I've located the exact spot where the bug is triggered: it's a munitions closet in the lab where you get the longjump module (chapter lambda core). All other satchels picked up earlier were fine.
I've made a new savegame for testing: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0my8s6
I have this exact same problem running on Mac.
Did the bug manifest itself in the same place (lambda core hideout/lab)? Are you playing hard mode? Does the Linux savegame work on a Mac? Can you share yours (to compare against mine)?
I was playing hard mode.
I noticed the problem at the same place as your original description (in "interloper"). I didn't go back and look at the munitions closet by the longjmp module.
I did not try your savegame. I don't know if I have my own savegame anymore, I usually used quicksaves.
When I get home tonight I can see if I have my savegame, and if your savegame works for me.
Gee, thanks. Just to clarify though, it's impossible to go back to xen and lambda core from interloper because of the one-way portals. I saved at lots of location and did a binaryish search for the last good savegame. From there I resumed playing until I found the bugged set of satchels. If you didn't pick those up, then at least we know it's not triggered in the ammo lab. I suppose your savegames from before lamda core (if you have them) are fine too, since you first noticed the bug during interloper as well.
Now here's to hoping Valve manages to crowbar this bug so we can complete the last part of the game. It's been a great game thus far!
Valve's probably never going to fix their old games. Guess I'll just take my money elsewhere and they'll be happy for it. They could've released the engine under the terms of the GNU GPL so I could at least attempt to fix it myself (and package it into a .deb), but they aren't doing that either.
Yeah, cause we would never port our games to new platforms years after the original release and add new features and fixes. Oh wait...
So you do exist, wonderful. Please don't be mad at me for being cynical, I had lost all hopes of ever finishing the final chapter. I want to move on to HL2 and its episodes, but can't. Is there anything I can do to make the debugging process easier?
This happens in a bunch of places, but right now I'm in the factory of the chapter "interloper". When you reach the upper level and get through a corridor with controllers, grunts and vortigaunts, there's a bunch of satchels on the floor which are presumably meant for taking out grunts eggs in the next area.
Here's what:
Here's my savegame: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5of9p8
There are other weapon issues as well, like not being able to fire after loading a saved game. This can be worked around by selecting another weapon, unless that also doesn't work (had that a bunch of times but all I did was wait for a bit).
Assuming hard mode isn't hard mode because it enables bugs ;)
