Cliff Helicopter battle crash / glitches

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

Hey all,

wonderful game, enjoyed it very much thus far. Originally when fighting the Apache Helicopter on the cliff I wasn’t able to destroy it. I went back into the room where I found the rocket launcher in search of more rockets. When I left the room back to the cliff side the helicopter would be shooting randomly and nowhere near me. It was moving/behaving strangely. I have retried several times and now the game just crashes on me. HL2.exe stopped responding with the error information below. I have also attached the minidump file.

I had the same problem. I managed to get passed by going to task manager and putting high priority on hl2.exe.

Hope it works for you.

#3

The helicopter glitches out for me as well. The game never crashed but several reloads always made it glitch out eventually. Very odd. Can’t say I complained though, because that thing can take a shit ton of beating.

#4

I’m having the same problem as OP - helicopter just continues to fly around the air weirdly and shoot at random stuff. Does this hinder forward progression of the story?

#5

I THINK I’ve had that issue (or something similar).

The fight was going normally as it should. I ran out of rockets and so I fled to the rocket crate to get some more. Once I ran back to my original hiding place, the Apache was at a right angle from me, and attacking the mountainside.
I was able to run out into the open and just blow it up uninterrupted, but it did kill the immersion a bit (or maybe that was the fact it was my 15th retry…).

#6

I’m starting to think that this bug happens when the helicopter can’t see you or you get back to the room and for whatever reason the AI gets mad because it doesn’t know what to do.

#7

I have the same bug, and also in this battle I experienced HUGE slowdowns, this is not happen anywhere else before or after heli battle.

Have already tried re-installing black mesa, makes no difference
