excellent advice, it won't work without the updates from steam. Took me ages to work this out for my illegal copy, mine was German if that helps?

i cant becos steam asks u to enter product code to do anything with one of there products i dont have a code...........game still plays

Post by **phantasmagoria** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:18 am

enter the code you got with the copy, it'll work

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:19 am

yea, it ask's for the product code for half-life 2... so enter the one that came with the game if its legit..

if not, i wouldent continue posting here.

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:20 am

Post by **phantasmagoria** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:25 am

they won't care, it'll help them iron out all the bugs with the game - you'll be doing them a favour.

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:27 am

they might pay you for finding this one too! so if they ask for your addy and etc, go a head and give it to them.

Post by **baaldude** » Sun Apr 03, 2005 12:27 am

They ought to be able to help at the Steam forums:

the official forum fanboys might be annoyed you've got an illegal copy, i'd go ahead and ring valve directly using that phone number and tell them your problem

You need the unlocked files; find a friend who has the game.

edit: doomer you managed to un-do my lock on this

Q3W will not help you with warez.
