It’s sapping the life out of me

I’m stuck at a bug in Half-Life1: in “We’ve Got Hostiles”, I’ve dealt with the soldiers and I head into the lift, but as it starts to rise (and the next sequence loads) it acts like I’m being squashed, and yet there’s nothing above me.

I found one reference to this problem (see [2.2.9] I get in the elevator at the end of “We’ve Got Hostiles”, and I die…) which confirms it’s a bug and says the only way round is to crouch as the lift rises. Well, I’ve tried that in various places on the lift’s floor and I still die. :(

I don’t mind being killed by the enemy (OK, I do but at least it’s usually fair) but being killed by a glitch in the game is just a little annoying.

    2. HTML version of FAQ – jump straight to [2.2.9]

    3. It’s not pretty, but I used the cheat codes to set “noclip” (walk through walls), got to the top of the lift shaft then turned it off again … and hit save!

Tell me what you're thinking...
