C'est la vie. Thanks for looking into it.

I have a problem playing this mod with Xash3D. At the end of "Night Shift" the French woman is typing at a console to open a portal. I see relevant dialogue, then a flash as the portal powers up, then she just keeps on typing and typing and never stops, and the game fails to advance. I tried several versions of Xash3D including the one linked in an earlier post. Of those that will run the mod at all, they all exhibit the same problem.

Then I copied my mod folder and ran it under Steam HL and it worked. After getting past the stuck point, I copied it back to Xash3D and was able to continue.

Is there a fix/workaround (other than the awkward temporary switch to Steam) for this problem?

Anybody tried to download this recently? All I get is a "download timeout" message. (Posted a note about it in the moddb.com support forum.)

Trying 1.04.5 for the first time after playing several times with 1.03. I've encountered a problem: I cannot select every weapon that's in my inventory. Specifically, that ray-gun thing (forget the actual name) appears in the weapon list at left, but it can't be selected by pressing the key I assigned (pressing the key has no effect) or by scrolling to next/previous weapon with the mouse wheel (scrolling just skips over it). Any fix for this?

Yeah. I tried it again later and it worked. Some sort of intermittent issue. Who knows why.

Trying this for the first time, and the mouse wheel doesn't work with eDuke32 build 9275 or 9468 (the latest). Oddly, with an older build 8003, it works fine. And when I play vanilla Duke with the later builds, the mouse wheel works. Only when I use this mod with later builds do I have the problem. Anybody else encounter this issue?

Found a solution to my problem. Using Xash3D FWGS from GitHub (https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs) instead of the one included with this mod causes textures to display properly.

Update: I see the same effect in Half-Life and Blue Shift. The ground and walls look like they're suffering from motion blur when I'm standing still. Not playable unless I can fix this issue.

I followed the installation instructions carefully and it seems to be working except for one thing: many textures (walls, floor) when viewed from an an angle are extremely blurry. When I look straight at them, they look fine.

So far, I've tried only Opposing Force. (I have screenshots but have no idea how to embed links here as I've seen others do, and no Web search has yielded instructions. I'll post links if somebody can tell me how.)

Any ideas?

Update: I'm using Creative ALchemy to get 3D sound. With some experimenting, I found that enabling "Hardware Mixing" in the game settings causes these gun sounds to disappear when using the Rivarez mod. But I just deleted the "guns\Snd" folder to revert to vanilla sounds, and things work properly again. I'll just have to forego the enhanced guns sounds. Good enough.

Just bought F.E.A.R. Platinum on GOG and tried to use this mod. The mod worked great with my earlier retail release of F.E.A.R. on CD, but with this version I get no weapon sounds from the assault rifle or SMG. Looking at the mod contents, I see it includes replacement sounds for those two weapons. Is there a known incompatibility with F.E.A.R. Platinum and/or the GOG release? Is there something special I must do to get it working?

Never mind. Found through PCGamingWiki that I must set the display mode to Borderless Window for this to work. I had been using Full Screen.

Just gave this thing a try and it didn't seem to work. My monitor's 1920x1200 and I entered those values in the patcher, but I'm still getting a letterbox display in the game. Any suggestions?

Good to know. Thanks for the response. Will look forward to the next release. In the meantime, enjoying a playthrough with the older version. Very nice HL engine BTW. Keep up the good work.

Giving Invasion a go and everything works so far except subtitles. I see the box where they should appear but it's empty. That is, no text. This is with Xash3D 4097 on 64-bit Windows 7.

I've installed the main Invasion mod, the Invasion 1.1 patch, and the Invasion Remod.

FYI the exact same mod configuration (I copied the mod folder) works under WON Half-Life 1.1.1.0. It also works under Xash3D 3887 which I happened to have lying around. (And by "works" I mean the subtitles appear as they should.)

Perhaps there's a simple fix I can apply? I'd prefer to use the more recent Xash3D if I can get the subtitles working.

Update...

OK this is weird. I went back to the older Xash3D and now subtitles don't work there either. I changed absolutely nothing between the time they worked and the time they didn't (literally I tried it immediately before posting my original note and went back to it immediately after intending to continue playing the mod). So I completely deleted the mod and reinstalled it. Now subtitles are back with the older Xash3D. However, still no subtitles with the newer version.
