AI/framerate issue with assassins

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues (Mod)
#1

When I first reached the surface (where you first encounter assassins) the game dropped down to about 5 fps when looking towards the center of the level, maybe 20 fps looking away. I noticed the assassins were being very passive and seemed more interested in jumping around randomly than attacking me. I finally managed to kill one, and instantly my framerate jumped up to 40+. The other times I encountered assassins, my framerate dropped a bit but nothing like that.

Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

I think it would be more likely that it would have something to do with you going outside into that particular area. Than the assassins.

Yeah, i have the same issue and I have a theory. I have the torrent version, and maybe somewhere in the torrent it messed something up. Because i have a pretty awesome machine, i don’t think it’s my computer.

I had a similar issue in the same place, except it wasn’t the assassins that caused it. The frame rate would drop drastically (like to <5 FPS) any time I’d face towards the center of the big room with the helicopter in it. If I was facing a wall away from the center or if I was outside the room, the frame rate would return to normal.

What fixed it for me was flipping the switch to open the door. The second I hit it, the frame rate returned to normal.

#5

I had the same exact issue in that part, right where the security guard gets killed by the assassin. Restarting the game fixed it for me.
