Original Half-Life for Linux Receives Biggest Update in Years

After launching the original Half-Life on Steam for Linux, Valve has now started to push updates for this very old game.

Even if more than a decade has passed since the release of Half-Life, Valve still found some bugs that needed to squash.

Here are some highlights for the new Half-Life update:

• "con_mono" convar has been added; • Dedicated server logs have been fixed so they don't go into _addon or _download folders by mistake; • The game directory is now set correctly under Linux; • Music tracks have been set to correctly play across level change; • The "Paused" message is now shown when the user is pausing the game; • The sound track has been updated to 44kHz, 128kbit MP3 for better listening experience; • The “view jumping” has been fixed when coming in and out of VGUI1 menus under Half-Life, Team Fortress Classic and DeathMatch Classic.

More details about Half-Life can be found on the official Steam website.
