Issues Resolved
Severe System Crippling and Data Destroying Uninstall Bug
The CD version of Half Life includes "Sierra Utilities" as part of the installation process. DO NOT USE THE UNINSTALLER TO REMOVE IT. Sierra Utilities uninstaller is poorly written and will delete everything in the parent directory. For example, if the game is installed to C:\Games\half life, all data in the C:\Games folder will be deleted. Reports on various forums indicate users have had their entire system critical Program Files subfolders deleted (do a search for "uninstall sierra utilities"). This happens even with the latest 1.1 patch (tested on Windows 7 64-bit). Leave Sierra Utilities alone or consider deleting it manually instead of using the uninstaller.
Windows 7/Vista Performance Fix
In Windows 7 or Vista some users may experience extremely low framerate during gameplay even if their PC can run other more modern games perfectly.
Follow these instructions to the problem:
