A Question About The Source Engine And HL2 Beta Mega Patch

[SimplyGamingYT]

Answer This Please : Why Does My Resolution Change When I Start Any Source Engine Game? My Resolution Is 1920 x 1080 I Think It Changes To 800 x 900 But I Don't know. Also I Am Using A Toshiba Laptop With A Intel Inside Core i7 Graphics Card. (I Don't Know Much About Computers So That Might Not Even Be A Graphics Card.) This Is Unanswered I Don't Think It Ever Will Be Answered.

My Next Question Are What Are Some Broken Things About The HL2 Beta Mega Patch.
What I Mean Is What Are Some Things That Are Just Broken And Don't Work And Maybe Can Be Fixed.
This Has Been Answered Look In The Replies For Answer.

For the first question I really have no answer. Something similar happened with me, but it affected HL1's res. It may as well be a compatibility issue.

As for the second one, the things that are still broken are:
- The water reflections. They don't really work well and like to glitch out.
- The game will crash during a level transition if you've been caught by a Barnacle.
- The game will sometimes crash during a level transition if you saved your game on a map with physic props.
- The game will sometimes crash during a level transition because it can.
- The laser-sight on the Rocket Launcher will sometimes not work and you won't be able to steer your rockets.
- Shooting moving striders [On maps like e3_c17_02 or e3_strider] will make them stop in their track.
- Scripted sequences can be janky as hell but that's really a problem with the overall beta itself just being, well... a beta.

All of these are fixable, but it will take time before that's done. VXP [The guy who made the Leaknet patch included with the Mega Build] still has a life to take care of.

Ok Thanks For Letting Me Know!

I know it's out of date this post but, replacing this broken things like: water reflections, laser-sight on the rocket or scripted sequences. can be done by giving them code from retail?
