Ok, well I already posted on the steam forums but there to stupid to help me on it, so seeing that this is back up you guys seem to be able to help just as well. I'll say the exact same thing I did on the steam forums. Please help!

Hi, I got the orange box, and all that good stuff, to find out a little bug with some of the games. Half life 2 works fine, I already had that, but then when I start up Half life 2 Episode 1, I see on some parts wireframe stuff, the white outline. Further into the game it just gets worse and worse, and there are missing textures to, the purple and black squares. Until I can see through all walls in a stairway and it's almost impossible to play the game. Most of the time the wireframe is around things like AR2 muzzle flashes, and blast things like that, and the purple is around like combine explosions, but sometimes the wireframe is around just walls for no reason, half the time the walls are there, and the other half it's just the wireframe. This happens for Portal some too, like on the elevators if you look up, then there are wireframe boxes going around the top light. And on HL2:EP2 it happens also, but not as bad, mostly wireframe on a few parts, but on a couple of buildings there are huge missing textures on the walls. I do have Windows Vista and all of my drivers have just been updated. Thanks for any help. Note, this does not happen in Team Fortress 2, probably because it has no combine materials.

Oh my god!!!! Half life 2 now!!!?!?!?! Heres what the console has to say about it (The entire thing is filled with all those red error things, all the way scrolling up).

Your file is corrupt.

4. PROFIT!

Thats all I wanted ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Googling would have solved that problem easily. And don't tell me it wouldn't have worked, because I've had this problem and have successfully googled "Half life 2 missing textures" at some point and before posting messages.

I swear on my life, there needs to be a rule: Do not post something if its easily answerable by google.

Morons.
