two" and have steam redownload it. That is basically reinstalling without touching the gigabytes worth of game content (art, sound etc) |

Delete everything in "Steamsteamappsusernamehalf-life 2 episode two" and have steam redownload it. -I renamed the folder while Steam was not started, then start Steam -steam didn't start downloading anything -I clicked "play" -steam started the game. -I played a bit through the first level (since my savegames were gone) and the same problem arises as soon as anyone kill anything the corpse/body vanish into thin air... -I quit the game and notice the folder I renamed was recreated |

Steam finally replied that they unlocked the "less violence" flag for my orange box :shock: and that I should log off steam, relog & check the gcf files through steam Unfortunately upon steam startup hl2 ep2 is redownloading itself completely I don't really want to stop it since I'm now afraid to break something by installing it from the DVD... so I guess I'll just have to bear with that download stuff, I hope my gf doesn't kill me about the lack of bandwidth :? ho well at least I got company of heroes to keep me occupied now :mrgreen: |

Steam finally replied that they unlocked the "less violence" flag for my orange box :shock: That is actually what I thought it was, I couldn't find any reports of censorship of the OB in france though. Glad that you got it sorted! |

ok it works now unlike the announced 8~10 hours of download by steam download manager (@ an average of more than 80kB/s) it only downloaded 125MB in total :shock: I'm satisfied that I got help, however I still ponder why such information isn't easier to get ... plus it's totally ridiculous HL2 & Ep1 are full of blood, zombies & whatever creepy things/context without restrictions already :roll: |
