excellent mod

@Jesus7, BM Blue shift is not planned to release as standalone or paid game since they need permission by Crowbar Collective and maybe Valve tho, the game will stay as mod.

Anybody know when the Caretaker patch for Focal Point is going to be released?

Does anyone know if it is planned to be officially released as a (paid) game on Steam?

when it said "to be continued" i was sad
what a good mod

I have problems when I start a new game or continue an old one, the game closes without an error, it just closes, how can I fix this?

Just wondering if the recently announced care-taking patch release date has been stated or if that is still to be determined. Not sure if it was said anywhere and I missed it. Thanks!

I get incredible lags, my specs are ryzen 7 800x3d and rx 7900 xtx

VENOM

my dogshit pc cant run the beauty of focal point, also otis called murdoch (murdoch?) a her when i killed him lmao

gameinfo.txt does not exist in subdirectory bshift. I check if its missing. Its there. I will most probably never get this mod running.

crash,crash&crash
memory,address&texture
f**k the focus point
have you tested?????????????????????

i read dev reply on their moddb page,they will release v1.0 that will inlude all chapter

take it slow dev, no need to rush it.

(is there any ETA for that? just curious so i know what to expect, 1 year, 2 year, 3 year, or whenever v1.0 ready)

your interpretation of blue shift's xen levels with fresh HEV scientist corpses everywhere and evidence of recent human attempts to stop the invasion makes me wish some of the research camps were populated by actual survivors who tell barney where to go and what to do so you don't get the feeling that mr. calhoun is just thugging shit out and pressing random buttons just to see what happens

other than that and some sections dragging on a bit too long it's borderline perfect and fixes a lot of problems i personally had with vanilla black mesa's xen

@Joan: 1. This is still not Source 2, it's Source 1 :)
2. This would also happen in other physics engines... and the reality if you would drag such a long cable like that (We still thinking about a way to improve ergonomics for this prop tho)
3. Why are you taking the long way back to the generator instead of dragging it through that double door that was right next to its initial location?

Source 2 Engine physics is extremely old and outdated. I wish you guys would stop making physics-related puzzles like this. It's not fun.

Отвал башки! Мир Ксен изумителен!

having constant crashes when trying to load my campaign. this is what it says: IVP failed at c:\jenkins\workspace\bms_win32\src\ivp\ivp_collision\ivp_mindist_event.ccx 1261

That mod belongs to steam store. Even ready to pay fair price for such art

@Gravity, yes, read description before asking please

I installed the game 7 months ago, and I am subbed. Does anyone know if I need to continually install it for it to be updated or will steam workshop update it automatically?

@Artyomx10 No, the game will run fine just like it did previously

Will the new update crash the game?

о.свежие новости на mod db ..., отлично и радует что оставшиеся 3 главы будут в одном пакете а сумарно модификациция будет весить 15 ГБ в распаковыанном виде или около того,так это половина основной игры-та весила где-то 28Гб или около того,а значит точно нужна отдельная модификация в steam ,учитывая проблемы с запуском через батник
Ждём 2026 год,вернее конец 2026- начало 2027; В заключении : ЭТО предположение если что...

Ну так что, уже полностью вышла Blue shift или концовка в зене еще делается?

Will this remake be a standalone game rather than a campaign in the Black mesa Workshop?

Seconds ago I saw the Black Mesa requires update after I took the shower I was overjoyed, then I rush to this page the reality shatter my heart like Gordon Freeman's pelvis after sat on by Barney, it just Black Mesa update.

Well guess I'll just uninstall and install back the game after the addon update is out. Whoever is going to awake me remember to bring a shovel as my heart and my soulless body sink to the abyss.

I am having a great time playing this. You can tell lots of love went into this. Well done! :) 10/10

Why didn't you just publish it as a DLC? It's a chore trying to play this. Subscribing doesn't work.

I will also point out that Black Mesa originated as a Half-Life 2 mod before Crowbar Collective turned it into its own game, which is why it uses the Source 1 engine and not Source 2. Source 2 is Half-Life: Alyx.

I played the mod at 2K internal res on my 1080p monitor with the HUD off and was blown away. Superb art, level design, and atmosphere. A few puzzles/platforming bits feel harsh and under-explained:
• Rail-station gate – requires using the rocket turret, but radio only warns about incoming HECU; nothing happens if you just wait.
• Xen factory pile-driver climb – crouch-jump triggers a slide, so the tiny platforms make the vertical parkour unforgiving.
• Final Xen grenade dunk – the two targets sit so far apart you need a near-perfect throw.
Even so, it recaptured the magic of my first Half-Life playthrough. Huge recommendation.
Tip: run it at 2K internal resolution (even on 1080p) and max the graphics—the visual boost is dramatic. Bind a HUD toggle (bind o "toggle cl_drawhud 0 1") or drop it in autoexec.cfg so you don’t retype it every session.

This is Source 1…not Source 2. Source 2 is a VERY recent engine.

Joan, Black Mesa actually runs on the Source 1 engine, the same engine that runs Half-Life 2. It was modified using a physics engine called Havoc. That part of your review is wrong.

OK, review here.

I think this is a generally good mod, but have some major problems.

1. The Source 2 engine is very outdated in physics, so many physics related gameplay mechanics just don't play well by 2025 standard. Ladders for example.
2. Some level design and puzzle design are very confusing and slow the general gameplay pace. Some puzzles took me very long time to figure out without watching any instructions.
3. Many balance issues. Some combat are extremely tough even in easy mode, and ammo are very few. Too many mindless combat and too few ammo.

Thanks for the hard work. But I don't like this mod. Black Mesa itself is much more well designed.

Мне очень понравилась глава Focal Point, но показалась длинноватой, плюс некоторые совсем неочевидные моменты типа того что только глок может стрелять под водой и затянутое сражение у пушки с порталом почти в конце, нужно его переработать с точки зрения разнообразия. и целом было бы неплохо не самые интересные моменты просто вырезать, потому что по длительности глава чуть ли не как целая игра отдельная

Шикарное дополнение! В некоторых аспектах даже лучше основной игры. Гораздо больше, насыщеннее чем оригинал! Анимации высший пилотаж! Что самое крутое они отличаются от ванильных анимаций Гордона, делая Барни более индивидуальным. Второстепенные герои ещё лучше освещены! Отличное внимание к деталям. Очень жду оставшиеся главы!!! Надеюсь этот мод выйдет как полноценное DLC к Black Mesa с новыми достижениями. Оно того заслуживает!!!

we need black mesa :opposing force

This mod is awesome. After I made 100% at Black Mesa I tried to play blue shift and opposing force but it was too painful because of bad resolution scaling. So this mod made at least one of them replayable.
