[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread

Card numbers are not magically marked as fraudluent. Another fact is that the people who post with swear words littered throughout their messages tend to be those that 'well lol might have tried to use the free cz exploit BUT ITS NOT FRAUD'.

[mootymoots]

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.

Gotta agree with the pre-loading thing, although my friend pre-ordered the DVD version, and has installed it, but cannt connect to steam to authorize... very bad show.

[shark1]

Well he is not the only one....Steam was working for months, somehow it is not connecting today...i wonder why ???? so strange who could have predicted that! Cannot finish the preload since this morning, left it all day came back from work and was still at 99%....tried to connect again and not working, the fuking day where is supposed to work and it's not...

Yes my internet is working, every other application is working..no it's not my firewall, no i don't have a router etc..

Um.. wtf? I was trying to legally purchase a game. I never used this credit card for anything related to Steam before. About the idiots who tried the CZ CC exploit, they are jackasses and I hope they get in trouble.

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

bogged down and not function all together are two different things

[psybapunk]

wonder if any of you can answer my question, I work/play on two different computers. I've got steam installed on both, now, I've purchased hl2 and all that, but would I be able to play it on both computers? not at the same time mind you.

It will say that if another person used that card number, or if you mistyped a date and it says declined, then go back and retry that same card again.

Also if someone used that card number, and their account information was marked as being fraudulent, that card will have been banned. Is it a visa/amex/mastercard/discover...call them?

VALVE HAS CRAPPY SERVERS!!!

:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

[bithub]

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

Thanks a lot! :)

THREADS MERGED

Okay okay, this is too much reading for me. 9-10 hours ago I made a post on the latest page (page 26) I think and I've been scanning through the various pages after that. I just read a whole page 65, pressed next and now 101 is the latest page. Is this really necessary to merge all these threads together, I have no idea where I was originally - and come on guys, stop posting the exact same replies:

- Servers are down

- Servers are busy

- No manual

- Authentication is a bad idea

- Downloading this, downloading that

- etc. etc.

(admittedly [ignore spelling] I've made replied, but now I'm totally lost from where I was and where I am)

I honestly think we've all got the point now. Stop complaining and come up with something new (seperate threads for problems, server stuff, download stuff, etc. etc. would be far more managable). Now, I bet that when I post this a few more pages would of been created ;)

Just my opinion guys - please feel free to tell me where to go,

[jimboh1]

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).

You have to increase the water height from the other side by dropping down on some pipes and turn the red valve.

Good Luck!

Hopefully the update is to counter the crack which has been made already. That'll teach the ******s, probably been up all night making a crack, finally gets it to work, then valve just change something. That'd be great

[Waltz]

The Steam Forums are temporarily offline. See www.steampowered.com for news and support. Thanks!

I think they close it to give more bandwitch to the update
