Lambda Complex End Laser Portal HL2.exe crash

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

Hi

I played this whole game straight . I just loved it huge Half life fan. (still waiting for 3) :frowning: (

I am at the very end of the Lambda chapter and am fighting off the aliens as the scientist opens the portal. As soon as the laser beam appears and the Xen portal begins to appear, the game just pauses and boom HL2.EXE error and windows screen.
This has happened during other parts of the game but after a restart it usually went away. I have put new drivers have restarted computer have put all setting to low and windowed mode but nothing.

Help !!! some save files right after that screen would also do the trick if someone has.

maybe a windows 8.1 error

I’ll test this later today. My specs are close to identical to his, but I’ve yet to try and run Black Mesa on 8.1.

Let’s see what happens at the end of Lamba Core, shall we?

The only PC i’ve ever owned that was capable of playing through Black Mesa without a single crash in one playthrough, is an IBM thinkpad T60 with a Core 2 Duo, 3GB of RAM and a Radeon x1300.

I apologize for the thread necromancy.

I too am at the end of lambda core, and the game, which until then ran very smoothly, suddenly turned into a slideshow (12 fps or so). My specs:

i7 2600k @ 4.0Ghz
8Gb DDR3-1866
2 x GTX 670 in SLI

I am running the game in glorious 3D Vision. Got 60 stereo-fps about 90% of the time, and above 50 100% of the time, except fighting the aliens at the end of lambda core.

Any tips? The video cards aren’t working hard, didn’t check the CPU, but I doubt it’s using it all?

On the mod release, the finale sequence in Lambda Core had some optimisation issues stemming from a very complicated, intermittent bug. This has been fixed for the retail release. Unfortunately the mod version’s ending is problematic for a lot of people - I had to finish it with about 5 fps despite having no issues anywhere else with the game.
