Half-Life 1.0.1.3 Update

3D driver information

If you are using hardware acceleration (a 3D video card) while running Half-Life, make sure you are using the very latest drivers for your particular card. Even if you purchased your 3D card (or the computer it came installed on) recently, it is likely your card manufacturer has updated drivers since you made your purchase.

Below is a list of major 3D accelerator manufacturers, and the chip sets they use. Find the chipset used by your 3D card model in the list below, then link to the manufacturer's site to download the latest drivers. If you don't know which chipset your card uses, check The Adrenaline Vault for a listing.

We are working closely with these vendors and will update this page frequently with the latest information on any known issues. Check back often, or call the manufacturer directly if you continue to have problems running Half-Life.
