It doesn't just happen with the Voodoo3.
My i740 does that also.
Pain in the arse.
 
If you alt-tab and go back into it, they usually show up.

Same thing here : black screen when calling menu under D3D.
I run OpenGl OK. Not too big an issue thu as it's Quake2 engine which is native ogl I've been told.

Half-Life is actually the Quake I engine, but massively modified so that you'd not actually realise.

This problem is well know in HL, The problem is due to HL not redraw the 2D screen, so use a diff Game API.
Both Sierra & Valve all ready said this will be fix in the next patch update.
 
Voodoo3 owen should change
"3dfx mini driver" change to "OpenGL" in same case you may need to change to "Direct3D" for it to work rigth.
 
All other Video card
"Direct3D" change to "OpenGL"

Ok, thanks guys, I thought it was something I had set up wrong... Good to know Valve's working on it.

Actually, Bursar, HL started out with the Quake engine, but during development was changed over to the Quake2 engine...but definitely massively modified, as you stated.
