C'mon - got screenies??? I don't finish work for like another 4 hours! How on Earth will I survive? ;P

WTF? Is this a pre-emptive post - or has Valve just, this minute, released it? I'm at work - can't check! :(

Isn't it a K7S5A? Man, those boards were bloody dodgy, we had about 10 of the Rev 3's - they all died after a year or so!

That would do wonders for your FPS - not...

You shouldn't have to limit your AGP speed so leave it at 8x. Make sure fastwrites are off, they do nothing and actually can be a performance hit. Also, set your agp aperture size to twice the size of the memory on your card (256mb limit). Never share a HDD power lead with your video card -...

If you want an elaborate story, go rent a movie! ;p

Are you being serious? Dude, Valve have been selling HL2 for weeks and weeks - I think they already have a head start! I know Valve got my $'s a few weeks ago, and it's not like they don't get anything from sold retail packages! They won't unlock early, stop living in hope!

It's all in this thread - http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33790848 The guy says he has it, can't play it, but can play CS:S. I don't know where all you retail monkeys get the idea that the retail version is anything different from the Steam packages. Steam and retail are both...

I hear ya - I'm a CS n00b as well - I missed the boat on all the previous versions (apart from a few LAN games), have been really enjoying it and even been topping some of the scoreboards, but I'm a bit stuck with buy scripts and general 'best strategies'. I searched the net, but it seems to...

Sweeet! I get home from work at about 6pm (East Australia) so that will work out perfectly - might have to take the next day off though! So, even if retail stores sell boxed copies early, it won't matter 'cos those people will still have to activate through Steam just like those who purchased...

I'm an Aussie as well, but this was never an issue for me - I mean if Doom3 can pass clasification I don't think HL2 passing was ever going to be an issue! There is a movement in the Australian gaming community at the moment to seriously lobby for changes to the OFLC handling of games. We...

Indeed, there are certainly some truly astonishing mods in development! The real beauty of this is that as consumers we get total value for money from HL2! All thanks to the passion of mod developers and also the priviledge from Valve to allow those developers to pursue those passions...

Good work there coZ (and thanks to ksimm), good to see an Aussie version!

I had this problem too, but then I purchased through Steam and all of a sudden off it went again! That was my solution, may not work for anyone else!

Thanks Toy - I was listening! BTW, fellow Aussie here mate!
