Help! Need save files! *spoilers*

[Palmsy]

Hi, I'm new to this site but after looking through the forums I couldn't see one that would help me with this problem so I came here. Basically started playing HL2 ep 2 yesterday and I think I got pretty far (just stopped the evil combine from entering the base through silo 2) but because I had to completely reinstall windows recently and tinker with my hard drive I accidentally deleted steam and all my save files.

Can anyone direct me or even send me a save file at the spot where Alyx is going out to make tea and you talk with Eli.

(Also could you direct me as to how to use the save file!)

Thanks alot.

You can do it without a save file.

First enable the console. To do this you will first need to go into the in-game options, and under the Keyboard tab, click the Advanced button and tick the 'Enable developer console' option. Now you can open and close the console at any time by pressing the '~' key.

Now in the console type "map ep2_outland_11" (A dropdown menu will help you... anyway its outland 11)

This will take you to the beginning of "Our Mutual fiend"
