Half Life 2 graphics issue (Posted in forums to no result)
kintaeb | 11:43 PM on 01.05.2008 9 comments


Yes, I know that most people will say this belongs in the forums, but the forums suck.

I started playing HL2 on the Orange Box on my 360 about 3 weeks ago. I've played it on and off and it looked beautiful to start. When I got to Sandtraps I stopped and saved, then came back later. When I came back the ground was simply just patches of color with no texture. This also translated to blood splatters simply being squares of red and fires squares of color. This has continued into the "Entanglement" chapter and now my Crossbow is multicolored.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Have you tried clearing the 360 cache?

lol u bought a 360
kintaeb's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I just did today and nothing happened, just had to reinstall the update to the game.

Have you tried starting a new game? It could be a corrupted save file.
kintaeb's Destructoid Blog
No, it's been a struggle to get here, I think I only have 3 chapters after this one, so if it is indeed a corrupted file I'll just stick it out.

you can start a new game at any chapter you want, so you should try that at least

Try magnet therapy. Apply a powerful magnet to the side of your 360, and all your problems should disappear.

that happened to me, but I didn't keep going forward, I went back to where it started, you know how the game loads the next part in certain places, I just stepped back to the place I was before it loaded the next scene, it went away. If that makes any sense at all. make it reload, you'd probably have to go back to a save before it happened though!

 about me

I have nearly every Nintendo system that has ever come out, I'm basically a fanboy, but I got a 360 about 3 months ago. Since the Wii is just a dust magnet right now I basically play KotOR, Bioshock, and COD4.
