[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

Steam is asking me for a cd key.

Where is it located ?

All I have is the Quick Reference card, DVD, and the case. And i cant find it  :pinch:

Mine is in the DVD case, above where the dvd should go, 5 sets of numbers/letters

You know that the HL2 is just using Havok's physics engine like many other games, right?

So nothing special. In the sence that it wasn't Valve that developed it :rolleyes:

And here's a list of all the games using Havok's engine:

the only way that i know to preload, is to right click on half life 2 in the steam app window and goto pre load.

Ok that has now disappeared. I think there was a command that I can add in the shortcut that starts the preload. Whats Application Number for Half Life 2 that starts steam??

Have you paid for the game? If not just go and by a copy. And what options do you get when you right click the game in "Play Games"?

No, thats why i wanna pre-load, so when i get that cd key, it unlocks. I dont wanna sit here for another hour waiting for it to download. And in the options I get Purchase and Update News.

ok so you havent paid for it, thats why you cant preload it, if your gonna end up DLing it, then just go out and buy the hard copy. You wont be able to pre load it now if you havent bought it off steam.

But since you said your mom is already gonna buy your a hard copy, then i would suggest you wai till she gets home.

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
