Gate glitch at Power Up

[VenomSK]

OK, I know that this is a known glitch, but it is so annoying, I have tried this level couple of times, but that ****ing gate, leading to main generator room originally designed to kill gargantua with electricity, still wont open!! I do not want to cheat, IMO, it mess up joy of the game. I have cleared the boxes at the pump and then activated the secondary generator down in the rooms of course...in past days, I have finished Half Life on Steam several times and I have no idea of this annoyance until today so, any ideas ?

Playing on Windows 7 and already verified the game cache integrity several times.

It just happened to me. And the Gargantua is even stuck as well. I ended up killing it with grenades but the gate still won't open. If this is a known glitch why haven't they fixed it?

I'm having the same issue. Verified my game cache, made sure the power generator was on, but no dice. Gate is still closed. Even if I kill gargantuan with grenades, I still can't get train to work -- the game says the power isn't on.

Yep that's my same problem. This is my first playthrough of this game and this glitch really sucks. I even started again before the Power Up chapter and it stil happened. Are there any more glitches that prevent players from advancing so I can be on a look out for them (and possible ways to avaoid them)?

Ok I did some digging and finally found a fix that worked for me. Check this link: http://www.valvetime.net/threads/problem-with-half-life-power-up-level.27103/

Basically, you need to clear the crates from the pump (thus lowering the water), BUT do not actually activate the power generator. Just make your way back up to the top and the gate should be open now -- allowing you to fry the bastard and move on. Hope this works for everyone.

This is a little late, but I found a solution that doesn't require you to have to go on foot during the On a Rail mission. There is a separate room to turn on the track power. It is in one of the tunnels

Screenshot please? I've been through the level back and forth. I am not replaying this over again.

Read the date of the post. I doubt you will get a response from them.

Thanks you very much ! I just had the same problem ! Thank you !

i don'tt knpw how tto do it

[Marcus Finnegan]

I got past this by loading up a save from the beginning of power up, then replaying it all. Very annoying but this worked for me.

Or maybe skip the Power Up chapter by placing tripmines in the wall?

why not cheat? Half Lide is an offline linear game over 20 years old, if the game doesn't work just do a sv_cheats 1 and a noclip, pass the bug and do a noclip again, if you want to play on a Rail try to play without I never played the train, but it would be interesting to spend this whole chapter in a different way.

tried to fix it with the earlier method but didn’t works so I will probably restart it

Good to see this bug is still there even after all the latest updates

For me there was an autosave right before I pressed the power button, So load up the autosave, do NOT press the power button and then the gate is open so you can continue and power up the tracks.
