Screenshots

You can download the latest version of GSX by using updater on Windows.

Download updater

You need to extract updater contents to your Half-Life directory. Then you need to downgrade your HL to steam_legacy.

After that you can run updater and it will download latest GSX version. You can also use it to download new versions in the future.

For Linux, you have to download and install manually. See GitHub releases.

Also don't forget about Discord server! It's the best way to get notified about new updates, report issues and so on!

WARNING: GSX is not binary compatible with original engine. This means that plugins/mods that do binary code analysis probably won't work here.
