You'll need to disable that add-on in order to use GameFAQs.Īre you browsing GameFAQs from work, school, a library, or another shared IP? Unfortunately, if this school or place of business doesn't stop people from abusing our resources, we don't have any other way to put an end to it. When we get more abuse from a single IP address than we do legitimate traffic, we really have no choice but to block it.
If you don't think you did anything wrong and don't understand why your IP was banned.Īre you using a proxy server or running a browser add-on for "privacy", "being anonymous", or "changing your region" or to view country-specific content, such as Tor or Zenmate? Unfortunately, so do spammers and hackers. IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse.
If you are responsible for one of the above issues. Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe.Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use".Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking).The plea: Ideally Valve should compile both LDR and HDR versions of the maps, so that they both look great in HDR without messed up skyboxes ( #572) and be playable in LDR.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: Open the console and type: mat_fullbright 0 The solution: I have a solution for fixing the lighting on the levels that DID look ok, until you launched a map that has this issue. Currently HL2 has some levels compiled with HDR that cause this issue and others with LDR that cause issue #572 The reason: I believe these levels have not been compiled with LDR. After loading such levels, if one attempts to load one of the normal looking levels, the lighting / shadows will be missing from those as well. There are probably more maps, I only checked the first one of each chapter. The levels in question the first maps of Black Mesa East, Highway 17, Sandtraps, Nova Prospekt, Entaglement. The issue: With HDR turned off in some levels the lighting / shadows are missing. New Game -> Try the maps that previously looked fine Point Insertion or A Red Letter Day or Route Kanal or Water Hazard. Bare with me as I explain how to reproduce this and what causes this.
