Hi there, I have a sort of complicated problem and I was wondering if SOMEBODY could help me. Okay, I bought a newish radeon card last year with a coupon for a free copy of HL2. So when I was prompted on how I should recieve my copy of HL2 I chose to download the game, as the alternate choice of recieving it by mail would take 8-10 weeks! Anyway, my gaming computer is offline, so I used my mom's computer(the only one in my house with broadband) and I installed steam, downloaded HL2, made sure it worked, then I used WINRAR to compress all of my mom's steam folders and put them all on my offline computer. After I realized that (after the files were on my computer) steam didn't have any log in info on my computer, so I put a dial up modem in my computer, started steam, and In the "play games" thingy hl2 was grayed out! :angry: So I double clicked on the hl2 icon, and it wanted to download the cache files that were already on my computer! I know they are there b/c my steam file is the same as my mom's except for the BLOB file, and hl2 runs on her computer! So (with my hope dwindeling) I let steam download the cache files and "sorry you do not have enough space to run Half-Life 2" (I fall out of chair) But I do have enough space! It said so at the beginning of the download! Then I discovered that my master drive (only 4 gigs, just to contain my OS) wasn't big enough to hold the cache files before the files go to my E drive to my SteamApps folder. So is there ANY way that I can play Hl2 on my offline gaming computer ( I disconnected the modem, it was my dad's) I have been anticipating this game for several years and it would be a HUGE bummer if I can't even play it. ;(
