I am in We'VE GOT HOSTILES part, but have hit a snag. I am in the lift going up to the surface, but the game crashes. I have tried updating to the latest version, but that makes no difference. Essentially, the lift is going up, then it says LOADING on the screen and I cant move. There is a helicopter flying (I can hear this, but not see it as I am in the lift still) which is shooting and killing me. Any ideas?

Short Media Forums suggests saving before the event, and.. jumping:

QUOTE

It is a very common bug in Half-Life. Jumping will get you around the problem. But if you do not jump in time and end up stuck...hit the spacebar and the shift keys alternately and quickly. Many times it will free you. The most common stickey places are when riding a lift through a map change. So whenever I get on a lift or elevator the first thing I do is quick save and then stand in the middle of the lift and get ready to jump.

Whilst Tech Guy hints that it might be down to the mode you're playing in - and to try OpenGL mode...
