Half-Life 2 RTX

Half-Life 2 RTX

New patch stops game from loading on AMD cards
The original release worked fine on my 9070XT but the latest patch has broken it for AMD. The game gets stuck at the loading assets screen and has to be forced closed via task manager. Tried a completely fresh install but the problem remains.

I doubt if the devs will care since they seem to be fully focused on Nvidia but just pointing out this issue.

Same here with my RX 7600
7900xtx same issue
this is not intentional the devs should fix it the devs are non funded they would do this on purpose if they dont see this post try communicating with them on twitter or other platforms where they are
10 sec to press ALT + X / Compiling Shader, 600-900 and crash

RX 9070 XT
Have the same problem with my RX 7700 XT.

Also stuck in the loading screen with a 9070 XT.

Lol same here. This is clearly an Nvidia sponsored game so what can we expect...on purpose or not this is still incompetence and shows they do not care for AMD users.
Same on 9070 XT. Loading screen, crash.
This game does not officially support AMD video cards at all. When the developers release patches they are not concerned if it breaks the game for AMD users. If it works after a patch then be happy. If it's broken after a patch then you shouldn't be complaining as it's not supposed to be able to work on your video card(s) anyway in the first place.

I bet there would be huge uproar by Nvidia fanboys if there was a game that was exclusively worked on AMD cards.

If what you say was true then they should have put a big disclaimer on their store page that states that it's for Nvidia RTX only. And also why not also put in a gpu check at the start which blocks the game from starting.

The fact is that all the other RTX remix games work just fine on AMD and Intel cards so why should HL2RTX be any different?

Since there is a problem with the latest patch, AMD and Intel owners have the right to post about the issue so that the devs are made aware of it. They can then make a statement like your BS post if it actually is an Nvidia exclusive game.

Most of your problems are about AMD hardware and software support so you really need to ask them. Even Nvidia owners have a minimum driver support version. You need Intel and AMD to get you drivers because it isn't what the modders do. This wouldn't even have DLSS if it weren't effectively free thanks to RTX Remix. The modders will certainly be able to fix some things but a lot of it is reliant on RTX Remix doing it's job. Until the final release I'd expect varying levels of this working. Maybe it won't work at all, maybe it'll be impossible to crash. Going to be step by step.

They already did that: The system requirements clearly states it requires only an Nvidia RTX video card and it says RTX in the title of the game.

If it just so happens to also work on AMD then consider yourself lucky. If it doesn't work on AMD or did work in the past and doesn't work now then tough cookies: That's how the cookie crumbles.

Lol, nowhere does it say Nvidia only or that AMD/Intel cards cannot play the game. Just because it's made using RTX Remix does not make it proprietary.
