Half-Life: Alyx

Half-Life: Alyx

LEVITATION (Part 1)
3D yellow "Error" text in game
The 2nd time I loaded the game, I have various 3d blocks of text co-exisiting inside the game that say "ERROR" in yellow. Anyone know how to get rid of them? They weren' there the first time I played.

The mod was just updated, any old save files will be corrupted. Please restart on a new save file.

Was just coming here to see what was going on as sequences wouldn't start. Safe to not play the mod until all parts / updates are done? as dont want to be half way and have to restart.

So we have to restart the whole thing with a new gamefrom level one ?

No you can choose to pick a later level depending on where you left off.

There will be another update in about one week, and that may be the last one if all significant issues are wrapped up and feedback addressed.

I tried that and it really shorted me on resin.
In my first playthrough, I had something like 25 resin by the time I found my first upgrader. Starting a new game at stage 3 puts me right at that upgrader, but with only 10 resin.

Yeah thanks thats what I ended up doing, I kind of thought I would try that and found a save from about 40 mins earlier that loaded ok and gameplay has continued just fine

This is a really excellent mod my only dislike is after you lose the weapons and have to unpower the machine and kill the hacks with the green orbs you the next level sees you still using the green orbs

I hate the green orbs

Are you serious ?
I am around at end of chapter one, should I restart from scratch ???

I guess there must have been another update. When loading a game save (Chapter 7, in some chamber where it looks like I'm about to face a Matrix-type robot), I am getting the 'ERROR' message in multiple places. Even reloading an earlier game save now has the 'ERROR' message popping up in numerous places.

I'm at the point if I have to start the game over from scratch again, I'll just stop playing the game. While I understand this is necessary from a developer perspective, starting a game over from the beginning, when I'm near the end, is certainly frustrating. Replaying this game for a 3rd time, not because I want to, but rather because I have to due to game mechanics beyond any control, has certainly poisoned my desire to complete the game.

You don’t have to start the entire mod over again, you can just choose the level you were on and start from there.

Oh, thank goodness. I'll give it a try. I was going off the impression that the 'Train Crash' fix required a restart from the very beginning, and I would be facing the same situation here.
Thank you for responding.

I gave it a try, and it turned out fine. Although I lost my own personal weapons mods, what was provided as the default turned out to be solid in its own right. I'm back to where I was, but am still trying to work out the strategy to defeat that Matrix-type multi-armed boss.

Thank you for taking the time to help me understand.

I'm in the beginnings of Pleasentville. I enter an open area with zombies, and you turn left onto a slope of cars and zombies. After killing them, you go down a small walkway and right there it says "ERROR" In yellow? How do i fix that? By going to a previous saved section?

No, the issue is going to a previous saved section at all. After the mod is updated you have to select what level you were on and start a new game, because all the old save files are corrupted.

I'm new to gaming mods, so when you say "After the mod is updated...." How would I know it's updated? Or do I do it manually? Sorry for being a simpleton on this.
