Experiences in Sven COOP!

Sven Co-Op is celebrating its 17TH anniversary by making it a free standalone game... including the original game classic Half-Life... available from STEAM. That's right, its FREE! This is the same add-on component for the original 1999 Half-Life game. Although there are limitations due to it being based upon HL-1, Sven Co-Op is running an overhauled game engine.

Windows 7 Open GL Rendering Fix:

Since Sven Co-Op was developed before the introduction of STEAM and modern monitors, a fix is in order to make it display correctly in terms of Open GL Rendering. However, you need to identify your computer monitor rendering size first.

1. Right-click on any open area of your desktop.
2. Choose the Personalization option.

This brings you to a screen about you computer rendering information.





In the above screenshot, my monitor (Dell IN1920 (Analog), 1366 is the width and 768 is the height.  This is the information needed for the fix.

1. Right-click the Sven Co-Op shortcut in your STEAM Library.
2. Choose the Properties option.
3. At the Properties window click the Set Launch Options button.
4. Enter the following into the box "-gl -w 1366 -h 768 -full" as seen in the last screenshot.
