I'd say so dude...

Anyway, I'm stuck again. I accidently shot threw a window with a grenade or something (out of the gun...) and as i jumped through the window, the valve seemed to be broken. Now I have idea where to go!

I guessed that one - the answer is right behind you. ;)

I'm stuck having killed the combine helicopter in the airboat section we saw at E3. I can see the controls I need to push to let me make the jump, but dammit I can't see a way up there. Has anyone worked it out yet?

I need a little help guys!

I am on a University network where they block most of the ports. Steam can't connect to its servers, because the port is blocked.

Does this mean if I buy the game today I won't be able to play it?

Your gonna need to talk to your schools net admin and see what can be done. If you cant get it, then bitch to valve or who ever about not being able to validate without the internet.

I basically lets you create a backup on DVD, it comes in the form of an exe file that you run and it will extrace itself back onto your hard drive the same way steam had it installed.

Supposed to be very easy to use.

I think they've done a great job with the physics engine, although glitchy and a bit naff sometimes, the overall feel of it is great.

Anyone hit any bugs?

I've managed to pick up a cement block, and somehow pass it through a wire fence whilst still holding it, and still be able to move it around... now thats MAGIC!!

:angry: So, I installed Steam last night in readyness for my HL2 DVD arriving the morning :)

So... I started the install and the bloody installer will NOT let me install the game to my drive of choice... It seems you MUST install games into your steam folder and nowhere else, which is a bitch as the drive I installed Steam on doesn't have enough space!! I keep all my games on various drives, depending on which one has space at the time....

Had to remove Steam & reinstall it, but this drive only has enough space for HL2... I'm stuffed if I want any other games from Steam...

Those guys at valve need to look in to this... Restricting the install location is bloody STUPID!!! :angry: :angry:

I have the same problem but are using hopster (http-tunnel) and sockscap to get around it.

Sorry mate, right behind me....there's nothing there?

I just need to know, was that valved borked like that...when you first got to it? Because I shot through the window (i think i hit the valve also...) and blew it up. now it doesn't work, and i've got nowhere to go.

EDIT: Nevermind, worked it out...i already blew up the barrels. I just didn't know I had to go back into my little air-boat :p

Hmm, my Steam folder is on my G drive along with HL2. I don't recall having any problems getting it to install to a different drive ... Maybe getting the game via Steam is a better option than retail after all.
