Novint Falcon - Little Issue

[izPhil]

So I got my Novint Falcon today in the mail (YAY!!) and I've installed the drivers off of the website and nvent off of the disk. I've played all of the arcade games that come with it plus all of my source games. Out of all of my source games though, the only one that doesn't seem to work is Half-Life 2. When I start it up there is no response from the Falcon at all. I've tried running nvent in the background and still there seems to be no connection between the falcon and halflife 2. In the options there's no tab for the falcon whatsoever. When I try using nvent in the background while in-game the mouse and falcon conflict with eachother and the screen spins around violently. The falcon works fine with half-life episode 1 and 2 but not half-life. Some assistance would be appreciated.

Hey izPhil, welcome to the Falcon family! Great you have it and have it working. I'm at your disposal to make your Falcon experience a good one.

Jawneh sent me a private email message letting me know about this thread - thanks for doing so.

Half-Life 2 doesn't have native support like the rest of the orange box. There is a mod on our site, which you can find in the games section. It's a bit buggy, as there are bugs that we don't have access to fix. Also, I have heard that people have played HL2 in the portal framework
using HL2 within Portal framework

Thank you guys for the help. Half-Life 2 is a totally different and even more amazing experience with the Falcon.
