Native. Download Blueshift and half life from Xash3D site. make the folder-transfer folders from steam.
Change the config file inside Xash3D(for blue shift) Smooth as butter with the changes. Default settings had bad frame dips.

Best way by far to play Blue Shift. Runs much better at times than Xash 3D, better mod support, better textures (Not even the HD pack!)

Review Note:
I just made everything max. This game is from 1998 and the source version works entirely when using the Xash3D FWGS from macsourceports. Runs via the same method as Half-Life (base)
