The following are fixed:
- Infinite AI loop crash in Carcinogenesis
- UnlitTwoTexture materials being invisible (most custom models), or drawn partly black (waves)
- Dropships getting stuck, and dropships being audible when they shouldn't be
- Episodic flashlight and ammo HUD icons not appearing
- Useless "Achievements" and "Developer Commentary" items appearing in main menu
There are also some improvements:
- Remastered several special effects in the Orange Box particle system
- Toned down brightness of HDR skybox, halved its memory footprint, and smoothed the horizon
- Decreased brightness of HDR reflections on Combine metals
- High-res menu backgrounds, plus the widescreen image is now 16:9 instead of 16:10
- Updated nodegraphs and sound manifests for quicker first time load
- Fixed a couple of console warnings about $abovewater
- Fixed a weapon-carrying exploit in Depth Charge
- Nicer desktop/Steam icons
*If you have saved games on Carcinogenesis/Depth Charge, you will need to restart from that map!*
To install this patch, install Metastasis then unzip the patch archive to your SourceMods folder. If you've
installed the alternative "Fix for May-2010 update", you'll need to delete the Metastasis folder
and do a fresh install.
Thank you kind sir
The first dropship in Depth charge doubles back for no reason and then gets stuck with the second. Is there any possible way to fix this?
I have never seen that happen in this build, nor has anyone else reported it. Can you reproduce the problem?
Hmm, it seems I can't as I reapplied the patch when it happened the first time. I probably deleted something I shouldn't have.
However the Stalker weapon leaving the laser "burn" effect still happens.

Problem: Crash with looping sound
Map: metastasis_2
After hitting switch that swings I-beams back and forth that crashes thru door. You double back- going downstairs to where the (3) turrets were- with that swinging I-Beams.
When arriving on lower level- several enemies appear- normally I dispatch them before proceeding thru door damaged by I-beams.
While engaging enemies game crashes with following error message:
Too many verts for a dynamic vertex buffer (36120>32768) Tell programmer to up VERTEX_BUFFER_SIZE
