Performance Problems?
If you are having performance problems, try setting your game to low settings and turning off any other software that might be using up computer resources. HLA is a game that stress any hardware, and our map pushed engine limits while still attempting to stay performant.

If your performance issues persist, please list the areas you’re are having issues, the nature of the issues, your hardware setup, settings, and any other software you are running. This includes things like recording software, headset types, if you are using vulkan, etc.

No guarantee we can fix the performance issues, but this will help us run down least common denominators. HLA and this addon can really push a system, but if we gain any insights, we will attempt to apply them.

If you want to give us even more useful information, and you have not played HLA in a while, I recommend you play some of its more intensive graphical sections and let us know if you experience similar or better performance.

I cannot get to play. I go through the whole intro and then it tries to load up, but fails and exits the game.

We are experiencing issues with the Vulkan rendering API. Trying to debug it at the moment, but the issue is hard to track down. If you can, consider switching to DirectX 11 in the graphics options for HLA (it will require a restart).

f you overlook the rifle in the early stage, later on you will struggle with the pistol and shotgun, thinking that they are very difficult levels... in the game. You shouldn't proceed further without downloading this weapon. Alternatively, the weapon should also be available later on.

Could you perhaps include a way to skip the intro cutscene when you fix Vulkan? I've already sat through it 3 times, would rather not do a 4th

If I can fix vulkan I will add the option temporarily and see if there’s confusion or issues with other new players.
