halflife VS steam-for-linux

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

Anyone else noticing this? I don't believe I'm going insane. For a while now my download speeds, regardless of chosen server, are always slower in the Linux client compared to in Windows. Is the only appropriate place to post about this here -> https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Steam-for-Linux ? Would be great to know that I'm not the only one being affected.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues Its seems to be a problem happening only to Nvidia GPUs. Not only Mint but many other distros A temporary solution is to open Steam from the Terminal using "steam -vgui"

I just spent a few hours working on that problem that Steam takes very long to appear. I did not have xdg-desktop-portal-gnome installed, and Steam is the only application that has that problem, so it's not the one from the update forum post. What my (and probably your) problem is, is this one: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9780. Some bug where CEF gets stuck in a loop. When I executed steam --reset an error about steamwebhelper and glibc appeared like 50 times, each taking a few seconds.

Hey I had the same issue - are you running this on Linux? On my arch machine I had this problem and was able to resolve it via the advice in this thread: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9640
