Black Mesa Source

Even with the updated trackers posted the torrent would've taken me 2 hours to get.

I have work in a while so wont get chance to play til morning. Thanks all :)
 
Bunch of noobs. Just use the torrent for the love of god.

But it absolutely sucks, just like the direct links.

How is that I usually get around 6mb/s for anything I download, but EVERYTHING I try for this only gets me around 200-300kbps/s. Annoys me so much. I've been downloading since 16:00. Could have run a bloody marathon in that time. :(
 
Runs just like any other source game, extremely well on my i5 750, 8GB rAM and 4850 512MB at 1080P, everything set to max/highest.

The graphics are all right (pretty much half life 2 graphics, but slightly improved I think?), nothing special, many many games have much better graphics nowadays even COD IMO :p

Game looks amazing :D I did see however multi-core rendering couldn't be enabled :confused: it is also a bit stuttery in places, like there is frame skipping.
 
I'm impressed by the game, and feels very close to HL1, it's just my nostalgia set the bar a little too high, so I feel a little bit disappointed by it. By that, I mean the way in which some of the game looks, as good as it is, because it isn't EXACTLY how I remember it, I find myself being too picky and not enjoying it as much as I probably should. Still, that's just me, I will have to learn to accept the changes.

It's easily one of the best mods EVER though.

Did you add the 6 odd trackers that someone posted earlier? My experience was this:

Click to download torrent
Add 6 trackers
Wait 1.5 hours
Done

Just fire up the torrent and leave it alone. It will settle. There's a better torrent out now anyway on TPB by the looks of it with 500+ seeders.
Patience.
 
Little things are really bugging me, like the cart with the crystal on it that you push to do the experiment, in HL1 you could pull it as well as push it, in this you can only push :p
 
Many ISP's throttle torrents between 17:30 and 23:00.

I've uploaded just over 1gb so far. I'll leave it on for a few weeks
