📋 About This Mod
A fix for the game-breaking Bird In Hand Bug (HL-19013) where the game doesn't progress after you defeat the poachers.
Versions
See the "Changelogs" dropdown just above.
Introduction
This is a fix for official bug number HL-19013 also known as the game-breaking "Bird In Hand Bug".

Use my PakChunk Checker to check that. If you have a pakchunk conflict see the Conflicts section below.
[]Press F8 again to close the modloader window.
Usage
[]Hit ALT-e if the fight with the poachers has ended but the game does not progress.
