I was playing on hard, then switched to black mesa, then to normal. I saved the game after that, some time later I go to the difficulty settings and see that it's now back to hard. Is it just a menu misrepresentation and the actual difficulty is still normal or does the game have a resident evil 4 like changing by itself diffuculty?

Can someone explain? I Saw some 3 year old steam threads about how fast path servers redirect you from other servers ask for donations steal your accounts etc. And I'm very confused because i've been occasionaly playing on "[EU] Fast Path Community | BMS" and it has nothing listed above and it's the only server that has "fast path" in its name. It's also the only server that is active the whole day and has more than 3 people playing on it basically making it the only server where i can have fun. Should I not play on it?

Recently, I installed multiple workshop addons for black mesa (added in a custom folder). However, when I launch the game on steam, nothing will open and the only option is to stop the game from running. I have tried running the game's exe file through the file path, which didn't work. When I dragged the custom folder out of bms, it worked. I cannot figure out why this is. Here are my addons.

• BMCE

• Juniez's Weapon Pack

• MBWS II

• MBWS II and Juniez Comp

• Gun Nut and Shotgun Shell Box remastered

• Inbound Revamped

• Chapter Overhauls: Office Complex, WGH, Blast Pit; Questionable Ethics and Residue Processing; Anomalous Materials and Unforeseen Consequences; Surface Tension; and Lambda Core

• Extra Definitive On a Rail + Softlock Patch

• Avila's Mark IV HEV

Should I redownload some of the addons back into the workshop folder or is something else wrong?

I recently installed a workshop addon for Black Mesa, and saw that in the game, it was located in workshop (Extra Definitive On a Rail Uncut). If I start a new game in Black Mesa, will it work or will I have to mount it in a custom folder in the Black Mesa root directory? I also installed an addon that added Adrian Shephard to Lambda Core (Shephard in Lambda Core). Will I have to mount in in the main BM directory?

Estava prestes a entrar no nível Xen, quando meu jogo fechou, tentei entrar denovo mas não funciona. isso já aconteceu para mais alguém, ou pode ser um problema do meu notebook?

A cow skull inside a crater

View from the island

Better view of how far away it is

So I'm doing a 100% achievement run with both the hat and the pizza at the same time, once I reached Interloper I was trying to find a way to get both items across the void, and while looking for ways one of the tentacles threw me and I managed to land right in the middle of this lonely island.
I found in a crater on the island a cow skull and it seemed a bit suspicious to me and I thought it might be some reference or easter egg.

Apparently if you switch from Fullscreen to Windowed Borderless, it runs so much smoother. I can actually run the game on high settings now.

I don't know why but when I play the campaign for Black Mesa it wont let me sprint and just makes me walk instead. I don't know why.

Was replaying Black Mesa for the second time and in Questionable Ethics, the part where you pick up the laser gun i heard from somewhere really clearly the sound of a Doom Classic door sliding, am i going crazy or is this a stock sound?

I’ve always wanted to edit in the source engine but there’s conflicting softwares people use? I’m trying to edit with black mesa and use the characters

For context: huge fan of the Black Mesa workshop and some mods inspired me to start dipping my toe into modding. Specifically weapons animations. But the problem here is i dont know where to start. There aint too many guide about spefically so it would be wonderful if a general guide could be provided. Thanks in advance

I've read some older redits discussing how this game was at first almost unplayable and playable but with bugs on the Steam Deck. I've tried messing with the graphics settings myself and I'm able to crank them all the way and maintain a stable 30 FPS but no matter how I adjust them up or down or try to balance them I'm having a lot of graphics bugs with lighting, shadows, fog, and ambiance. One lighting problem I've been having is trouble with the flash light and proper illumation of spaces which is making the darker area more difficult then they are supposed to be. I've experienced the air duct glitch and had to navigate blindly, as well seeing shadows or outlines of objects through walls. Most of the time these bugs are just annoying but at times they have made the game almost unplayable. Any suggestions? I'm not sure if I've changed the proton out yet.

TL;DR: I'm looking for the health and armor leveling mod from "[Sentinel]BMS Coop" so I can add it to my own server.

My friend and I started playing together on "[Sentinel]BMS Coop" and really enjoyed the feature where you can upgrade your health and armor by leveling up through killing enemies.

Unfortunately, random players kept joining and rushing through the enemies and puzzles, which took away from our experience of playing at our own pace. I decided to set up my own dedicated server and added the coop mod, but I couldn't find the leveling mod that boosts health and armor.

If anyone knows where I can download it or how to add this feature, I'd really appreciate the help!
