Are you talking about Hl1 or 2? It sounds like 1. Either way, try loading from an earlier save and get to that point with more health. Alternativly you may be experiencing the infamous elevator glitch, when using elevators try to stay in the centre and constantly jump.

Jumping worked. thanks, cannot log into ftp for patch

 

[giant384]

better yet......assign your cd key to steam.

 

[MorganFreeman911]

Good idea, Giant.

 

[jim2007]

I give up, what's steam?

Lol @ you playing the old version of HL

Download Steam at www.steampowered.com. When you're done installing it, report back.

 

[jim2007]

Got Steam, ok on the keycodes, still cannot log into ftp server for patch, (IE).


Any thoughts?

Don't you patch it through Steam?

Don't you patch it through Steam?

If he installed from a cd, I don't know if that will work. I have the Platinum Edition of HL1. While I can enter and it'll accept my CD key and list all of the Platinum games I have installed, it won't update them. It'll let me download any game included with my CD key but no updates.

 

[Jintor]

But... aren't the games on Steam the most recent version?

If they aren't, COMPLLAAAAIIIN!!!!

 

[giant384]

yes it will download the most current version of hl on to your system.

Um, you see that title at the top of your web browser? What does it say? That's right, Halflife2. So, go here: planethalflife and come back when you've finished playing Half-Life.

dont be so mean man. also i believe you have to go into a room with a very large fan below you and it will push you up where you will break through some boards. i haven't played hl1 in alot.

 

[jim2007]

lighten up

Man was right, Half Life 1 is where i'm supposed to be, thanks again for everyone's help!

Like giant said, they are, but if it's already installed from the cd. What's the point of downloading the entire thing? I wonder why they can't update Steam to recognize earlier installs of HL1+packs.

But I don't play CS or anything and haven't had a problem with HL1, so I'm not bothered too much.
