Prop clipping | picking up weapons and ammo | fan glitch

Having played the original release, I’m now on my first play through of the Steam version. Up to Office Complex. Findings so far:

  1. There have been several situations where I am unable to pick up (with the “use” key) ammo crates and weapons. Even if I have already done so (e.g. I just picked it up, threw it 10 feet, and went to pick it up again - can no longer pick it up). This is not linked to any particular area. The last time it happened was the .357 in the locked office near the freezer (map : bm_c1a2c at: -18 x, 1151 y, 280 z). It makes the “positive” sound effect but that’s it.

  2. When you turn off the fan in the optional ducts in Office Complex (map : bm_c1a2c at: 883 x, 1519 y, 362 z), then flip the switch back on, the wind turns back on but the fan does not.

  1. If you crouch on a bullsquid, you clip straight through it. map : bm_c1a2c at: -2177 x, 124 y, 216 z. Though there have been many other clipping issues - guards’ guns going through walls when they’re standing close; scientists crossing their arms and forearms essentially disappear.

3a) I searched for “crowbar gib” and found nothing but… you can’t gib models with the crowbar. Can only the explosive damage type do this now? If so… disappointing :-/
