game is 1.2 I am downloading nvidia's latest now

I don't think it's my video card, since I completed the tutorial without any problems! I tryed it on safe mode, and many other combinations without any effect... i have an ATI Radeon 9800 PRO but it is defective (major graphic errors, but still works) maybe that's my last hope here is a screenshot: http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/9272/textures0lm.jpg

Not that I am an expert or anything...But your graphics card does not meet the requirement needed to play this game. That might the answer to your graphics problems. You need minimum a Geforce FX 5700 or a ATI Radeon 9500 Pro to run the game properly. (And to all you 'I ran it without problems on a *place name here*-card that was lesser then what was the specified minimum requirements'. Good for you....) thanks for the reply, but I get 70fps on half-life 2 at maximum settings performance is not the issue, but the missing textures.

Hello! I just installed AS and played the tutorial without problems... but at the mission where you get the first base territory, all characters are white, as if the texture files for them are not there... the trees and other objetcs appear as a bunch of polygons without texturization as well... at the second or third mission where you need to escort the mutants/cyborgs, everything is black!! the only thing that's there are the HUD, buttons etc... i can't see anything, as if the lights were out! what can i do about it? i'll post some screens later my video is NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 (DirectX 9.0c) thanks is advance.
