    Do you have to be connected to steam to play the downloaded version?

    I believe you only need to activate it once.

    "Unable to authenticate original disc within time limit"

    I think it's just steam being slow.

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    I will have to try that when I get home. I am able to quicksave, although I do get major stutters in the sound/video when I do.

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    This could be when it starts to load up some sound functions.. I'm really thinking it's sound related at this point. Everyone is using an old soundcard or onboard audio...

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    The first time this happened to me was during the "Loading" process. I then reboot and it has not happened there since. It happens about 15 minutes into the game in the same place every time... incedently it happens when there is a LOT of sound going on.. Don't want to post more because I dont'...

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    I am pretty sure this is not caused by bad hardware. My entire system is new (besides my soundcard), it runs everything besides HL2 with no problems, including games like Far Cry Doom 3 etc. I don't think it is SP2 that is causing it, unless it is SP2 in conjunction with something else. It may...

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    Heh well the only thing I have in common with you is 1GB of ram. Other than that I'm on an AMD system with an nvidia graphics card, and I don't use built in audio :sleep:

    *CRASH* The memory could not be 'read' error, for HL2 and CS:S

    Mine will sometimes crash before. But right now it is crashing at the initial teleport sequence. First time through it crashed while I was teleporting, the every time after that has been while Alex is transporting.

    How will retailers deal with returns?

    This is not a new concept. This has been the case for a LONG time with games like Everquest.

    Now that it's gold.. Maybe Valve should let us..

    I think Valve should at least consider allowing HL1 Source be playable for us to give us peoplle that have already paid/downloaded the game something to do for the next month. Plus it would give us some incentive to replay that game before the second game is out. No one is going to play it...
