halflife VS Dota-2

It's a part of C++ project https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife

I wonder if this is something you can amend in the actual code here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife

I know the most known issue about overbright on github already states that they will not fix it, but that was from 2013 and thoughts about overbright issue could've changed since then. Plus I am running HL on linux and this issue Infuriates me since I'm stuck using the OpenGL renderer (which is the only renderer that has this issue). We've known that valve really likes their linux oriented approach, and plus we know they love their Deckies that they updated HL2 with fixes and QoL stuff, what's stopping them from fixing overbright?

Funnily enough, on Half-Life 1 engine-based games (i.e. the engine that came before HL2 - on which Team Fortress 2 runs; such as Counter-Strike 1.6), a different allocator problem exists -- glibc's malloc() just decides to fail miserably[0] on some setups.

I guess you have to either modify the code https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/blob/master/dlls/hgrunt.cpp

The original Half Life, including goldsrc, is source-available: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife

And in fact even their Half-Life 1 bugtracker on GitHub is policed: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues

Valve does this for a couple of their games, see a similar issue with Dota 2[0].

I'm on a M1 and experienced this once so far. Best bet would probably be to report the issue here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues

Many people are not happy with Linux's performance either.

The first program crashing is DOTA2, which seems to segfault a few moments after starting up, before an application window even spawns. This suggests to me it might be a Vulkan issue, and appears to be affecting some other users on rolling-release distros. The Github issue thread for it suggests it's caused by updating LLVM/clang to 16; I don't know if that's related, but I when I run zypper dup I do see the following package changes:

Had a similar issue – found this Github thread that was helpful. You can purchase the key directly through the in-game Treasury tab.

I've filed an issue on Valve's bug tracker, hopefully this gets fixed soon :(

Hey you can try searching the MacOS bug forum https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues or maybe even filing an issue. This definitely seems like a bug if it’s not something to do with your Mac Pro in particular. Do you know anyone else with a Mac Pro?
