Scientist Model Tie Glitch

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues
#1

Hey all, just a small glitch with the ties of Scientists. At any point after you meet Issac Kliener, where a scientist moves more than around a little bit at their devices (i.e. when a scientist will follow, or escort you,) their tie will shake violently; (observe Kliener’s tie, and this will continue as long as this is stared at.)

and after some time, the bone at which the tie is attached will extend into oblivion:

This is only really noticeable when Kliener first speaks to you, as well, I noticed ties will only extend once you meet Eli. The tie will be back in place once you look away and back at the scientist again, but I can only assume that it is because this resets the model. I tested on all model detail levels, and this still occurred, more so on low, I found.

If any other information or evidence is required, just let me know.

Known issue. Best to use the search function before creating a thread that’s just repetition.

Beyond that, welcome aboard!

I also have the tie glitch BUT

I was playing through BMS again and in the Office Complex I noticed that the potted plants do a little shake and rattle where the leaves seem to change positions and each leaf seems to flash.
