A note on
PlanetHalf-Life (thanks BFSolo) from yesterday indicates that Valve is now
anticipating the release of the no stuttering patch for Half-Life 2
(story) sometime today: "We're still working through some testing
on this release. It might be something we'll want to hold for another day and
release tomorrow."
Well, I am on the prison level... hopefully I am only halfway through the game. It would suck if I played through the entire game with this bug. I mean, the stutter issue has been a pock mark on an otherwise beautiful game.
