Description and demonstration
One day I was playing Hazard Course and noticed an overlapping text and duplicated descriptions in couple of spots. Also some of the text was simply missing and, because of that, tutorial felt a bit uncomplete. So, I've decided to fix it and soothe my inner perfectionist for good.
If you want to do the same, make your Half-Life: Blue Shift copy even better or whatever other reason you have - this patch is for you.

BONUS: There is one chapter in the game called "Power Struggle", where its name is being shown second time in the middle of the chapter (see the screenshot below), so I've decided to remove this duplicated title, leaving only the first one, which is being shown in the beginning of said chapter.

Download links and installation
You can download it from my Google Drive[drive.google.com]and Mediafire[t.ly]
If you, for some reason, don't want to use short URL or it will stop working, then you can copy a direct link to download page on Mediafire (remove the space before "com"): mediafire. com/file/r9sp1lmyrrp3j5w/Hazard_Course_text_fixes_for_Half-Life_Blue_Shift.rar

Installation is very easy:

1. Open your Half-Life directory, which is located in "Steam\steamapps\common", or go to your Steam library, press Right Mouse Button on Half-Life, hover your cursor on "Manage" and click on "Browse local files".

2. Open the downloaded archive. If you are using the latest version of Half-Life and Blue Shift, then open the folder called "New version", if not - open the folder "Old version [steam_legacy]". Then drag the folder called "bshift_addon" into your Half-Life directory.

3. When the process of copying files will be finished, launch the game, click on "Options", go to the tab "Content" and check the option which says "Allow custom addon content", as it is shown in the screenshot below. Then press "Apply" and the game will restart automatically.


























And that's it, now you have successfully installed the patch.

Note: These fixes won't apply to your old Hazard Course and "Power Struggle" chapter saves, you will see the changes only when you will start a new game and create new saves.
