Since when did this Gabe bloke write the whole game himself :crazy: :angry:

ok guys, a couple of questions.

i've bought the retail dvd and its installed and its all working great.

but

1) can i install it on my brothers computer if i give him my steam login details so he can play it?

2) why does it still ask for the dvd to be in the drive to play it if i've installed and unlocked it?

3) how do i put steam into offline mode so i dont have to load it up through steam - instead i can just double click on the shortcut on my desktop.

OMGOMG, stop being stupid and play the ****ing game not check the thread every 5 minutes. You're going to end up reading something that'll ruin the game and it'll be all because you came to this thread instead of playing the game.

Is there a way to back up the game ( I bought it via Steam) onto a DVD? I?ve heard there is a special command for that...

Right click on the Half Life 2 in the games box in steam and select backup game. You can also copy over all your cfg files from your steam directory to a dvd. Search the forums here there a nice little program that helps you reinstall it all!

1. yes you can ! he just need to connect on your account ...

2. i dunno, i bought it on steam ..

3. when steam don't detect any connection to internet it log offline ... but after activating of course. You already did it.

What the hell are you blabbing about? If checking the thread every 5 minutes equals checking it every hour or so, then yes, I check it every five minutes. Second of all, Im not even home so I cant play the damn game, and thirdly why the hell do you care? Mind your own business. You make yourself look like a jackass. The only thing that has quote "ruined" the game for me was when some idiot posted a screen of the last part. The mods already said to limit the amount of postings with spoilers in it. Get a life.

i am getting repeated sounds, problem is IT COMPLETELY LOCKS THE PC!

its as if the game reads the sounds directly from the hd and does not precache them....

can't even pass the first game, it locks up when the train horns or something

it even locks up at the title sometimes....

heeelp

using nforce 2 soudnstorm with 9600xt (4.12beta)

Well i've played it for about 2 maybe 3 hours, and it is one exceptional game.

The beginning running round the city with no weapons being chased was excellent. It was matrix-esque running through the apartments and up stairs.

Great, great game so far. Loving that they give you an air boat so soon aswell! :p

Over and out for now.

I've searched but found no such problem addressed yet. At a set amount of time after I have started playing (say about twenty minutes) the game slows to half a frame a second then the system becomes unresponsive and I need to physically turn it on/off. Right before I think I can also hear the sound of the system connecting/disconnecting hardware.

My specs are below

Dell D600

1.8ghz P-M

1024 MB Ram

80 GB HD @ 4200 RPM

ATI Mobility 9000 w/ 32 MB VRAM

The system is docked to some external components such as a mouse, keyboard and an LCD screen.

HL2 and CS:S run fine outside of this, thanks!

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
