Happy Summer, fellow scientists! Hope the axial tilt is finding you well. Black Mesa is discounted for the Steam Summer Sale, so tell all your friends! https://store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/ We also wanted to give a quick update on what we are up to. [h1]AMD Water Crash[/h1] There is a known crash with certain AMD cards when you reach the water in UC. We are going to deploy a beta so we can get proper crash reporting and then fix the crash. In the meantime, you can use the two launch commands below to fix the issue: +nr_gbuffer_for_secondary_cams_enabled 0 +cl_mdldetailfx_enable 0 Details in our sticky post [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/362890/discussions/0/4406291166509594466/]here[/url]. [h1]Reimplementation of DXVK[/h1] We have re-implemented DXVK on the [i]developer[/i] side of things. We’ve got to do another round of testing, then put it up for public beta. We are also exploring ways for Linux to launch DXVK directly for a better Linux experience that is more in line with the Windows build of the game. [h1]Intel Arc Cards[/h1] We now have an Arc card to test on, so we test on that to make sure the game works properly. We thought we had it all sorted on a previous patch, but we want to recheck it with proper hardware. If you encounter issues with ARC cards, you can use these launch commands to fix them: force_vendor_id 0x10DE -force_device_id 0x1180 -dxlevel 9 [h1]Start Up Crashes[/h1] We did a bunch of work with the last patch to make sure the game started and closed properly. We’ll look into these again (specifically the game startup) to make sure there are no lingering issues or that we didn't introduce new ones. We’ve been very busy solving Unforeseen Consequences from our last patch and [i]other things[/i]. Our community is extremely important to us and we want to be more consistent with patches, updates, and communication in general. We are very excited for what the future holds. We have been working tirelessly to get it out to the community. [i]Soon[/i]™. Again, we hope everyone is having a great summer (or winter, if you are down south). May your Steam backlog be plentiful!
