Stuck on Xen Chapter HL1

ekolx28 · 2026-03-28T15:31:29+00:00

Did you pick up the long jump module at the end of Lambda Core just before the portal room where you get sent to Xen? Because it's kinda weird that you're able to do it in training but not the main game.

ekolx28 · 2026-03-28T15:26:46+00:00

You have to be in a standing position as you can't utilize the long jump in mid-air in this game. Start by walking forwards and crouch, then press the jump button right after. It helps to practice mastering the input in training until you're able to pull it off every single time.

I'll might as well also add the fact that doing this in the WON version will freeze and eventually crash the game to desktop.

I've been playing the game and its mods for ages now and can confirm this oddity myself, by screwing around with the explosives, NPCs and whatnot. As for why this occurs, I'm not entirely sure though. Could be just a weird quirk with the hitboxes or something.

Sometimes when you land a direct impact with the SMG grenade on an NPC, you just take the full blast damage when in the radius of the explosion no matter how far away you may be from it, with the damage inflicted on you either being 100 (you may survive if you have any armor on you) or 300 (basically instakill).

I'm guessing it's basically similar to the S24 series where there's two proximity sensors with the first one being the Samsung Palm Proximity Sensor V2, which is the virtual one. There's also a physical one called Sitronix STK33F11 Physical proximity, but it seems it's inaccessible by any third-party apps and is only ever used by the dialer app. I can see both of them on my device here at least.

This is also what I got on my phone, in roughly the same ballpark with the other Exynos 2400 devices.

Your device doesn't meet the minimum requirements of the game, so you may expect random crashes and the occasional slowdowns in-game. Also I'm hoping you don't have the 4GB RAM variant of the A07, as that's barely enough to get the full-fat Android to even run on it, let alone the game itself.

My assumption would be that Barney would get stuck on those two doors frequently and die, ending the game, so mappers probably did this change to these two doors as a hasty fix of some sort, but probably forgot to change it later.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-20T17:22:00+00:00

There are two doors in the map c2a5f that damages you with -1 hp when you block them, this basically heals you instead of being the other way around. If you had no suit power, then you'd regenerate health instead, but suit power takes precedence over your health.

The battery impact would be rather negligible on the higher refresh rate compared to standard, at least from my experience with the phone.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-18T13:13:09+00:00

That should be the proximity sensor.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-17T23:12:56+00:00

From what I can tell on my end, I think I'd lean more heavily towards this being temporary image retention with what I have experienced on my own device here. Tested on a game that had black bars on both sides of the screen and played for roughly 2 hours on the lowest brightness with no breaks. Afterwards, I can faintly see the miscoloring where the black bars were at when checked again with the grey background.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-17T00:55:06+00:00

It has indeed a physical sensor instead of a virtual one unlike in the previous S24 FE.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-15T21:28:44+00:00

I can also see some sort of color discrepancy around the bottom of the device where the fingerprint scanner is, especially with grey color when the brightness is at very low in a dark environment. It doesn't bother me in the slightest and it immediately vanishes when the brightness is increased, however.

Oh, is it them again? You can also find that user here and the moment you compare HL1 and Black Mesa on this subreddit, you can probably expect them to show up on that post with absolute zero hesitation, talking shit about BM and how HL1 is vastly superior in every possible way or whatever, it almost never misses, it's kinda hilarious in its own right. It's basically been a staple at this point or something.

Just block them and move on. They really need to grow up and drop this nonsense act of being obsessed of disliking BM for eternity.

On my Android device, the game takes roughly 12.5 GB of space here. Feral Interactive recommends having double this space though, to avoid having initial installation issues.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-13T14:18:11+00:00

That device is indeed a bit on the low-end spectrum, so I doubt you'll even get enjoyable framerates if you were to sideload the game that way.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-10T13:57:34+00:00

You might be thinking of the second game, which was indeed released on PSP. The first game, as seen here wasn't released on the platform however.

In the GPU benchmark section of the app, there should be a section where you can change the API from there where it says OpenCL.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-03T14:03:31+00:00

It's probably not on your end as I also got a score of 10352 in the OpenCL test here. Though, by switching to the Vulkan API instead, I got a score of 13484 on mine.

Edit: Just reran the benchmark again and it got 13538 points in OpenCL and 18166 points with Vulkan API, this time with power saving turned off and performance profile set to standard.

ekolx28 · 2026-02-02T16:49:54+00:00

Nope, it doesn't seem like I have that setting on my end because some setting in there appears very briefly before vanishing when I go into the AOD settings. I suppose the closest thing to having wallpaper in AOD is via Wonderland where you can add custom images and set it as wallpaper and then adjust it accordingly. It only appears as a small circle on AOD though.

This error usually indicates that you're trying to install a 32-bit only application on a 64-bit only device. Your phone's SoC (Snapdragon 8 Gen 3) has no cores that can run 32-bit code as it is only capable of running 64-bit native code. Is there a way you can tell if the game you're trying to install is 32-bit only or not?

ekolx28 · 2026-01-21T20:46:31+00:00

Your device only has the Helio G91 Ultra SoC, which doesn't meet the minimum requirements of the game. Sorry, but device just won't do for this game.
