Valve have released a new Half-Life patch, and no, it has nothing to do with Half-Life 3. Probably.
Originally released in November 1998 as Valve’s inaugural title, Half-Life set the template for a generation of sci-fi shooters and is thought by many to be one of the greatest games of all time.
Whatever happened to Half-Life 3? Here’s the complete saga so far…
Here’s the patch details in full. Feel free to tear them to shreds in the hope of uncovering hidden secrets because I did that too and found nothing, my friends. Sniff.
Changes in this update are:
-
Fixed crash when entering certain malformed strings into the game console. Thanks to Marshal Webb from BackConnect, Inc for reporting this.
-
Fixed crash when loading a specially crafted malformed BSP file. Thanks to Grant Hernandez (@Digital_Cold) for reporting this.
-
Fixed malformed SAV files allowing arbitrary files to be written into the game folder. Thanks to Vsevolod Saj for reporting this.
-
Fixed a crash when quickly changing weapons that are consumable. Thanks to Sam Vanheer for reporting this.

And… that’s it. Enjoy, I guess. Insert your comment of choice about Half-Life 3 right here.
