The problem with it must be related to GamePadUI or something idk, I got a similar problem when creating HL2: reUpdate (https://gamebanana.com/mods/429040), which basically porting all updates and patches from the updated Source engine in vanilla HL2 (after Steam Deck update) to Half-Life 2 Update (by Fillip Victor), and the controller stops working, but if you disable the new GamepadUI, the controller would work fine.

EDIT: Just use the latest Steam or Zoom Platform version instead, as it's included the fix out of the box, while also fixing the crashing issues and alot more. Everything above is now out of date.

It may be possible with Proton, but you need skills to install it, and it may or may not work.

Install ReShade first lmao. Select portal2.exe or Portal 2 if it's shows up on the list, select Direct3D 9, then install as normal, after that, install this mod and it's should works. If nothing works then make sure the effects are installed inside bin folder (unless if you are using DgVoodoo2 or something else for D3D11 renderer, then it's was outside).

You need to install ReShade from the official website after installing this mod, then use the Home button (in newer ReShade 4.x or 5.x), or Shift+F2 in ReShade 3.x.

Btw it is also recommended to disable MSAA in-game for ReShade depth buffer to work, which you can use more effect like ambient occlusions if you want.

To properly uninstall ReShade, Remove d3d9.dll file and reshade-shaders folder and it's ini files inside the game's bin folder, and the outside one if there's any. DO NOT DELETE THE ONE FROM SYSTEM32.

Probably the reviews was made before 2013. During around 2013, HL Source has been updated to new engine (during SteamPipe) and that cause massive bugs and glitches, these issues still remains to this day (almost) 10 years later.

You have to buy it on Steam, those version hosted on ModDB are version 9 and older, while free, it's was massively outdated and only useful for nostalgia.

Torrent is basically almost like normal downloading but with seeders, the seeders is basically a another person who already have the file download and it's currently sharing the file to you in order to boost download speed.

This is a issues that existed since 2013 during SteamPipe update, which broke some old HL2 mods that use Source 2007 and earlier, the original version of Black Mesa (the 2012 one, not Definitive Edition on Steam) was partially affected but it's remain playable aside from broken Chapter titles.

megakarlach - - 50 comments @ XBOX 360 UI MOD

lol i was trying to warning people at the time without testing the mod
but anyways I tried out the mod, still works on latest version (i'm using the X360UI mod with my 2022 engine patch) but there's a problem, there's no Dropship fix that allows it's gun to turn and shoots player anywhere (which Valve patched it on client.dll and server.dll with the 2022 Steam Deck patch), which makes the battle during the middle of Sandtraps level much easier as the Dropship only shoot when you stand directly in front of it.

See the video of that dropship part here, from the fully patched version of HL2 Update that i made, based off latest Steam Deck version:

(at 2:07)

This bug was also documented on VDC Wiki aswell:
Developer.valvesoftware.com

That dropship bug was there since 2010 when Valve ported HL2 to Source 2009, and still exist until 2022 when Valve finally patched it officially (but the HL2 Update on the other hand, does not include the fix as it's never been patched since 2015, so I ported the fix alongside the engine patch from vanilla game and got it to work with the update mod).

I wonder that this is fixable and beside, wonder if this also including a patch for the combine missing sounds and many other bug fixes that Valve introduced it in 2019 and 2022 respectively.

EDIT: This seems to be fixable as long there's source code for the server dlls:
Github.com

only notarget works, other cheats or using save/load will kill you instead. You can also use cheat engine if you want to increase health. You can use notarget then kill those monsters as normal and pick up their ammo as usual, and repeat it til around round 9/10 came.

as long as it's sourcemod or metamod, it's doesnt needs Steam or anything aside from sourcemod and metamod installed and it's must be latest version, plus the mod dependencies.

11 years later, it's 2022 now, the game sucked and still, Postal 3 is still unoptimized, RWS already retconned the game with P2 Paradise Lost, Akella is bankrupted not long after back in 2012 and even the fans declaring it that it's isn't a POSTAL game and doesn't even exist canonically at all.

And soon not long after, it got delisted on Steam due to the DRM issues which was broken 9 years ago, just after Windows 8.1 was released, so people would have to install a DRM patch to play the game on Win 8.1, 10 and 11 or later, which, only making things worse and crashes even more.

Edit 2023: The game has returned to Steam thanks to the people who used to work on Akella gave RWS access to the Store.

You need Source SDK 2006 to play this, and since SteamPipe update back in 2013 broke stuff, you may have to fix gameinfo.txt manually.

You probably need to use the old version of HL1, anything pre-SteamPipe build or WON 1.1.1.0 may work.

You might need to use the older version of HL1, such as the one before the SteamPipe update, I did have the 2005 build of the game (which also come with WON version wrapped into 2005 Steam build, which was used by some speedrunners).

beside, its must be the one from Source 2004 build, otherwise it may crash on load or refuse to load since some map was running BSP 20.
