April 1, 200322 yr Just for the sake of time, I'm just going to cut+paste my comment for CD 2.5 Oddly enough, my problem is contrary to Transatlantic Faux's. With Cheating-Death (especially the new release, which I just downloaded and tried today), my graphics lag horribly, dropping my already horrible 30 FPS to a barely "playable" sub-20 FPS level. With HLGuard, I noticed that my computer lags for a few seconds (at most, 10 seconds) after I join, which that time I usually wait for the scan to pass. Afterwards, its absolute smooth sailing with HLGuard. Besides, I'm pretty sure HLGuard is more effective than C-D (seeing as much of the HL modding population, other than FA, uses HLGuard at THE anti-cheat solution). Even worse, I read that to use C-D, VAC must be disabled; in short, this means that there is still only one level of protection, while the add-on HLGuard provides a second-level defense. Furthermore, C-D bans are not global, while VAC bans are enforced on ALL VAC-running servers - repeat offenders need not think of playing Half-Life again.Just some of my thoughts.Fireball If any of you have been wondering why I havent been able to play, I hope this is reason enough.Sorry guys, but with CD, my game is next-to-unplayable until I get a new CPU or GFX card (running Nvida TNT2 Rage Pro)Fireball

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling HL and Firearms? Do you have the latest video drivers? Have you gone to www.unitedadmins.com and looked to see if someone else has a similar problem? Try these things first and get back to me on the results, and we will see what we can do.

April 7, 200322 yr If my opinion matters, This C-D is working much better, however the glitch where it kicks you in between maps gets slightly annoying
