The game does not launch at all. Once I press play, no process starts and steam goes back to the playing no game state.

I have tried:

-Verifying game files
-Restarting PC
-Reinstalling MS .Net frameworks.
-Updating Graphics Drivers
-All Beta Branches
-Launch options such as the oldui one
-Disabling and Enabling XMP in bios
-Uninstalling Remote Desktop (Not sure why relevant but saw recommended in some places)
-Fresh install of game
-Windows Compatibility mode
-Running as admin
-Installing on different drives (Tried both NVMe and HDD)

-Deleting Steam cache

Literally can not think of anything else to try, any suggestions?

I can't seem to get the controller to work exactly how I want. I can use the controller... but I can't use the HL2-style D-Pad selection -- instead it only lets me cycle through every weapon via D-Pad left & right (up & down do different things).

• I tried enabling and disabling Fast Weapon Switching
• I've tried changing the value of the HUD style to "2", which is the usual 'console-style' HUD, via the console
• I've tried running "exec 360controller"
• I've tried wholesale replacing the 360controller cfg file with the one currently in HL2 (which works fine & better than ever since the 20th Anniversary Update)
• I've tried starting in Big Picture Mode
• I've tried disabling Steam Input and enabling it
• I've tried using the default input, editing the default input, downloading a fanmade input. editing the fan input, etc.

Nothing I do gets me exactly the HL2-style mechanics. At best. I can run around as I want and do everything with the controller... but I have to cycle through every weapon instead of the simpler and quicker "4 direction" weapon categories. Even the HUD aspect of switching weapons is disabled.

Any & all help would be appreciated! I really want the 4-directional weapon selection plus the accompanying HUD weapon selection to appear just as it does in HL2.

Is there way to disable the scoreboard displayed at the top?

I think in 2022 i had this game and i tried to fix the lighting being too dark, but i messed something up and now I'm stuck in this screen and can not continue. Can anyone help?

Just did my first playthrough of HL: Alyx and HL2 in VR and I'm blown away. Just discovered Black Mesa and was wondering if it had a VR mod as good as HL2. I found one via Google search but I wasn't able to get it to work. HL2 VR mod is on Steam and required zero setup.

I'm trying to speedrun the game and in the most recent version of the game there's these invisible walls all over the maps, why did they do this?

Ive been trying for around 4 days now and blue shift just wont work.. Ive tried different tutorials, different methods, uninstalling and reinstalling but it just wont work. The one time I got it to work was late at night, logged off deciding id play in the morning just for it not to work, used the same tutorial previously multiple times and still dosnt work. Please help I so badly wanna play it

I've been playing BM for quite some time now and I just realized that it was running on the cpu this whole time after installing a new gpu into my pc. How do I get BM to run on my gpu?

i Have updated and reinstalled the mod but there is simply no chapter 5 of black mesa blue shift, could it be that its set to certain regions the update of chapter 5?

I want to use stuff like juniez's weapons, and the classic creature workshop addons with BM:BS. Will they work if I put them in a custom folder or can I not add content like that?

Been playing the Blue Shift mod and I must say I love it. Especially compared to the original Blue Shift, it has soooo much more depth. But it is kinda funny how Barney does all this without an HEV or PCV suit 😂 Like, all he wears is a plate carrier and a helmet yet still tears shit up nonetheless. It's like he's made of metal or something

I'm just wondering if anyones made the other 3 spinoffs (opposing force. Blue shift and decay) into black mesa

Question 1: is the Blue Shift workshop game faithful to the original?

Question 2: is Black Mesa Military or H.E.C.U faithful to Opposing Force if not is there one in the works?

Never played either of them and coudnt really find answers for my questions

The internet says the game is supposed to support gyro.

I enabled the official controller configuration with gyro and started the game, but it doesn't seem to work. Do I need to enable it somewhere in-game? I went through the input and bindings settings, and found some gyro sliders there, but nothing that enables gyro.

I checked that my gyro input reaches Steam Big Picture by going into Steam's gyro settings and calibration. All three gyro axes show input, so my gyro hardware and setup works until there.

I use a Steam Controller via Steam Link on an Apple TV but that shouldn't be relevant as evidently my gyro input reaches Steam Big Picture.

Has anyone else found this happen? Playing on a steam deck. I join a server with people in it and am not automatically thrown into a team, there are the options, spectate, join team or cancel. I can select none of these options and am left viewing the game at a skewed angle. There's no responsive cursor or anything like that.
