Black Mesa Blue Shift Frustration and dissapointment,
Buggy. Crashy. Laggy. UI menu tweaks out. gun play is twitchy and feels outdated.

I started with a few nitpicks here and there but it became frustration when my game wont advance because i apparently didnt play the game right and pre scripted cutscenes wont play out.

Now I get to start waayyyyy back using the asinine auto save feature and go more of the frustrating part again only for it to crash on me twice in the same spot.

probs not gonna finish this one boys.

Your computer is the problem, not the game, Most players who playing Blue Shift Mod we didn't have such issue like you mention dude.
Driver Mar 31 @ 6:21am 
Only significant bug I had was inside the freight container where Dr. Rosenberg disappeared after giving handing over the keycard and flashlight. Bug fixed after loading from autosave again.
I want to add something with a day of reflection...

I cannot do what the Developers do. I noticed the amazing sound design, detail, atmosphere that was obviuously a labour of love. I can only imagine what it took to coordinate and create Black Mesa Blue Shift. I believe everyone on the team has BIG things ahead of them and have shown they are capable of great game design.

MY frustration stems from my expectations and bugs that should be expected on a project like this. I had a negative experience and as someone who grew up on these games had really needed a win.
Post your system specs. Maybe there is some advice available on how to tweak your settings.
I had zero problems, but I could see that it was "challenging" for my slightly dated rig:
AMD Ryzen 5 5500
16 GB DDR4 RAM
EVGA nVidia 2060 (6 GB GDDR6)
2 X WD Blue 500GB SATA II SSDs
1080, high
april fools? i mean it was yesterday (for me)

This is most likely the answer. my CPU and MB are ....old.
I still wont forgive the two times it crashed for no good reason. I may replicate and record for posterity.
Black Mesa ran nicely so it was a bummer that Blue Shift didnt.

Obvious reason Blue Shift maybe using different things than Black Mesa that's why may your Computer didn't run correctly Blue Shift, anyway is still a good mod, I play without issue in BMBS.
I will come back to this game eventually. Best of luck to the development team!
Uhh, I think that's more of a problem with your pc than the actual game. Everything you mentioned was fine for me. Except for the cutscenes, that actually seems to be a problem with the game because other people have been complaining about it. Still though, check your computer.
