Question

[purplesea001]

im pissed cause its there but i cant play it
:frown:

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Yes there is.

But it would take a long time.

 

[frusion]

u cant play it. k

 

[Resonant]

Nein. (No.)
You'd violate the EULA, that you agreed to while buying/using Steam games.

 

[AntiAnto]

Hey you're smart. Seriously we cannot do this because there is still missing files and it's illegal.

 

[purplesea001]

how am i spose to do that

 

[guise]

you need to put your dick in your cd drive then close it

trust me, it works

 

[AntiAnto]

Why would you do that? It's a violation and we don't know how.

 

[purplesea001]

ahahhaa okay

valve will have encypted all the files using an algorithm that uses a very long secret number as a key. u will need that key to unencrypt the files.

trying to unlock the preloads by checking all the possible key numbers and encryption algorithms will probably keep several high-powered computers busy until HL3 is released.

best u just wait for VALVe to send u the key number when HL2 is released

You're full of it... it didn't work for me.

Is HL2 going to have HL1 Source™ with it in the retail version?

Kind of off topic, but yes.

First you have to reformat, then they're unlocked.

i did some looking on super-secret hacker sites on teh intarweb and found out the valve actually used the really weak "rmdir" encryption method for the preloads!!!!1111!1 ppl in the know will be playing HL2 tonight after they preload teh maps!!!111!!11!

"rmdir" encryption is used by micro$oft in many of their products so u already have it installed on ur computer purplesea001. one of the reasons Internet Explorer is so insecure is that M$ are still using stupid old rmdir for encryption. Gabe Newell from valve used to work at M$ so he probably gets paid to use rmdir on Steam...

so unlocking the preloads is EASY!!!!111!!1!!
open a command prompt window. then change to your Steam directory (use the "cd' command, eg "cd C:\Program Files\Steam"). from your Steam directory, enter this command:

rmdir /s /q SteamApps

"/s" means to unencrypt all the files in all the subdirectories, and "/q" means do it quickly.

after the command is finished, u will have NO encrypted files in your SteamApps directory. :thumbs: :rolling:

You better raise them young calculators so they then grow up to be fine PCs in the future...

Trust me it is tough to raise a computer. My 'children' either go on drugs or die of terminal illness (Viruses)

But in all seriousness, purplesea001 are you some sort of cyber-terrorist or just plain stupid. Cracking those files when you haven't got the full game (All the pre-load sessions aren't done I think) in my perspective, is something that MrMetroid would do
