I'm getting a weird black block appearing around the mouse cursor, on the menu screen and in-game. Any idea why?

I was fiddling around last night to fix AA issues I was having and noticed Black textures over flags and stuff, and at a certain stage of some building constructions... I dunno if its related but try and set the Shader (not Shadow) Quality down to High or lower. That fixed it, it seems to be a bug in the demo. I don't know if this'll fix it for you, it did for me and my blackness issues, just until 'they' sort it out. (if this don't work its all I got, sorry hehe)

Love those jaggies on the guards sword on PIC 3. Just screams "Quality!". RIP Thief.

The monitor tab informs me that HL is ready to play. 15 seconds later it is updating again.The Steam off a my plop is far more enjoyable than this travesty of a program.

EXCLUSIVE: RETAIL CONFIRMS HALF-LIFE 2 SLIP!

Valve assurances looking shaky as UK retail informs of a late October release

19:28 Information received via e-mail from UK retailer GAME by customers who have pre-ordered Half-Life 2 at its online store has thrown a rather large spanner into the HL2 release date works, we can reveal.
Despite Valve Software's Doug Lombardi insisting: "The release date is unchanged" when we questioned last week whether Half-Life 2 would hit its original September 30 deadline, GAME has recently told its customers that the title will not arrive until November.

The email notice to customers reads:

"As you may already be aware, the UK release date for 'Half-Life 2' has changed to Nov-2003.

"Please don't worry, your order is still 'live' and will be despatched to you on the day prior to the revised release date, via your chosen method of shipping, unless you advise us to the contrary."

Speaking to us this morning, a spokesperson for GAME said: "The latest date we have for Half-Life 2 is late October, and that was the information we got through yesterday, but obviously the date could change again."

When we asked if GAME received the information from publisher Vivendi, we were told: "It comes direct from the publisher."

The GAME spokesperson went on to point out that customers had received the November date via e-mail because: "That [the e-mail] most likely went out to customers before we received this updated release date.

"We expect to have an exact release date at then end of the month, maybe," they said.

So what does Half-Life 2 publisher Vivendi have to say about this? Talking to the publisher's UK arm, we were told that the official line on Half-Life 2's release date is: "To be confirmed."

Just when the September 30 date looked safe, along comes this. Crunch time will be around the middle of the month, when many expect Half-Life 2 to go Gold, if it's to hit its original date. Unless, of course, Valve plans to release the game over its broadband delivery system Steam first...
