Mod review

I have been enjoying the hell out of this mod - lots of great work gone into it, love the tie-ins with the HL2 story, although there really isn't much of a story added here. Just survival.

There are some confusing areas, where it's not too clear on what the 'right' way is to advance - although I kind of like that, it reduces the hand-holding HL2 had.

But what's awful is that I've also hit the exploding zombie bug, where it's supposed to blow open a door. I looked at someone else's walkthrough, and there's supposed to be a zombie and some lockers there, that you can see through the window. But neither the zombie nor the lockers are there, like they didn't spawn. I went back many fights to reload, back to before the giant Antlion/zombie hall. Still doesn't spawn.

So I'm stuck, and it's likely I just won't finish. I don't want to start a whole new game, as a test, just to have to stop at the same bug.

(But I might, because this mod is actually pretty fun.)

ADDENDUM: Found the solution. Desura installs the 2.0 version, I believe, which unfortunately is missing an entire map. Download the 1.3-2.0 patch at moddb manually, unzip it somewhere temp, then copy /maps/dw_ep1_03a.bsp to your install of DW in Steam. Good to go!
