VGUI has plenty of documented memory leaks which especially affect Team Fortress Classic as well. [The issue tracker on ValveSoftware/halflife has plenty of examples.](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+leak)
## Bug: Player firing animation for shotgun is missing
It exists in the player animations, but is never used.
## Linux: Underscores look like white space
In the console, all underscores look like whitespace. This makes choosing maps or using the auto-completion system in console rather annoying. The font needs to be closer to MS Sans Serif anyway.

Will have to be fixed outside the engine obviously.
## Fluff: Gluon: There's supposed to be a sprite that hits the wall.
It never shows up - except when you're watching another player use it on a func_wall type surface - it's that broken.
FreeHL has it. Go copy that.
## Fluff: Gauss: Doesn't use the dedicated decals.
They're in the decals.wad.
## Accessibility: Better Controller support
The menu is hard to use with a controller. It should really be a lot better for playing on Steam Deck.

Make it hold down crouch + tap space. Makes it easier for controller users to use and less of a worry for carpal tunnel syndrome.
## Accessibility cl_autojump 0/1
Accessibility feature, a way to jump repeatedly automatically. Supported by various third-party Quake engines as well.
## SDK: Outdated code
The code at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/halflife seems to be outdated.

The whole model based approach isn't very good. Nobody enjoys this. At the very least employ a VGUI interface to let users choose the teams before spawning.

## Quality of Life: Mods Win32 DLL loading
Valve ships Proton. Make it so the native Linux version can load Win32 dlls. It's something we've talked about before and some people have successfully tested - it'd be interesting to pursue but kind of a pipe dream.
## Improvement: Support old backgrounds
Old mods ship with backgrounds for the original MFC version of the Half-Life menu. Check if a splash.bmp is in the current game dir depth and not one of the VGUI menu based .tga files. The video card requirements on Steam + Half-Life was raised high enough that no GPU that can only load 256px textures into video memory can run the engine anyway. Might as well store a non-power-of-two image like that in as a fallback if no VGUI menu files exist.
## Quality of Life: add `find` console command from Source
Or maybe just make the console nicer to use in general.

## Fluff: Visual artifacts
One example: Go into a multiplayer match, pick up the .357 Revolver. Then use the Quick-Switch key to switch between the 9mm Handgun and back to the Revolver. You'll be able to see the cut Silenced Glock for a split second. Tthe animation gets swapped before the model gets exchanged and the bodygroup swapped.
