is there any settings i should take down to change to make it run on my fx5200? like isnt there a command to make it work on dx8.1 ?

BTW, in CS:S I am getting an error saying "Map version is 0, expecting 19 !" every time I try to play. I am worried that this will affect HL2 as well. On the steampowered forumns another person posted the same thing and they told him to delete the local files for CS:S but I can't because it says that are needed for HL2 (which is already 100% preloadded). :no: Any suggestions?

you suck, go buy a copy of Hl2. Besides i wish they can't come up with a crack. RELOADED never did with Counter-strike Source :p. Yay for that!!

I know that, I just wanted to get a little program that would allow me to play early.

And to let you know, I already got my copy from the Best Buy in the next town. :)

I would post pics but they are like all the others :)

Go to CSS' properties and tell it not to stay up to date. Close the dialouge and wait a few seconds for any network activity to die down. Then go back to the Properties and tell it to stay up to date. Steam ahould then sort itself out.

If that doesn't work you've got to go to your SteamApps folder and delete the larger of the CSS cache files.

Lol dumb arses with the fake Steam pics can't even do them properly :p It would be in "Just released" ;)

Er yeah.. chill out mate.. was just a bit of fun. Sorry if my hastily assembled gag wasn't quite 100% on the AnalRetention-o-meter!

I'd bet on it. You might need to make sure your drivers are up to date, but I think it shouldn't have any problems.

just got the Silver package over steam last night, played soem CS earlier, last tiem i played CS was back in the early builds HL1 days.

so far id have to say psudo impressed witht he engine, but CS was imported into Source.

and went to adjust the settings, and everythgin is on high, with exception of Anso/FSAA off. might turn them on later so see how it runs

dont know where to post this question as my steam forums account isnt active yet, but i already have HL-1/OpForce how can i unregester those keys and donate them to a friend that doesnt own them. since i got an extra copy of them with the silver package?

IF you look into they will unlock a key and you can apply to anothe account for ONLY 10.00! Look throught the FAQs on the steam site and you should find your answer

so in other words, i have a copy of HL, Op Force that are useless?

---- Post Above, i thought the FAQ's at teh steam site were for steam only and unrelated to HL keys, guess iw as wrong

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
