Problem in Half-Life 2, I keep running into invisible wall..

Archived from groups: alt.games.half-life (More info?)

This may fall under the stutter problem that a number of folks seem to
be expereincing but I haven't seen it described in the particular way.

I'm running HL2 on a Pentium 2.3 with 2gb ram and an ati 9550 card.

Several times I expereince a problem when walking or running. I will
slam into an invisible wall, whci I can not go around or jump over.
However, if I back up a few steps and then go forward, I go on past.

Also if I stop for a few seconds, sending no keystrokes to the game, I
can then go forward without backing up.

So, It appears to be a problem with the keyboard buffer size or
process. I have no sound stutters or video stutters - Just the
invisble wall.

Any suggestions?

Well, it looks like it was a keyboard issue. I went out and bought a
new keyboard and it sems to have solved the problem.

Strange - I wasn't having any other problems with the keyboard but it
was a few years old.

Thanks for the suggestion - It got me thinking away from the
stuttering issue...
