The December Update, Part 2

Black Mesa Archive Developer Logs
#101

Enough teasing and just reveal it already please :smiley:

#102

You haven’t quite answered my question, but i see your confusion.

Will Part 3 reveal similar big new content like the Part 2 revealed the God Rays?

#103

To be honest, the bug fixes are what I expect the most from this update. For me everything else, like the new weapon models and godrays, are extra luxury.

#104

hope part 3 shows what maps are being changed. (or proves/disproves the ST:U being official, though think I am like the only one that thinks that is what is being teased)

#105

omg you gais are putting cockroaches back into black mesa!? Like, cockroaches that you can actually step on!?

Well, shit. This is now the game of the century.

#106

Aren’t they in the game already?

#107

Not ones you can actually step on.

#108

That crunch sound was incredibly satisfying.

#109

They should add roaches when they have working HL movement, wallgauss and improved gamebalance in MP… I really hope there will be a noticable improvement in MP gameplay with content update 2. People want fast, agile and precise HL gameplay in BM multiplayer and I really hope next update will bring MP a big step forward into that direction.

#110

Yes, yes, we get the idea. No need to be such a stuck record. Pretty much every single comment you post is like this. We get it. Let us work on it.

#111

I guess I’m a nag. Sorry for that.

#112

At this point most complaints are nagging, as most of them have been said 100 times minimum. Though that doesn’t change how valid some of them are.

Also, I remember something form MP of the old half life, that is custom made co-op maps. I doubt the devs will ever do this, but I think if we had some of these in MP then the multiplayer may last a bit longer. (they are one of the few things still played in HL2 :smiley: M.)

#113

We all know that this upcoming update will contain bug fixes, but will there also be a fix for windows 10 users as some source based games do not run well in windows 10?

#114

I don’t think you can fix much in the source engine that would allow it to run smootly on Windows 10.It’s just an outdated engine.

#115

And you’re basing this on what? Plenty of downright ancient engines run just fine on newer operating systems.

#116

Engine instability. Try playing Diablo II in full screen on Windows 10 (no legacy) and you’ll see what he means.

We’re getting off topic again.

#117

Because Blizzard hasn’t touched the game in years. The BM team has full source code access, nothing is preventing them from patching out any engine incompatibilities with Win10.

#118

I talked about this with someone a wile back who had this same problem and this is what we discussed.

#119

Just to answer your question so we can get back on topic, i am not basing that on anything.It’s just my perception.
I am not a programmer, but i assume that fixing an old game engine is kinda similar to fixing an old car engine.
Some old cars will have engines in such a bad condition that fixing and/or adding replacement parts is just not going to work.

Therefore i find similarity with a game engine.If there are many bad/outdated codes, you’re better of making a fresh new engine.

#120

Runs fine for me, it’s probably either you drivers or you aren’t running in compatibility mode.
