Now here is a big surprise. Valve has released a new official patch for the first Half-Life game. The last time Valve updated Half-Life – with a beta patch – was back in 2013 and after almost four whole years, the team released a new update for its public release.
From the looks of it, this is a minor update that addresses some crashes and bugs. Still, it really surprised us to see an update for this really old title. And no, this does not mean that Half-Life 3 is under development.
This patch will be auto-downloaded from Steam, and below you can find its complete changelog.
Half-Life – Patch September 11th Changelog:
- Fixed crash when entering certain malformed strings into the game console. Thanks to Marshal Webb from BackConnect, Inc for reporting this.
- Fixed crash when loading a specially crafted malformed BSP file. Thanks to Grant Hernandez (@Digital_Cold) for reporting this.
- Fixed malformed SAV files allowing arbitrary files to be written into the game folder. Thanks to Vsevolod Saj for reporting this.

This does not mean that Half-Life 3 is not under development!
HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh man, imagine caring about this game though. Wow. Valve’s idea of optimizing the low end is nerfing the highest settings. I’m starting to be glad they don’t make games any more. They already had a completely messed up attitude when they made Episode 2. It really is probably a good thing they stopped.
My theory is that they nerfed the highest settings in order to sell more hats and cosmetics. Was it worthy? i don’t think so.
