Menge Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 yeh. my cd3 came damaged. i took it back to the store and they replaced it. alternatively, i called vivendi universal and they said that i could mail it to them and they'd replace them if the store didn't.

Chsoriano Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I puchased the 5 cd set also, but so far I haven't noticed any damage, although I've only installed it once. I hate having to use the CD to play the game though, there's no image file for Daemon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 All the cd's are technically damaged. If you don't install Counter Strike Source, it will have an error. GG Valve/Vivendi (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mx Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Chode, it's Vivendi, not Valve's problem / mess up :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwa83 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 YES! TWICE!!! It was downright rediculous. Between the Cheap cd sleeves, the faulty cd's, and NO manual... I have little respect for the company. Game is great, but they really screwed us over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larney Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Chode, it's Vivendi, not Valve's problem / mess up:yes:: 585182638[/snapback] Yeah, Vivendi need to die(Y)):)) I can't understand why more people didn't buy from Steam to support Valve? Maybe because of payment methods, I think Valve should of integrated PayPal personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine doesn't check anymore so you may want to log on to steam and let it update HL2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quanta Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yes, I mentioned it here: http://www.silentblue.net/mtarchives/000943.html Fortunately the nice guys at my Future Shop were opening every HL2 box and inspecting each disc by hand. Quite a few had CD rot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hills420 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I had some install problems. I had to restart the install 4 times before it would succesfully complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SST]SLAYER Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 5 cd's no problem during the install but I agree for $50.00 US they should have come with a Jewel case and a Maneul I hate when companies do that no case I felt ripped off after paying so much for it the last game that came that way was MAFIA now you can buy it for $10.00 US on the discount game rack and it comes in a nifty case :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
