Is your Windows Firewall enabled also? If so, turn that off for now. Reference the ports I posted above to get your firewall(s) to play nice with Steam. Good luck! Off to play...

[Possible Spoiler!]

Well i'm stuck already.. on my way through the waterways and I just found a lake of green crap and all I can find to get me across it are 4 barrels... tried throwing em in and hopping across and I am just not getting anywhere. Any suggestions?

I think I know the section, I'm writing it out below in white (so highlight to view):

4 Blue Barrels, and the ramp...place the 4 barrels under the ramp (in that cage), then use the Hovercraft [with a run-up] and fly over :)

man im not familiar with proxys n those ports, wud u be able to help me out

I'm getting the same error. Really friggin ****in me off. No proxy here. I am on a University connection, so it's not like that's the problem either.

I think that Steam is just bogged down. Go to Steam's website. It is barely loading. Stupid Steam. Great idea Valve!

I don't know if you know this or not, but if you look at every other post on here lately, it's from some College kid trying to figure out how he/she is going to authenticate and run HL2 behind a College internet connection. The University connection probably is the problem.

I was looking for this aswell - thanks, I'm also downloading it now :)

To be honest, at first I didn't like this idea of STEAM, but I'm seeing the advantages of it now.

However, after installing it (like 5 seconds), it says it will take 26 minutes to prepare to play it..???

Nope. It's because I didn't think about the fact that I needed to open some ports for Steam. :)

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
