I did the whole story, oh my GOD it was a masterpiece but it felt a lot stressful compared to the other Half Life games I played, max difficulty felt like a walkthrough except you need the patience of a Dark Souls III player. Overall, its a 10/10 mod for this game, should be a seperate dedicated DLC.

I dont know if its just me but the new update kinda broike the Installation process for me. Ive tried reinstalling the mod for like 4 times now, not sure what im doing wrong. The installation now gives less files, i dont get the bat file or ui files. I followed what one of the files advised me to do,but it actually deletes the rest of the blue shift files that ive just downloaded. Yes I did uninstall the older blue shift. I dont know what to do. I really want to play the new update :(

Black Mesa: Military its kind of opposing force remake?

It does extra damage to account for this. But yes we wanted melee to require more accurate timing.

ive noticed the crowbar in this has been significantly changed we can no longer swing at at ultra speed like Gordan can.

A really good remake, same as Black Mesa for HL1. It is nice to see how a 25-ish year old game still receives care and attention from the community - especially this one, which always felt rushed and short.

I don't always agree with some of the changes ( trainyard level tbh feels overkill, with too much open spaces and fights; there's a bit too much banter and chatting between friendly NPCs in the later stage of the game; most of all, everything is too brightful and colourful, like Black Mesa, and this vibrant world, especillay in Xen, to me does not fit well with the Half Life universe, which always had grim, acid and shallow colours ) but overall everything is consistent and fun to play.

A few performance issues and crashes (2k monitor, RTX4070, Intel i5 12600k, 16GB DDR5 ram, Asus Pro Z690-A WiFi) but I'm sure they will get fixed in next updates.

Solid work, keep it up!

After translation through the translator, there may be some parts that are unreasonable or hard to understand. Please forgive me
I have to say, this is an absolutely stunning mod. Thanks to all of you for your efforts. Both my nine-year-old brother and I absolutely love it. However, there are some shortcomings to this mod, such as the relatively weak game guidance. I personally feel that this issue is particularly evident in the Xen part, where the experience isn't great. But what I like most are the lively NPCs and the various scenes that have been recreated, which are simply captivating. Me and my little brother will looking forward to the updates for this fantastic mod

"should do just fine at 4K max settings"
Unfortunately that's just not the case. While it is true that Source Engine is old and well optimized, it is well optimized for older systems. Black Mesa still relies on DirectX 9 which is now 21 years old. Back then developers had no fathomable idea that a game like Black Mesa would still be running on it. Black Mesas deferred rendering engine runs on top of the games existing engine, which essentially means the world has to be rendered twice. And because of this, DirectX 9 gets heavily bottlenecked by the number of mesh drawcalls have have to be sent from CPU to GPU as it lacks optimizations made in newer DirectX versions. And this is just one example too.

Even new CPUs will struggle to pass that much data across, and unfortunately there's very little to be done about it except to downgrade the visuals.

@Igor
Black Mesa is 5 years old already!
Regardless, it's a very light game, requiring just a quad core, 8GB of RAM and a 4GB GPU, should do just fine at 4K max settings with that hardware listed by @Malata Società, although I'm not familiar with laptop versions of the mentioned chips.
Yes comparing it with HL2 makes no sense, also @Malata Società it's possible that this Blue Shift, being an unfinished mod, could definitely have stability issues.
That's why I'm waiting for it to be finished before even trying it

Your problem is your using an oldish gaming laptop to run a brand new game at max settings and then comparing it to a 21 year old game at max settings, baffling really. A good fix would be a turning down your graphics to a reasonable level for your hardware or getting a new computer.

??????????????

So here's my experience with my gaming laptop. Without getting too caught up in chatter about the components, I might as well go with my RTX 2070 and 32 GB of dual-channel RAM at almost 3000mhz, obviously with an SSD. Well, at this point, let's also add the CPU, which is practically an i7 10750h. Now I'd like to understand why Black Mesa at full max occasionally has some minor slowdowns in 4K, while Half Life 2 at full max runs fine. On the other hand, Blueshift at full max 4K has a few more slowdowns than Black Mesa. Is this normal or is it just me? Or maybe the requirements aren't enough, even if that seems impossible to me... tell me what you think, I don't know.

Есть встроенный русификатор в игре?

Короче бред, заработало, просто запускалась минут 5-10 :/

Сделал все в точности по гайду, стим показывает, что запустилась BM, но игра не стартует(
не через стим, не через ярлык

yeah fr opposing force would be great

Hi. Do you plan to do Opposing Force?

Finally!

Amazing mod I thought it was made by the original creators at first. But it was top notch added so much compared to the original half life blue shift it was incredible amazing game I loved playing it. I'm excited for the new chapters to release.

The updated version of Blue Shift is really good and the final sequence when Barney comes back through the teleporter is the BEST!!

figured it out

the 2424633574 file isnt appearing for some reason

I saw your news from 25,11.2025, and took it for a new update to the BS remake, but alas... Anyway, dear HECU Collective, not everyone has powerful PCs and not many can afford new peripherals. So, I'm thinking of either releasing a light update with fixes and optimizations for Chapter 5 and other minor tweaks, or a full release of the BS remake itself. It's up to you to decide on updates, but in any case, the Source 1 engine isn't as demanding compared to 2, and it's possible to tweak it to the point where the game simply won't launch. Keep that in mind, and thank you in advance!

Here's another Dear HECU Collective, when I tested a new update for the BS remake, a HUGE pros was that levels started loading faster and optimization improved, except for Chapter 5, which has become less optimized and can even crash occasionally for NO reason or errors. When it was released last year with Chapter 5, there was only minor lag and no problems. As a reminder, my PC system requirements are: Intel i5 6500 3.20 GHz processor, NVIDIA GeForce 750 (not a Ti), 16 GB of RAM (previously 8 GB), and an MSI motherboard (I can't remember the exact model).

So here's my experience with my gaming laptop. Without getting too caught up in chatter about the components, I might as well go with my RTX 2070 and 32 GB of dual-channel RAM at almost 3000mhz, obviously with an SSD. Well, at this point, let's also add the CPU, which is practically an i7 10750h. Now I'd like to understand why Black Mesa at full max occasionally has some minor slowdowns in 4K, while Half Life 2 at full max runs fine. On the other hand, Blueshift at full max 4K has a few more slowdowns than Black Mesa. Is this normal or is it just me? Or maybe the requirements aren't enough, even if that seems impossible to me... tell me what you think, I don't know.

This is one of the most Nuts Sourcemods ive played ever

@Cadence You're a real one for this, my link finally works.

I cant download it as the workshop thing isn't in my folder

when you are going tu upload the second part? commong guys, you are awsome, i really enjoy to play this blue shift version!!!!!

Actually incredible, I was blown away by how good this was. Murdock and Otis are amazing the Chumtoad easter egg is AMAZING I grabbed him on my first playthrough for ♥♥♥♥♥ and gigs. So excited to see the final release of this. The crew has been doing amazing. I live the little jokes you guys put in. Whoever the burger face is made from... That ♥♥♥♥ killed me when I found it in Xen.

Also really really enjoyed the Xen base. Leading up to the Grunt fight. Reading the timeline of what happened between a17 the lambda lab and Xen. So good. I enjoyed this more than I did Black Mesa.

На мой взгляд, главу Точка Фокусировки слишком переусложнили и задушили. В оригинале Барни был всего лишь охранником в бронежилете и каске и у него нет средств биологической и радиационной защиты. В ремейке мы наблюдаем как Барни не только выносит все плевки буллсквидов и ударные волны от хаундаев, но и голыми руками разрушает местный аналог цитадели альянса (реактор темной энергии или что-то типа того), при этом уничтожая тысячи контроллеров и грантов, словно на нем HEV-костюм последней модели.

Sound problem.

Just "finished" the game, great game even if it's not finished. Can't wait for the end. I ended up jumping off the Lift and got the "Really..." comment, that gave me chuckle.

As always, great stuff, just finished last chapter. Well made, no hiccups. If only it would be possible to just subscribe to mod and play it directly from game menu, that would be cherry on top.

Help, the mod doesn't run chapters

how to make csm shadows darker?

I Want To Believe

I Want To Believe

when will the rest chapter release

nice installer... so dumb

this: mklink /J bshift %~dp0\bshift

needs to be: mklink /J "bshift" "%~dp0\bshift"

for the symlink install to work properly

@Jofoyo anyway thanks

w mods

Remove -oldgameui from the shortcut and it will launch with the new ui. We really recommend you don't though.

@Jofoyo
Ok, so until it becomes stable, I will always launch the game like this "-game bshift -oldgameui" But is there still a possibility to launch it with the new ui and see if it doesn't crash or have you completely disabled it?

It was always unstable. The only difference between the two is that the New UI has fancier menus.

@Jofoyo
Thanks for the reply, finally. Anyway, I read some comments and from what I understand the problem is that the normal one is no longer available because it has become highly unstable with this latest BlueShift update, right?
