[DEFINITIVE] Half-Life 2 Thread


Recommended Posts

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'.

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.

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.

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?

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,

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!

Jim

Update - where..? (with all the merged threads I can't keep up).

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

    • 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
