You wake up in a dark alley, not knowing anything. What has happened anyway? You struggle after the truth and answers. Answers you want to know in the darkness and fear, which makes your heartbeat race like violent blows against your head. Where do "they" come from? What has happened? Are you just turning insane? The time is up; you can't stay there reading your smses forever. It's time to head out and find the answers. Cry of Fear is a singleplayer modification of Half-Life 1 which brings you the horror you've always been afraid of. It's a total conversion of Half-Life 1, which means it uses NO Half-Life 1 content or other peoples' files. It's all made exclusively by the developers. It also uses new gaming styles that you will rarely find in Half-Life mods, such as advanced cutscenes and other stuff that will be revealed at a later date.
Cry of Fear 1.2 has gone live! Today marks the 1 month anniversary of the mod's release, and to date we've had over 106,000 downloads! That's an absolutely incredible number, and we'd like to thank you, the community, for making it happen.

Cry of Fear 1.2 has gone live! Today marks the 1 month anniversary of the mod's release, and to date we've had over 106,000 downloads! That's an absolutely incredible number, and we'd like to thank you, the community, for making it happen. So without further ado, here's the Cry of Fear 1.2 change list:
1. Launch the CoF app program (the shortcut that generates on your desktop when you install Cry of Fear). If you don't have the shortcut, you can manually find the .exe in this directory:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\yourusername\half-life\CryOfFear\CoFLaunchApp.exe. Once your launch program is up, simply click "CHECK FOR UPDATES", and it will download it and install it for you automatically. Once the install is done, restart Steam.If you want to download manually, you can do so here: www.cry-of-fear.com/patches/patch.exe
For you who have not yet tried Cry of Fear, please download it from here down below:
Another thing we're doing today is releasing the tools for creating your own maps for Cry of Fear. This includes fgd files, information on programs to use, wad textures and more. If you have any questions, head over to the forums and make a topic with your question there.

Cry of Fear Official Soundtrack
Since we've had a lot of requests about this, we've finally released the official Cry of Fear Soundtrack! It contains 50 songs of emotional and horrifying music, along with many other secret unused songs that we planned to have in the game. The songs are mastered and mixed to suit best as music rather than in-game music for a game.
You can find the album here:
The album will be available on iTunes in a couple of weeks, as it's currently being authorised by them.
We hope you will like this album! Since a lot of effort has been put into it.
We hope that you will enjoy this patch and the soundtrack of course! And if you want to get more news and stuff, why not like us on Facebook? We usually post about Cry of Fear every day! So head to us here:

Anyways, see you out there, and hopefully you will cry of fear.
Minuit out.
My congratulations and thanks for the patch.
Glad to see you guys are patching it pretty frequently *brofist*
Keep up the good work.
"Added new scary thing in co-op"
Patch v.1.2 cumulative?
...I ******* love you guys...really xD
I can't seem to switch firemodes with the burst pistol, but I've done it before, it's weird. Any ideas?
The VP70 has never supported switching firemodes. Only the M16 does.
But IRL the shoulder stock in VP70 has a switch firing modes. If you add this possibility in the game - it's would be ok.
agreed the VP-70 should have its semi auto fire mode added :/
Also on another note does this fix the ammo bug for the .45 Ruger pistol? The one were every time you draw the gun the previously loaded clip of ammo disappears.
Weird, I know I've done it before and it was kinda ******* me off cause for some reason 3 round burst seems incredibly weak compared to semi-auto, at least it seems to do just as much damage in one shot as it does with the 3 round burst.
It has never been possible.
Perhaps an explanation why would put the comments at bay?
No explanation. It just wasn't added. Why does there need to be one?
Why are you responding like someone's demanding your dental records. It was just a question dude.
"Removed being able to manually save :yow:"
WHATTTTT!!!!
thanks for the patch.. you guys rock!
- Added new scary thing in co-op
awesome, time to finally test coop soon then i guess. :)
Removed being able to manually save?
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
dude get over it, even when I REALLY needed to save I didn't resort to saving manually.
(buried)
Way to ruin the game.
Stop whining.
And here he goes again... Do you love to do this to mods? I suppose all your sucking up to Mxthe to Underhell is going to lead to some massive troll attack by you or something in order to stop Underhell or something. You just love criticizing mods like this, and when they don't fit your tastes, ot the team does something you don't approve of, you go off on them, just like this, Notes, and NovaCor: The Fringe.
I'm sick of you, lots of others are sick of you, and you need to shut up.
Good stuff.
I know the internet doesn't pick up sarcasm well, but just look at the above posts.
I see people congratulating the team on the update, someone asking about changing firemodes, and two people complaining that manual saves were removed. Oh, and then there's you... So apparently these congratulations to the team were sarcastic responses? Nah, didn't think so.
Wait you got rid of manually saving? Ah well, who needs that when you have notarget?
SHHHHH!
Freaking pansy, manuals for pussies
AWESOME UPDATE! But white screen still not fixed? :(
Is the update not installing for anyone else? The website doesn't work either.
"Fixed monsters not resetting to their original position during level changes (ex. taller in Waspet Gardens)"
GODDAMMIT, CRY NO MORE!
now I can move further.
That's **** is tight.
Thanks for support.
*epic breakdown*
I seem to be having a problem when loading a previous save.
After the update to 1.2 I am no longer able to play my saves.
When the save is loaded up to the game, I hear music but the game freezes and crashes if I try to click on anything.
I will say that I got the 'Camera of Death' when I probably wasn't supposed to. I got it after beating the game on it's lowest difficulty and have kept it with me ever since, even in my current game save.
As the Change List states, this glitch has been removed.
Could the removing of the camera cause my porblem with the loading to occur, since the saves I am loading have the camera in my inventory still?
If it is possible, i'd like to know of a fix. Preferably without having to delete my current game progress.. :/
Love the mod!
Mind pm me your save folder and scriptsettings.dat please? We need it to investigate it so we can fix it
THANK YOU FOR THE TRAIN MONSTERS that part was a bitch.
cant wait to play coop
"Fixed taller (giants) not attacking when you're crouching"
Uh-oh... :)
how can i hold two items at the same time (ex. mobile and glock)? i see other people do it while i can't, it just ****** me off!
Assign the items to slot 1 through slot 3. If knife is on slot1 for example and phone is slot 2, you just press 1 and 2 at the same time. Or go into ur inventory and click dual wield and click any 2 items.

I need half-life 1 for this?
(buried)
Yes but only Half-Life (WON) version v1.0.0.5 will work for this mod.
im happy for this update and any 1 know any good amnesia cs coz i really need one thanks
Removing manual saving. I won't be able to finish the mod now.
Awesome, I figured they were going to make another patch. :)
Still doesn't fix my problems with the lighting engine. Guess I should give up playing this. :\ Really, really, really sucks.
You're not the only one man, everyone has them.. just ignore them.
But the flashlight literally doesn't work. It's a mess.
Xfire.com
And seriously? Anyone who can't beat the game without manual saving seriously has to suck quite a bit in survival horror, or atleast should switch to easy or something. Even if one died, there are plenty of saving points scattered around the game.
everytime i go to launch cry of fear through desura it doesn't work? the DLL is missing can someone help?
IM JUST DOWNLOADING THIS BUT DO I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE PATCH FOR IT TO WORK
lol check out this chinese game reviewer ******** his pants playing Cry of Fear Youtu.be
Awesome music, I really liked it! ruMpel is the man.
maybe in your next update, you can make CoF compatible In other video modes, Like Software or D3D
By the way, awesome game
Ok, custom updater; but why force Desura users to use it?
