Improved compatibility for Half-Life 2: Episode

Just in time

So far at the very least Call of Duty including the expansion & COD 2 (Via Steam) finally starts up and plays very well.

The last 3 or 4 betas would not allow me to play either of them.even when using xpsp2 compatibility mode.

Nice timing for HLE2 also.

How about posting a link to that guru3D site. I've been reading about the 163.76 for XP 32Bit, but I can't find where to download that driver set.

I hear the 163.76 for XP 32Bit is an impressive driver for speed, too!

Please, post a link?

EDIT:

Oh heck! I just found them:

Here's the link: nVIDIA Geforce 8800 8600 7950 7900 7600 GT GTX AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT x1950 x1900 2400 2600 XT Pro - Guru of 3D: PC Hardware Reviews News

I was at first going here: Team Guru - Guru3D's Multi-Gaming Clan and tried clicking on that guru3d link near the bottom, but I was getting nowhere. I decided to just type in guru3d.com and BINGO.

See this is where it falls down for Valve .. the day its released it will be Cracked and torrented ... a lot of people will grab the torrent being to impatient to wait another week , these people probably wont buy the game

but if it was a simultanious Eu ,Usa (everywhere else) relese then people would probably buy it so they could play it immediatly and there would be less torrenting

stop treating the Eu like a second class country and have a sigle release for all countries
