ive been working at it along with other for a few hours, so how about you take your pithy comments and shove them up your arse

Considering the Steam forums are screwed up (yeah, what else is new?) I figured I'd ask this here. Has anyone tried to order HL2 via steam and get some bull**** like "Declined due to Credit Card fraud blah blah blah" ?!

I get crap like that, and I know the card is valid (I had it verified by the bank) but Valve is run by idiots, so I am not suprised by this problem.

I know I am not the only one having this problem becuase I saw it on the Steam forums before they totally bit the dust.

[akaladis Veteran]

so frustrating it's hilarious...

[Xylene]

I wouldn't blame your box. This game has a cluster **** worth of bugs reported already. Valve obviously can't only run/get decent servers, they also can't code and debug worth of ****.

I know it's early, but I'm already stuck in half life 2. I'm in the Route Kanal, in the place where it looks like you need to go through a tunnel with red lights. The problem is I cant figure out how to reach the tunnel (it is too high).

I've attached a screenshot as well.

I thought Steam had an offline mode?

[Weasel]

Steam wont even log in for me anymore :(

[Xylene]

I've already given up and decided not to get the game at all. This is ****ing rediculous. I've been waiting two years for the damn game, it finally comes out and like usual, Valve doesn't get it right. I went to Wal-Mart to get it after school, but they didn't have it. I am so ****ing glad they didn't, becuase I didn't know about all these problems (becuase I was at school) so I would have had a royal fit if I came home and couldn't play it after I paid for it.

[Varsity]

Yeah, if you've played once, ever you can just unplug your modem and go into offline mode.

[MICROSOFT IS BAD]

EMAIL VALVE AND COMPLAIN TO THEM.

[+chorpeac MVC]

wonder if it is still having issues...I hope it works tonight when I get out of class.

[ootput]

Perhaps you could lead a prayer in school during class hoping that god improves steam?

I am on a University connection, so it's not like that's the problem either.

[Veritas 1]

what you need to do is go in the other room and climb on the pipes and there is a valve to turn it will flood the room. I was stuck there for a while 2

yup you can do that but being as it was 4am when i went to bed i just restarted not thinking that the system would take a total crap by afternoon.

[Xylene]

It's quite funny what Valve has done. They did this activation bull**** with Steam so the game wouldn't be pirated as easily, but what do you know, it's been cracked and released already(along with CS:S, but that's been out for a while now). This kind of bull**** does nothing but ruin the game for the paying costumers.

[Pheee]

It does have offline mode, make sure your password is stored, and to use for best effect, disconnect internet completly. Then its loads pretty damn fast.

if you have broadband, i found it tries to connect, even if there is no internet, cause im on a network.

I can hardly see why you should blame Steam for that. Of COURSE the system will be bogged down!

EMAIL VALVE AND COMPLAIN TO THEM.

584933534[/snapback]

Yeah, so I get an automated reply, right. I am not trying to complain here if that's what you're implying, I simply asked if anyone else has the same problem.

[gshapiro]

wtf you bitching about? You only had like 500 years to pre-order (and pre-load) it. Now that HL2 is getting rave reviews everyone wants it NOW. No wonder there are problems.

All I know is that I am playing it and LOVING it. hehehehe.
