Half-Life 2 Update -- 12:08 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Steam News has word of an update for Half-Life 2 to fix some sound stuttering problems and some other goodies. Here's the news:

This update will fix sound stuttering that users were experiencing that would last for longer than a few seconds during normal gameplay. This update will also eliminate this same behavior following a quicksave or autosave. There will still be a short pause while the autosave happens, but not the more drawn out stuttering behavior.

We are still investigating another performance problem on some hardware, which will manifest where the game is getting into a state where performance drops to less than 5 fps and does not recover or crashes.

Next week we will be releasing the Source SDK, along with a surprise for the community.

Thanks Blue's News.

In a related story, I noticed that GoGamer has Half-Life 2 for $34.90 and the Collector's Edition for $59.90. No affiliation, yadda, yadda.

Update! Not that you probably care, but I just ordered Half-Life 2. Now I just have to wait for it to get here and for Cedega 4.2 to be released to support it.
