[HL2] Free movement is allowed during intro sequence

[Tweevle]

During the intro sequence with the Gman, I am able move freely around, and the Gman turns to follow my movement. I can even go behind him, so he faces away from the camera. I don't recall this happening before the SteamPipe beta? Some screens:

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541835321381749429/F4A8FA8BA343FD06537B7BB3E15DCEC3756970E0/

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541835321381753648/D500ECE99B23F268D09E1DC5F53AB0E58AAA5C3B/

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541835321381757906/A019D73A1467F80A7322AA4927FAE46EE746C879/

EDIT: This also happens during the first part of the end sequence, although not once you move into the dark area with the door:

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541835321382148612/C14AF70408FB77DE9090601318A4F07D71A10D88/

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541835321382155782/533B0D65BB7A2B3FC46B7EB54BE6378AF430940D/

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/541835321382152295/8AF741AD8CDA590B316068C51C9363787FDF91C2/

Ep1's intro appears to be unaffected, I haven't tested the Gman sequence in Ep2 yet.

Can you post the contents of your cfg/config.cfg here please, and your OS details.

[marnamai]

I can confirm this issue as well

[anticitizen]

I'm sorry for bumping the thread, but this interesting bug still occurs on my computer. Validating didn't help.

[alfred-valve]

Make sure you are opted into the beta, if you post the output of the "version" command here we can double check you are.

[anticitizen]

Yes, HL2 and EP1 both are opted into beta. EP2 is not installed. This is output of "version":

] version Protocol version 24 Exe version 1745010 (hl2) Exe build: 18:10:17 May 29 2013 (5317) (220)

I'm using Windows7 x64 system.

[alfred-valve]

Are you doing this from a save game or starting a new game? Try starting a new game.

[anticitizen]

Starting a new game. Because, my save games are far away from 1st level. At the very beginning of the game where you see Half-Life 2 title, if i press left or right movement buttons i hear walking sounds.

Edit: My steam language is set to Turkish. Maybe that's what causes the issue!?
