Someone create a server!

UPDATE: Try joining 24.36.2.222 in a few minutes. Someone's server should be up!

26.5MB & German (I think). Is it worth downloading? (any English versions?)

It is in English when you download it (and also the readme)

I'm not gonna try working with a makeshift multiplayer, I'll just wait till the real mods come out.

I've been playing on a few servers. After you die once, you cant die unless by an explosion. There's quite a bit of lag,and the game will crash if you rocket at someone's feet. Fun though!

screw HLDM, Co-Op mode was foudn in HL2, run a server with that, need to find the forum that had the info about it though, as it wasnt steam or neowin forums.

i think they are crashing not just shutting down. HL2DM (as well as HL2Co-Op) are still unstable

No Servers for HL2-DM

I can't stay on a server long enough to play because they keep shutting down :(

Ok question guys.  My gf came home from work today and said that one of the guys she works with said he got the HL2 CE version but when he went to install it he had to D/L the entire 4+gig of HL2 in order to play.  Is this true?  I was under the impression that the DVD would have the full game and the extra's as well.  wtf?

he bought it off steam if you buy the dvd you get it all off there and you just have to activate it off steam

hmm, it's running late :(

Planet Half-Life has an update from Erik Johnson at Valve stating that the patch may be delayed a day for additional testing:

We're still working through some testing on this release. It might be something we'll want to hold for another day and release tomorrow.

Also, I have received a number of emails asking if the texture management fix will also work for stuttering problems in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. I have emailed Gary McTaggart about this and will post an update as soon as I hear back. I am guessing that Vampire has the same inherent problem based on the reports I'm seeing, but I do not know what kind of arrangement Troika Games has with Valve as far as receiving Source engine updates.

- Screen Shots

Just thought I would post 2 screenshots from my 100+ screenshot folder from HL2 (hey it was a magic moment I had to take screenies :D)

http://img20.exs.cx/img20/4364/d3_breen_010004.jpg <- :laugh: (this ones fine even if you have not played the game it dont give nothing away at all)

http://img95.exs.cx/img95/7505/d3_breen_010008.jpg <- This one is a MAJOR spoiler so DO NOT look at this unless you have BEATEN the game.

Fine, I removed the pictures...as if the heading wasn't big enough! I don't know how to link them because I have no user space - that's why I added them to the message.

Oh well, they've gone - go back to your happy land if you must.

So I bought the game Saturday and completed it today.

although i'm pleased with it, i feel the plot wasn't very good at all. there wasn't very much character development, and the story was too basic. I no longer felt like I was 'on my own'.

The friendly characters where annoying to say the least...i can't even count the number of times they'd just stand in a doorway stopping me getting out.

Graphically amazing, but gameplay-wise, not very taxing at all :(

    • 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
