I to, have the issue of it not starting due to some "gameinfo.txt" bug, which is actually there.

i have done as follows
i downloaded this, check
i found it, check
i then went into the ZIP and dragged the folder out into Black Mesa, NOT bms
i switched to public beta, check

and yet this does not work, any the only fixes anyone has mentioned properly is they accidentally put it in bms instead, so can someone please tell me an actual fix for this so i can play?
