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? :)

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

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.

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.
