ok i get you so is there a way to make the zombies less effective visual wise and decrease the amount of onboard ram used when i look at them ?

I think there is a gore count or something where you can regulate how much gibs there are and the like.

can you explain more possibly even give me a step by step way to do so...

can someone please help i reli need it lag when faces the zombie models in opengl not so much in d3d and but still enough to make the game rubbish and software mode goes wrong ...

Sorry for taking so long to reply... but this should answer your question:

Alright, If you want to get even more technical and try to make your game run as efficiently as possible, you may want to go and check out the advanced section.
How to get there:

Options > advanced (Above "apply" on multiplayer tab).

Thats it, and in there is a bunch of different values you can set which will hopefully make your game not lag. Anyway, I havent really used that section much, so you might want to just try different things.

Good luck,

ok im checking like the decal limit and stuff not much realy there to change i have tried unticking and ticking all the boxes diddnt work im gonna raise and lower the decal limit see what changes hopefully it will work but if not need some more advice please bacon333...

Bacon333 is seems to be whenever i face the Zombie's or face the way were any of them are e.g (me here ) -----> (Zombies) = lagg
(me here ) -----> (Empty space/floor/ceiling) = Fine


Please help me i cant figure this out...

Have you tried re-installing brain bread?

yes many times even system restored lol nothing works...

I think its safe to say its your video card. Anyhow, getting a new video card (a geforce MX 4000) even though not super powerful, could still possibly play half-life 2 at low settings, and would make it much more enjoyable to play games. I can almost guarantee there will be no lag for Half-life.

Its just because Brainbread is the kind of mod which really pushes half-life to the limits as well as npcs go. Anyway, good luck.

Brainbread really does push it HL to the limit. The reason why I recommended Geforce 4 MX is because I had that card once, and its awesome with HL1, and for HL2 it ran just fine with no stutter at medium settings. The difference is that there are no pixel shading or bump map texturing at all. No bloom and HDR either. So basically running HL2 with a Geforce 4 is an HL2 without all the special stuff.

Yeah, I think I saw one of those at staples once.

my intel extreme graphics card runs half life ,counter strike and natural selection absolutly fine no lag when i look at half life npc's no lag when i look at the npc's in condition zero no lag in natural selection when i look at aliens and stuff . its only on brainbread someone please help me osrt it ...

+ the recomended specs are the same so i dont need to change anything...

Most people dont have an onboard video card when they are playing brain bread. Since there are so many npcs, (the zombies) it does take a lot of ram. Problem is, the video card also needs some ram, but theres none left, so it lags. Oh, and brain bread is probably the most demanding Half-life mod there is. (probably game too for half-life)

yes i no but my computer can handle half life 2 i know this from my cousin who installed it once here no lag issue with that it when i look at the npc's i know but can i decrease something about them to make me not lag ???
