Hello Scientists! We've deployed a hotfix surrounding issues recently reported to improve your experience around the facility.

Changelist:

• The launcher now informs players of any missing dependencies required to play Black Mesa along with information on how to download and install them.

• Reworked ragdoll separation solver for stability and correctness:

  • Replaced old bone separation logic with a trace-based solver that resolves occluded or embedded bones,

  • Ensures hierarchy-correct traversal by sorting bones by tree depth before applying fixes,

  • Uses trace normals and parent-to-child constraints to reposition bones without excessive separation,

  • Scales inherited velocity by mass ratio and biases resolution based on contact direction,

  • Added debug overlay (r_debug_ragdoll_separation_solver) for visualizing correction passes,

  • Minor cleanup of redundant vector normalization and more consistent use of safe math
