Half-life 2 update

If i read it correct, its all OB now.

Just played from the beginning to Ravenholm. It’s definitely better, several of the maps (such as Black Mesa East & Route Kanal) definitely have working HDR - white buildings glow in the sunlight, but when looking at them the exposure shifts and vice-versa in the shade.
I also noticed that the main characters (Alyx, Kleiner & Eli specifically) have Phong-Shading and Alyx uses the higher-poly version from EP2.
I too noticed the Breen animation and Vortigaunt power glitches, but they’re minor. As for what someone said about broken ‘Breencasts’, they all seem perfectly fine, only the teleportation scene is broken slightly.
It’s good to see Valve are still willing to update a 6-year-old game (even if it was related to the Mac release :3)

well the rest of the point still stands

I didn’t notice any HDR in Route Kanal.

Hmm, I might be wrong about that, sorry. I definitely remember testing it with a white ‘apartment’ building somewhere though and it worked fine.
Did anyone also notice the improved water / reflections? The water in Route Kanal was always green yet clear underneath, now it’s clear above and murky underneath; looks better now. Also, in Water Hazard, the pool of water where you need to use the blue tubs to float the ramp has the ‘shimmering’ water effect when you swim in it. This is the only body of water I’ve seen so far with this effect applied to it. :[

It’s now on the actual Orange Box Engine.

So, someone said mods are broken …
will this affect BMS???

I want flashlight shadows on my HL: Source lulz

After this update I can’t play BMS anymore.

Oh wait…

i don’t think so,because afaic black mesa is not a hl2 mod,it only uses the sdk,not the hl2 files

Can’t even fucking download the fucker. Server are too busy blah blah blah… stupid fucking shit.
Even changing locations didn’t help.

Why do I have tons of bugs? I deleted all the gcfs, my username\ folder and redownloaded hl2 and there are still the same shitty graphics. No cinematic mod is installed.
^This. Valve shouldn’t promise things they can’t do. Porting 3 games with 3 different engine versions into a mac build in that short time.

What do you mean with ‘shitty’?

Are you seriously saying you expected this to install the Fakefactory mod?

Oh god, some people are just too dumb to live.

i loled at King_Kaddo at first, but then my feith in human race died a little ;(

I’m pretty sure Kaddo was under the impression that having the cinematic mod installed already might be a possible cause of the problem.

It increased mine, because I have a profound faith in the human race’s capacity for idiocy.

ah, the cynics have emerged. you all should watch blood diamond.

The broke bunny hopping ;_;

Cry some more.
