The SRGB patch(s) only ever fixed the original Half Life 2.It didn't help with HL2 : EP1/EP2, Portal, Left4Dead or Zeno Clash.It seems that the patch only worked properly with early versions of the source engine, and that it does not work correctly with later versions.
Actually the patch that was attached here (#31) did have a nice effect on L4D, FPS doubled after it. For me at least.
Yes, but that patch is more of a hack than a real fix, and it breaks lighting effects in most games.
