[Half-Life 1] Player physically freezing in place after singleplayer level transition

[UndeadScottsman]

I was told this issue has to do with the clockwindow function. Basically, after a level transition in singleplayer, Gordon will occasionally freeze in place shortly (but not directly) afterwards. You can even get stuck in midair. The game itself hasn't froze, just the player's movement. It doesn’t last long, but it does disrupt the flow of the game.

Turning “clockwindow” from “0.5” to “0” fixes the problem, but I’m curious if there’s a solution that could be put into the game as a default. I’m told this function has to do with preventing online cheating, would it be possible to disable the functionality in singleplayer games?

I'm running Half-Life in OpenGL mode at 1920x1080 with V-synch and everything turned up to max.

In Xash (possibly can be done similar in GoldSource):

void SV_ActivateServer( void ) { // tell what kind of server has been started. if( svgame.globals->maxClients > 1 ) { MsgDev( D_INFO, "%i player server started\n", svgame.globals->maxClients ); Cvar_Reset( "clockwindow" ); } else { // clear the ugly moving delay in singleplayer Cvar_SetFloat( "clockwindow", 0.0f ); MsgDev( D_INFO, "Game started\n" ); }

I'll remove clockwindow applying for single player games.
