Black Mesa: Blue Shift

Relive the Black Mesa Incident as Gordon Freeman's best friend - Barney Calhoun!

This is a work-in-progress modification, the content may change in the future.





This method allows Blue Shift to automatically update from the Steam Workshop!
Important: If you already have an active "bshift" folder in Black Mesa root directory, you have to delete it or otherwise the symbolic link might fail to create!

-Go to "*/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/362890/2424633574";
-Launch the "bshift_gamelink.bat" as administrator;
-Check, if the symbolic link "bshift" has been created in the Black Mesa root directory ("*/Steam/steamapps/Common/Black Mesa");
-Done.



-Subscribe to the mod in Workshop and wait for it to download.
-Go to your Library, click right mouse button on Black Mesa, go to "Manage" and click on "Browse local files";
-Go from current directory ("steamapps/common/Black Mesa" up to the "steamapps" folder;
-From this directory, go to "workshop/content/362890/2424633574";
-Once you locate the mod files, double click on "bshift_install.bat" and follow what it says.
-Done.



Important: Delete the old "bshift" folder from the Black Mesa root directory before copying the new one or you'll face some issues.

-Go to "*/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/362890/2424633574";
-Copy the "bshift" folder and the .bat files into your Black Mesa root directory ("*/Steam/steamapps/Common/Black Mesa");
-Proceed to the launch instructions.

Important: You will have to do this again each time a new version is released since Steam will only Update your workshop folder!




-Go to "*/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/362890/2424633574";
-Launch using the .bat files.



-Launch the game via "Black Mesa: Blue Shift" or "Black Mesa: Blue Shift (Old UI)" shortcut on your Desktop. This is the Step 5 in the installation video.


-Go to your Black Mesa root directory ("*/Steam/steamapps/Common/Black Mesa/");
-Launch using the .bat files.



-New UI: Go to Black Mesa game properties in Steam and type "-game bshift" into your launch options.
-Old UI: type "-game bshift -oldgameui" into your launch options.


Important: Don't forget to remove this entry when you want to play Black Mesa again.

- Game may hang when starting (Fix: Please wait a few minutes, some machines may take a while to boot the game)
- The new UI is highly likely to crash the game on loading/opening menus (Use -oldgameui as launch parameter if you launch it via Steam)
- DXVK still might cause some visual issues in a few areas on certain systems
- Some captions and display messages are still missing on certain language settings
