FakeFactory has once released a new version of his Cinematic Mod. After extensive email discussions with VALVE and the Half-Life Coders, FakeFactory came to the following conclusion: The Cinematic Mod will run on 32 Bit but it's no longer supported on 32 Bit systems, because of the limited user space with 32 Bit Windows. Don't blame Valve or me for this problem. It is a fundamental problem on all 32 bit platforms, that cannot and will not fixed with a engine update.

In other words:

You can try the mod on 32 Bit, but most likely you need to set texture and shader details to medium or low for crashfree play (it will still looks good at medium settings). 64 Bit users are able to play with all settings maxed out, as the engine can use all available RAM for allocating memory blocks.

CM5 for EP2 comes with optional HD models. These models are taxing your hardware to the limit, are looking very different and are a matter of taste. By default only the maincharacters are activated. For activating the civilian/resistance or deactivating the main characters you can use the all new "Character Pimper" (formerly known as Alyx Construction Kit) You will find the "Character Pimper" in your shortcuts folder after installation has finished.

You can find the rest of the information in the readme below, please also remember that you need Half-Life 2, Episode One and Episode Two in order to use Cinematic Mod 5.

In what way?

Edit: Actually I see what you mean now, the new 'HD' models look vastly different to the Vances that we've come to know.
But you have to admit that they do look amazing though

Wouldn't have thought so.

The installer
-----------------------------
YOU MUST EXIT STEAM FOR INSTALLATION!

The setup will install CM5 in you STEAM sourcemod folder, register the shortcut in you STEAM games panel and create additional shortcuts in your shortcuts folder ("CinematicMod", "Character pimper", "Uninstallation") After deinstallation these shortcuts are
removed, but the shortcut in your STEAM games panel will remain. You can remove it manualy with right-click on the entry and choosing "Delete".

The installer will create the two folders "FAKEFACTORY_CM" and "FAKEFACTORY_CMEP1" beside its main folder "FAKEFACTORY_CMEP2". This is for compatibility reasons with the "Character pimper"
