Hi,
Ok so I need to set up a new account for a relative, however steam has changed things somewhat since I bought my version. All I can find is the annoying Anthology versions which valve seems to think I will pay for free mods.
Anyway, I want purchase a single half-life box and have access...
I see it like this: the current violence and terrorism is both sides fault, and as said earlier both sides keep sparking it off again. IMHO, they don't praise terrorists’ acts that happen somewhere totally unconnected to them. Israel's tanks come rolling in to a supposed terrorist's...
I bought bronze thinking I could upgrade to silver later. However it says it's not available right now, any idea when it will be? I didn't think HL:S was worth paying for but if dod is good(new gameplay new models fully remade maps etc, not a simple port) I'd like to upgrade :)
If this doesn't solve it, try going to C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\-usernamehere-\sourcesdk\bin and running vconfig.exe It should make the error go away :)
I think that is a generic error message and what it's saying is not actually true. I'd guess that for some reason it can't connect to to the decrypt servers. Try disabling firewall and programs like netlimiter, although they might have fixed that.
That level is VERY cpu limited, AI and lots of physics. HL2 eats cpu for breakfast, lunch and tea. Even with an overclock fx55 you are cpu bound. There's nothing you can do other than overlocking or getting a better cpu. It's why some people can have 4xAA on their 9600, while others barely get...
They've said that if they did make it, it would probably not be a direct port, but would make full use of the engines features. This, while it would be awesome, probably means it'll be a long while before we're playing ns source :)
Just type "mat_forcemanagedtextureintohardware 0" Not sure what the command is exactly but it's something like that. It disables the "stutter" patch they released like a week after release.
Problem is no doubt the gfx card.. I didn't even think integrated graphics would run. Once you get a decent card, you should be able to play on high or atleast medium with no slowdown.
Steam is nice, and finally stable. Friends is my favourite part about it I think, I have nearly 100 people on my friends list, being able to talk and find out where they are playing is awesome. My only real problem is how full of security holes it is, but then again it's a lot better than it was.
