Hello Scientists! We’ve deployed a hotfix surrounding issues recently reported to improve your experience around the facility.
Changelist:
-
The launcher now informs players of any missing dependencies required to play Black Mesa along with information on how to download and install them.
-
Reworked ragdoll separation solver for stability and correctness:
-
Replaced old bone separation logic with a trace-based solver that resolves occluded or embedded bones,
-
Ensures hierarchy-correct traversal by sorting bones by tree depth before applying fixes,
-
Uses trace normals and parent-to-child constraints to reposition bones without excessive separation,
-
Scales inherited velocity by mass ratio and biases resolution based on contact direction,
-
Added debug overlay (r_debug_ragdoll_separation_solver) for visualizing correction passes,
-
Minor cleanup of redundant vector normalization and more consistent use of safe math
-
