It's just unforgivably bad. It's patched up and everything, and my computer is way over the minimum specs, but it's a non-stop chugfest. Anytime I walk around and it's raining (e.g. every time you walk outside in the first hub) it slows to a crawl, to the point that it's frustrating to explore because if you take a wrong turn that's 2 minutes off your life while you try to turn around.


You meet the minimum specs, therefore it should run perfectly? You've been playing PC games for how long? You have to be above and beyond the recommended specs to get what you're apparently expecting. 2 minutes? The game maybe stuttered for a second or two every 45 seconds or so, and I'm running a 2.3 GHz.


P4 3.0Ghz, 1 GB ram, Radeon 9600XT video card, and I turned off everything except leaving graphics on Medium.

Is there some kind of benchmarking test I can run to see if something is going wrong?

It wasn't 2 minutes of chug, I just meant that going from place to place takes 2 minutes longer than it should because it stutters so goddamn much. The main thing was that the combat was just broken because of it. There was no way to take on more than one guy at a time because the framerate was so bad.

Also, as somebody else pointed out - HL2 had barely a glitch, and that was only in the audio.
