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.

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!

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

      I really hope the author's health is ok. Squirreling away a official backup of this software. Looks like the internet archive already cached a copy as well - https://web.archive.org/web/20...ldbit-soft.fi/software.html

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.

      Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
