[HL2] Health bar missing in HUD in Steam Deck version and PC version with -gamepadui launch parameter in Episode Two

[Evisneffo]

In the Steam Workshop for Half-Life 2, I noticed an item that fixes this issue. I have not tested the Steam Deck version, but I launched the game on PC (Windows) with the -gamepadui launch parameter, and the issue is indeed present there. The author of the fix in the Workshop claims that the issue is caused by a typo in ep2/ep2_pak_dir_vpk/scripts/hudlayout.res.

This issue is present exclusively in Episode Two. It does not occur in Half-Life 2 or Episode One.

When I launched the game on steam deck now it's fixed after the 18/11 update, did that update fix it for you too?

Re-verified game data. Still not fixed

@Zeekoff, I just tested this on PC (Windows) with the launch parameter -gamepadui, and the bug is still present.

I cannot test it on a Steam Deck because I do not own one.

The bug is still present on steamdeck. It corrupts files of the game in all saves somehow and even verifying doesn't help. The workshop item fixed the issue

What workshop item fixed it? I downloaded some workshop campaign maps maybe one of them also fixed it?

I just got to Episode 2 and am experiencing this same bug on Steam Deck as well

The workshop item says "The error is caused by typo in ep2/ep2_pak_dir_vpk/scripts/hudlayout.res"

Will anyone at valve finally fix this bug? It's kind of ridiculous it's still going on and you need a workshop item to fix it.
