[p][/p][h2]Summary:[/h2][p][/p][p]Today we'll be releasing Half-Life: Restored v1.5 patch, including bug fixes, new features and many more. And of course the long waited feature as well... All today right here, packaged in today's update.[/p][p][/p][h2]Developer comments:[/h2][p][/p][p]Hey everyone, it's been a while. Since 2022 i haven't able to push an update to Half-Life: Restored. So yeah it's been a three long years by now. You might be wondering why it took this long. There are several reasons why this update took long, one of them is me being burnout from Half-Life. Over the years i produced Half-Life content on YouTube and updates for the Half-Life: Restored and that gave me huge burnout so i had to take a stop. Plus, I’ve been dealing with life… and a bit of laziness, if I have to be honest.[/p][p][/p][p]In those years i was still working on Half-Life: Restored but slowly. I didn't spare too much time on it. People were also requesting an update so i felt obligated to finish what i've started. In this update there's not so many restoration stuff, but hugely fixes, stability fixes. But this update has one of the Most Wanted feature. So let's take a look at what's added in this Half-Life: Restored update..
