About This File
This is a patch for HL2: Update mod to update the game to the latest version of Source engine similar to vanilla HL2, basically this guide but are simplified, you just need to run the installer and choose the steamapps\common\HL2 Update folder and install (overwrite anything). Plus, SDL2 2.26.3 is also included.
Features:
- Vulkan is fully supported with no issues
- Gamepad UI is also supported + Community Commentary option added.
- Custom chapter backgrounds/images that matches the one from HL2 Update one.
- Along with other changes from the latest HL2 vanilla are also included aswell.
If you find some bugs aside the one from readme which i can't fix, comment it below, and beside I might be inactive so some bugs might not be fixed.
Also it's highly recommended that you don't download the older version (other than 1.0.3) on the changelogs, they are obsolete and contains lots of bugs, and nonfunctional Gamepad UI, always download latest one, 1.0.3 was the last oldest version that was recommended if you have issues with latest version (in case I release a newer version everytime Valve updated the vanilla game).
If you have any problems with downloads, try one of these mirrors:

Thanks to idk for making the patch based off my original tutorial, updated to 2023 version of the game by me.
What's New in Version 1.0.4.2 See changelog
Released
Windows version remain the same as yesterday. Mac & Linux updated.
Changes:
Source SDK
- Added Hammer++ and included GameConfig.txt
- Added detail.vbsp and lights.rad
Other
- Fixed Linux version (updated "hl2_linux" executable), now probably should work. Mac still untested and requires new executable for 64-bit Intel/Apple Silicon (post-Catalina).
- Updated SDL to [2.30.7](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/tag/release-2.30.7)
- Updated DXVK to [2.4](https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.4)
- Updated dxsupport.cfg to includes NVIDIA GPU from GTX 700 series up to RTX 40 series.
- This meant that the game will now set anti-aliasing, textures and other settings to highest on these GPUs by default when launching the game for first time. This does not apply to newer AMD/ATI systems as I don't have time to include them here.
- Minor changes to Chapter 14 thumbnail on Gamepad UI.
