it is for me, I have no idea how to do it and Ive already forgotten who said what to do, I'll have to read every thread again, at least it will be interesting.
If you had my condition forgetting things is normal, I understand Piracy and the need to protect games, but I was surprised a genuine game didn't load, Im no expert like some on here..
NP, I dont wan't sympathy, just uderstanding.
basic things are hard now, I don't drive anymore so going to my kids house and setting up the internet for one game, is to much now.
Im trying to play Splintercell DA, but the timer used for hacking doors uses movement keys and the use key, I'm not fast enough because of my disability, so I'm stuck at that point.
it doesn't say this game needs on line to work, most will assume its for other uses.
Ooh hang on its for the bundled Counter Strike, it doesn't say HL2 needs a PERMANENT int connection, it can be set in offline mode but you need a degree in computer Knowledge to do this.
It sais...
Oi Yank you can see gas guzlers from a distance, %99.9 of games play ok without internet, people don't buy HL2 knowing this and the specs for HL2
doesnt say it, Im looking at mine now, in the small spec boxes the last one sais OTHER-internet connection, DVD-Rom drive, it doesn't shout at you...
Shasta said this.
You're just not getting it. Give them your Steam account details, get them to go online and activate the account on the laptop JUST like you had to do for your PC. THAT'S IT. If they have no internet access, too bad, the game CLEARLY states that you need it, and you KNOW it...
No when the kids come here I hardwire the laptop for them, at their house theres no internet, so this game would not work, thats easier.
And yes if you had what I had you'd take it easier as well.
Ps I didn't say I'm disabled because Id be accused of using the sympathy vote.
On my kids laptop they want HL2 on it, hows that a crime, they have a few of the other I bought.
Also it would be easy to give my kids my steam stuff but the user and passwords are personal, do you relate to that.
My kids want HL2 on their PC, I tried installing it and steam caughs up, what a rip off.

Stupidly stuck, I've played it before and did it NP last time NP.
I'm running around with Alyx in the dark, trying to find the lift, I'm lucky to be alive, it seems to be a big problem for others.
another pic, the tunnel I'm in, after the last light I can't go any further, also I move the mouse to create graphics break up ahead.
Ooh !!
now its blue.
Hi all, me again, this time I really am STUCK.
The tunnel I'm in moves and the bit in front is completely weird, its hard to explain whats happening, I try and drive through it, but I hit something solid.
I've rebooted the PC as well.
