Whilst I am still currently in heaven with this game and forcing delicious food into my face, for those who are about to play it this information may come in handy.
The game runs fluidly on my man's laptop, but on mine every 10 to 15 minutes or so my computer would completely crash and shut itself off. If this is happening to you, go to Steam. Right click Black Mesa > Properties > Launch. Type into the Launch textfield -console. Then run the game. It'll come up with the console box, in there type in mat_queue_mode -1 . The game by default runs on mat_queue_mode 2 but some PC's don't run it well. I do this everytime I start up playing Black Mesa.
Then just yesterday, I'd say maybe halfway through the game, it crashed again. So I'm not playing it through it's default mat_queue_mode, so I don't change anything in the console. So far that's sorter it. I imagine if it crashes again later on in the game, I'ma have to console it back to -1. Hopefully this'll help a few people!
So far though, the game is PERFECT. I hugely bum HL, Op Force & Blue Shift, this Black mesa is just a dream come true. It's the first HL just with better graphics and just a few things changed; dare I say, for the better.
Much to my pleasure, it's nothing like HL2, which in my opinion, was a really really really crap game. The storyline, functionality and atmosphere in HL1, BS & OF had those down to a tee, which seemed totally dissintergrated by the time they'd finished making H2.
Overall, Black Mesa is, in the words of Homer Simpson 'gllaaaaaaaaaaa'.
