Wow i found a mayor bug, since hl2.exe crashes when i do the quest "Corrupt guard" with the graveyard thingy, i set the game to lowest graphic ( In advanced options ), but when i go to the graveyard, my dude stands upright with no weapons, no crosshairs, with his arms out, so that he looks like a cross! and also, suddenly the camera scrolls away from my character, and out of the map :P AND after the dialog is finished ( With both low and high graphics ) the game crashes...
We have tested every quest and didn't encounter this problem. That quest includes a scripted sequence, which would be playing in that moment. It is not likely to be a problem of the mod but a problem of a combination of possibly other modifications to the source-engine or your pc, unfortunately we could not predict the millions of configurations of PCs, which produce most of the bugs described here, the mod ran more or less stable on 10 different systems when we released it,
Having tried to play this game quite a bit, I have to say that it has a lot of potential. It looks great, the fighting system is fun, the items are cool and well modeled, the leveling system is fun, and the story and voice acting are pretty good.
Unfortunately, the good is kneecapped by the bad. This is the buggiest mod I have ever played for any game, and when it crashes it will require a hard reboot in order to get out of it. Worse, it tends to wipe out my save game when it crashes during a load screen so I have had to restart several times, and that just makes the intro areas really painful. I can't even bypass this by making my own save games because the mod bugs out when you do that too. I'll keep this on my watchlist in case it ever gets polished up, but currently I find it unplayable.
You guys better dont quit this game! xD
A-LOT of good mods have died this way, and im starting to get sick of it.
The best games so far that havent quit is this one and Master Sword Continued for HL2 ( Still under development ).
Keep up the good work!
