Lambda Core bug?
I've been stuck at the end of the Lambda Core for a while now, just before you get the long-jump boots. There's this door a scientist is supposed to open for me, but he does the animation of holding up the shotgun, putting it down, and then he just stands there, without moving. I've tried to just noclip through the door, but that way I don't get the long-jump boots, and I'm missing whatever plot information he was supposed to give me. Is there any way to fix this?

EDIT: After I noclip through the door, if I manually talk to the scientist (E), He'll walk from the door over to about the middle of the room, and do an animation that looks like he's giving gordon something, which I assume is the long-jump boots. However, he doesn't actually give me the boots, and I'm still missing whatever he's supposed to say. I really want to hear it, seeing as I don't know much since this is my first playthrough.

Do you have multiple saves? Try reloading each one to see if any work.

I have this same bug. This is really infuriating as it's my first playthrough as well. None of my older saves are working either.

I eventually just used "give_itemlongjump" to get the long jump boots, and just noclipped past the door. Bit of a shame I had to miss that dialouge, but I didn't have any further trouble past that point.

Yeah, I did the same. A little research suggested that this is a new bug (last couple weeks) with a recent Steam update to the game. Hopefully they get it fixed so other new players aren't turned off.

Hi, Im facing this problem too, I tried noclip and give longjump, but it didnt work for me. I am unable to actually use the long jump, all I seem to do is bunny hop.

Try going back from that map to the previous one. Then walk to the door again. Making the map reload might help you out.

Didnt work. So I deleted the game, redownloaded it, and played my save again. It worked this time. Something must have been corrupted in the first install.

Found another method. Use E to get the scientist to follow you. Move (force) him into the wall vault where the long jump was. Back off. He'll open it after that. Very strange triggering bug.
You dont need to reinstall the game, for me worked : Library > half life 1 > rightclick > propeties > tools > and the last option there

So you noclipped through the door, but not through the wall container where the Longjump is?

And it's not Boots. It,s a backpack attachment for the suit.

When they fix this bug, they can do the same with the uncensored DLC for the german version!
