    At -80% the game is an OK buy but development is dead. Don’t expect it to ever play well on Steam Deck, if you care about that. They only push their merch store now.

    The recent anniversary update to the original HL1 makes that an appealing proposal.

      Looks like Proton Experimental or the public beta for native works decently well, did you try either of those solutions?

      I personally played on Linux desktop and it was fine, but that obviously doesn’t indicate much for the SD since the hardware is so different.

        I’m aware of workarounds for the glitches but the fact remains that Crowbar Collective doesn’t work on Black Mesa any longer, we don’t even know if actual developers are still there, so they aren’t the ones making any fixes. They just collect the money from game sales als the merch shop.
