Steam is asking me for a cd key.

Mine is in the DVD case, above where the dvd should go, 5 sets of numbers/letters

You know that the HL2 is just using Havok's physics engine like many other games, right?

So nothing special. In the sence that it wasn't Valve that developed it :rolleyes:

And here's a list of all the games using Havok's engine:

the only way that i know to preload, is to right click on half life 2 in the steam app window and goto pre load.

Ok that has now disappeared. I think there was a command that I can add in the shortcut that starts the preload. Whats Application Number for Half Life 2 that starts steam??

No, thats why i wanna pre-load, so when i get that cd key, it unlocks. I dont wanna sit here for another hour waiting for it to download. And in the options I get Purchase and Update News.

ok so you havent paid for it, thats why you cant preload it, if your gonna end up DLing it, then just go out and buy the hard copy. You wont be able to pre load it now if you havent bought it off steam.

But since you said your mom is already gonna buy your a hard copy, then i would suggest you wai till she gets home.

    • 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,
