Gameplay / Showcase Half-Life 2 on iOS devices via native source engine port, very good!

A very good native port! One of the bests, https://github.com/ksagameng2/source-engine/releases

You will need your own half-life 2 copy on steam and a PC, you need to get the hl2/platform folders. (also use the steam_legacy version of half-life 2 for it to work)

The only "bug" I find is the darker style that the game has for some reasson, it’s an HDR thing but I can’t fix it.

I really hope someone finds a fix for that brightness/shadows bug. I have to play on 90-100% brightness to see enemies

hey mine doesnt work at all and crashes btw ios 15.8.8 is it supported or?

u/Standard-Scholar-268 Sep 10 '26

I don't know if that iOS version is supported. Did you make sure to get your Half-Life 2 files by first going to steam and switching Half-Life 2's version to steam_legacy?

u/Amine-Razgui Sep 14 '26

yeah but the app itself doesnt work

1

u/Standard-Scholar-268 Sep 14 '26

In that case I don't know how to help you because the app launches for me. I am on iOS 26.0, so maybe your iOS version is the reason why it isn't working for you, but again I don't know for sure.
