If you right-click on Half-Life 2 in the Library menu, you'll see "properties". Press there and and in the first tab you'll see "set launch options", press there. Write in the following: "-dxlevel 95" (without quotation marks!). Then start the game and look on your graphics settings. It should now say "DirectX 9.0" down to the right. After this, crank up your shadowquality to High, since it wasn't possible with DX8.
Tell me if it works/doesn't work. :)
Yeah, it was probably something that Valve screw up after the latest patch for HL2 this month. But you're not the only one that have problems with this. A lot of people have complained, and it will probably be fixed soon (i hope...).
Hmm, no i don't think so, and i can't check that atm either, since i've downloaded Black Mesa on another comp then the one i am at now. To play Black Mesa, you don't even need to have HL2, which probably makes it a lot more different than HL2's "basic" files. You can try, but there is probably a big chance that you ♥♥♥♥ up the game, haha :)
