Hello. dear devs.
I’ve played the whole game process for several times of the December Beta and I have found some glitches as so far. I don’t know if any of them are actually bugs, but I’ll show them to you guys.
Maybe other people has reported to you already for a few glitches. If so, I feel sorry about doing the same thing. These are not all found in Dec. beta, some of them are old ones.
I will report these glitches by chapters.
My PC system specs:
E3 1231 v3
GTX970
Windows 7 64 bit
Resolution in 1920*1080
All graphic settings are in the highest level.
Chapter 1 Black Mesa Inbound
- I found that only this chapter does not have title, I think you can add a title “Black Mesa Inbound” for it.
=======================================
Chapter II Anomalous Materials
- Some of the room are too bright, such as the toilet in the area where you get the H.E.V, tone down a little will be better.
=======================================
Chapter III Unforeseen Consequence
- I find that when Xen portals appears, they don’t illuminate the environment every time, is this a bug or just a setting (Only appear in certain areas)?
=======================================
Chapter IV Office Complex
1.The volume of the broadcast for Black Mesa Emergency is too low, and it is covered by the BGM here. It can be increased a little, I think.
=======================================
Chapter V “We’ve Got Hostiles”
- The two scientist will block your way if you don’t interact to them. (They will not give way when you get close to them, they’ll stand there instead)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1277835681 - The world model of MP5 is a little rough.
=======================================
Chapter VI Blast Pit
1.Weird lighting here, it’s too dark on the pipe.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1275585435
- I remembered that in the original HL, this two platforms in the two silos will collapse after you turn on the power, fuel and oxygen. Will this incident be added back?

The physical effects of this Vortigaunt’s body is wrong, it’s an old glitch. It will not floating on the water after been killed, but keep twitching and fall onto the ground instead.

The reactor will automatically overload after a few seconds, no need to use the switch here. Is this a setting that you actually don’t need to turn off the switch and just wait for the overloading or just a bug that this switch didn’t work normally?
It’s an old problem and I show to you again.

The burning stickers caused by the reactor beams will disappear after you reloaded the game, it’s an old glitch.

Only the beam that on the top of the reactor which breaking the exit door has dynamic lighting, others don’t have. Is this a setting?

6.This is hard to notice. but I’ve find it.
An instantaneous particle spilling animation disappears from the sudden when the portal to Xen is first formed. But if you reloaded the game here, it runs normally.
You can verify for yourself: Open the console and jump to the map bm_c3a2i, then have a normal play. At that time you will not see the animation. Then reload the autosaved game here and wait till the same incident, then you can see it.
My English is poor and I cannot explain it well. so I make a GIF picture to show to you the difference as below.

These are all glitches I found in the gameplay, hope others will show to me if some of them are my own problem. I should confirm these a public issues, not individual ones.
If some one has another suggestions and new reports, welcome to tell me. Hope devs will see this post, I’m very appreciated.
At last, thanks for your whole hard work to Black Mesa. Wish it better and better!
I’ll keep going to find and report more bugs to you in the future.
