Gibbing should be a lot more localized, it’d make things look so much better and it’ll be so satisfying to make someone’s head explode without destroying the whole body.

Would also make blowing somebody’s limbs off more enjoyable too.

“No Xen, stop it!” - hahaha that part had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Damnit i missed Ross aswell.

Btw CC peps, do you feel that you may overdone the Bounce map, just with the new areas?
(ill probably receive a slap for this)

And with the Crossfire map, do you guys think it would be fair to make a secret room (which should be obvious to find, but don’t tell us its whereabouts)
which would allow up to 2 players to hide from the bombing but it should be located away from the bunker?

Bounce was one of the popular (if not the most popular) map during internal testing.

I get it why it is popular, i like it.But i’m just saying the map feels “too new” to me
with the new areas like the sewer access near the wall in middle of the map
where as in the old map the sewer was away from the wall inside a building.
Just sayin’.

Soldier of Fortune comes to my mind!

No we don’t feel that way and why ask a passive aggressive question like that?
Consider yourself slapped…

You guys gotta be used to the passive aggression from the fans by now.

[bkdale86]

It’s annoying…

[Chickenprotector]

When wasn’t it?

[omegalucas]

Are you guys thinking of ever redoing the snarks? They are kinda have the lowest quality of all the viewmodels. Then again that may be 'cuz they are a worldmodel being held so, I dunno…

[bkdale86]

If you have questions or bugs post the in the appropriate threads.

Was chatting up with an EX Black Mesa developer that still has access to some old Black Mesa MP code (that is still used) with the hope that we will find a cause & fix for the following problems:

@Fr0z3nR

Lag is being reported on some maps, but not others. It’s being reported that it is tied into either weapons spawning, or players spawning. We have yet to determine which one it is, or if it’s both, or if it’s neither.

@•CraB•

I get freeze every time if some player exploded in MP
Of course this is not players but it has similar freeze

youtu.be/4RlgJpyttPE

Modifications have been made and now both problems should be fixed in a̶n̶ ̶u̶p̶c̶o̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ a future patch, he’s passed on the fixes to the current Black Mesa team, hope you guys will push them out in a decent amount of time ^^

The performance fixes for multiplayer in the public beta work great, the part including the fixes for youtube.com/watch?v=4RlgJpyttPE should in my opinion be pushed out as soon as possible to the non-beta / normal branch since a very few people actually use beta, no point for them to not benefit from the already existing fix.

People having the upgraded .vpk files from the beta cause problems while playing on non-beta servers in certain scenarios (can’t blacklist tampering with textures / models / other files…since beta and normal .vpk’s are different), this would be solved if this essential fix was pushed to the non-beta / normal branch since then players + servers will have the same .vpk’s.

Once we know things are working and aren’t crashing, we’ll push it out to he main clients. there are some other things in the patch that are holding it back.
