    Well, semi-new. They're the XBOX achievements, it looks like. Still, this is awesome and I'm planning to start a runthrough right now.

    I'm really happy that they finally added achievements to HL2 and Episode One. It was ridiculous that they didn't have them especially since they had achievements in the 360 version of the Orange Box. It's even a bit infuriating that it took them this long just to add those same achievements to the easily updated PC versions.

    I always thought the macs could play this since the announcement of how steam is on mac. I guess not and these games are quite old, congrats on finally getting more compatibility.

    @RE_Player92: That's a current issue with the latest patch for the engine. There is however a fix you can do yourself.
     
    I far too sleepy to go find the link to the thread bu... fine I'll do it

    There are steps to fix this in that thread.
    Basically the patch doesn't let people running on 10.5.8 to us any AA filtering. The GUI and HUD wont render properly if the AA is on at any level so you simply have to disable it by either putting a line of code in a .cfg file or in the games properties window.
     
    Yeah just read that, I'm too sleepy for this.
