so there’s been many reports of problems with the new mac release update over on the HL2.net forums (https://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3156416#post3156416) namely graphical in the games themselves, especially broken skyboxes, lack of promised HDR and lighting issues. this thread is specifically for anyone who wishes to complain and seek help (although valve will eventualy sort them out hopefully). I personally have so far had severe skybox and lighting issues in black mesa east and I’m sure more is yet to come. If soemone reminds me how to post screens without using an image hosting website so I can show what I’m talking about I’d be very grateful.
I have another problem: since the update the tools-mode of the mod I develop doesn’t work, in debug-mode I get “AppFramework : Unable to load module p4lib.dll!”
I seem to have some missing animation for the Gman speech at the start but I’m happy to play the game without the bug that happens on my pc where distant things are grey.
I have noticed the broken sky boxes alot and I’m on the PC.
Not one of my Smods work, and it sounds like other people are having issues with a lot of their other mods.
Yeah, I noticed that myself. Finally got to Black Mesa East and when I looked up, all I could say was, “Wait, that doesn’t look right.” I had thought that was just an issue that’s always been there since I’d never stopped to see what’s around.
You guy’s have this glitch yet! It defies the laws of physics.
Blah. Turn down your brightness a bit. 
New glitch the rollers can get stuck in the holes on the ceiling.
The Airboat headlight was “updated” to the new EP2 flashlight, but they just made it the same as the normal flashlight, so it’s completely useless now. :’(
Has anybody noticed that they have slowed down the buggy.
knowing valve, they’ll probably release more updates with bug fixes, they better anyway.
Does no one at valve test any of these updates before releasing? Valve release a polished game and release bugs at a later date. If this had been on initial released the game would have been panned.
ok, weird. it’s working fine now?
in my case, distant things are gray :S
I already had that glitch on ep2, does someone know how to fix it?
That’s like that for me too, I think it is just normal. Was like that before the update too.
no, it isnt normal. i have it installed on another pc and it looks fine.
Oh, well mine was like that even before the update. What has actually been changed in thie update anyway?
try opening the console and typing fog_override 1. It isn’t perfect, but it’s better.
found another strange bug:
