Half-Life_2_DVD_Retail-VENGEANCE

V e n g e a n c E P r e s e n t S Half-Life 2 DVD *Retail* (c) Valve/Sierra Release Date : 11-30-2004 Protection : SecuROM/Steam File Count : DVD=54x50mb Game Genre : Shooters *NOTES* Vengeance presents yet another excellent release of the action-packed thriller Half-Life 2. This time around, we have made a fully compatible installer for those who did not wish to have their internet connection active while installing this game, or for those who had firewalled STEAM/VALVE servers. In addition, we have also upgraded the emulator's capabilities and as a result the game runs even FASTER than our previous release. As a result, you can expect even better gameplay, and shorter loading times. The emulator has been carefully profiled against Half-Life 2, and file data throughput has been optimized even further. This brings the emulator to version 1.10. Most of the important emulator settings are configurable for advanced users by using the steamemu.ini configuration file. And in addition to improved game performance, we have enabled our emulator to create cracked servers for Counter-Strike Source. Thus, whoever is running the game using the Vengeance emulator from this release can create their own cracked servers for CS: Source, and also play on other cracked servers. Please note that the previous release DOES work, if you have your internet connection active and your firewalls off. Install Notes (Please follow these instructions IN ORDER) 1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or equivalent 2. Burn with Nero Burning ROM, CDRWin or equivalent. 3. *OPTIONAL STEP* Disconnect your computer from the internet if you do not wish any contact with the VALVE servers during the installation. This WILL NOT alter or disable gameplay or any features, so do not worry if you have chosen to disconnect your internet. 4. Run the autoplay, choose "Install Half-Life 2", then follow the instructions on-screen to install STEAM, and then Half-Life 2. *NOTE* You MUST install Counter-Strike Source as well or you will get an error for the file hl2.ico1 in hl24.cab on CD4. This is by fault of VALVE itself and this error is found on the original retail copies of both the cd version and dvd. 5. After installation, depending on if your internet connection is active, STEAM will ask you to create an account or login as an existing user. Simply close this window once you see it as you DO NOT need a STEAM account to play this release, nor do you need to launch or logon to Steam. It will also attempt to update the STEAM platform client, so just turn on your firewall if you do not want to update the STEAM client. If your internet was inactive during installation, once you reconnect it may pop-up for you as well, so just close the window and turn on your firewall only if you wish to avoid contact with STEAM at this point of the installation. REMEMBER THIS UPDATE IS FOR THE STEAM CLIENT ONLY! IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO UPDATE. YOU DO NOT NEED INTERNET TO PLAY OUR HALF-LIFE 2. CONTINUE READING ENTIRE NFO FOR MORE INFORMATION. 6. From the /VENGEANCE/HL2Installer/ directory on the DVD, double click the file hl2install.exe. This installer will automatically rename needed GCF files in the SteamApps directory on your HDD (which is normally done by STEAM when installing with an active internet connection). The installer has now been modified to work offline, without any interaction with the VALVE servers. So no worries about the installation ever being blocked or calling home. Next, the h2install.exe will automatically extract the necessary files to run Half-Life 2 to "SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2". Finally, the hl2install.exe will render the game into full offline mode, meaning, upon the first launch of the game, there will be no contact with VALVE's master server or friends servers. *** SAVED GAMES TIP ****************************************** You can copy your save games to the following folder to continue playing them: "SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2hl2SAVE" And note that the "User" folder literally means User, it DOES NOT refer to any STEAM account name you previously used. ************************************************************** *** REMINDER ************************************************* Remember, you DO NOT need a STEAM account to play our release, nor do you need to have STEAM running when you do want to play. ************************************************************** 7. *OPTIONAL STEP* This step is only for those who wish to play CS: Source online, to host or play on cracked servers generated by our emulator. *** IMPORTANT STEP ******************************************* From the /VENGEANCE/ directory on the DVD, double click the file "Steam Online.reg" to return the game to online mode. If this step is not done, the game will remain in offline mode and Counter-Strike Source will only work for LAN games. ************************************************************** From the /VENGEANCE/CSSInstaller/ directory on the DVD, double click the file cssinstaller.exe. This installer will similarly to hl2install.exe, rename the needed GCF files and extract necessary files to play Counter-Strike Source. Counter-Strike Source will be installed to "SteamAppsUserCounter-Strike Source". However, cssinstaller.exe will enable the emulator to play Counter-Strike Source! You can create and join cracked servers by choosing the appropriate action while playing the game. 8. --- Half-Life 2 --- To play Half-Life 2 double click the "Half-Life 2" shortcut found on your desktop. (Half-Life 2 will work in either OFFLINE or ONLINE mode - read below) --- Counter-Strike Source --- To play Counter-Strike Source double click the "Counter-Strike Source" shortcut found on your desktop. (CS: Source is ONLY functional if you are in ONLINE mode and have completed step 7 - read above and below) *** SHORTCUT NOTICE ******************************************* Our installers will make shortcuts ONLY to the REAL location where windows believes the desktop is. If you have played around with the desktop using TweakUI or other programs, you may not see the shortcuts on your "desktop" which is NOT where windows thinks the desktop actually is. So, follow these instructions to make your own shortcut: For Half-Life 2: "SteamAppsUserHalf-Life 2hl2.exe" -steamlocal For Counter-Strike Source: "SteamAppsUserCounter-Strike Sourcehl2.exe" -steamlocal -game cstrike being wherever you installed the game obviously. *** OFFLINE / ONLINE MODE ************************************* --- ONLINE --- From the /VENGEANCE/ directory on the DVD, double click the file "Steam Online.reg" to put the game in ONLINE mode. Make sure your internet connection is active and the needed ports to play CS: Source are open (or turn firewalls off). --- OFFLINE --- From the /VENGEANCE/ directory on the DVD, double click the file "Steam Offline.reg" to put the game in OFFLINE mode. --------------------------------------------------------------- The game MUST be in ONLINE mode to play Counter-Strike Source on cracked servers, or to host a cracked server, and you obviously must be connected to the internet. OFFLINE mode is for those who do not have a constant internet connection or for those who do not want any contact with VALVE servers and want to play Half-Life 2. Remember that OFFLINE mode will disable Counter-Strike Source online capabilities. So if you want to play online, follow the instructions above to enable ONLINE mode. Remember, STEAM does NOT need to be running to play either Half-Life 2, or Counter-Strike Source and you DO NOT need a STEAM username/account.

kasperms (2004-12-02)

Could somebody please upload/seed just the hl2installer.exe... I got a copy from a friend and with this little magic program I bet i can get my own copy to work!

phat.mofo (2004-12-02)

Jag får fel vid installationen av Steam, den säger att en .cab-fil är korrupt! Jag har kört CDCheck på den brända dvd-skivan och den säger att allt är ok! Måste vara en .cab-fil inuti en annan .cab-fil som är korrupt men hur avhjälper jag det??? Och WinRAR påstår att arkivet är intakt, är då VENGEANCE .iso buggig? Jag kan inte dra någon annan slutsats....

DegJ (2004-12-02)

din download kanske är kass då? fel nedladdning, eller är det felet med cs:s ? det att man måste välja install cs:s anars går det inte.

m4qs (2004-12-02)

Source går ju som sagt inte att spela på vanlig servrar.. Någon som har nått ip till en crackad server?

Hypicz (2004-12-02)

Hej skulle vilja ha lite hjälp jag har följt infon o gjort allt rätt hoppa jag men när jag startar HL2 så kommer först loggerna sen står det loading och då startas min data om :S Någon som vet vad felet kan va? Tacksam för svar.

berggren (2004-12-03)

som sagt ovan, kan någon va sjysste och bara slänga upp deras installer så jag kan använda den till min retail-skiva?!

Erfa (2004-12-05)

Nja, jag orkar inte ta hem en hel DVD. Tar dessa i stället:
Half-Life.2.PROPER-EMPORiO
Counter-Strike Source.exe EASY INSTALLER-FULL-ONLINE-UPD5
Counter-Strike.Source updates 6-EMPORiO
Fungerar prima!

danny5025 (2004-12-06)

Dennna release funkar felfritt. Tackar så mycket. Har dock ett annat problem. Hur får jag ner konsolen i spelet? Jag har provat att ställa in det under "keyboard" och "advanced" och sen försökt med alla möjliga knappar men skiten kommer inte ner. Det går inte att skapa en genväg iheller där man lägger till -console på slutet för då startar inte spelet alls. Någon som vet????

Jan_e (2004-12-06)

sök på HL2 MODS så får ni dom här
Half-Life 2 Bullet Time Mod v1
Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Create Server Mod
Half-Life 2 Deathmatch Multiplayer v1.1a Mod

reefer45 (2004-12-06)

erfa: mmmm.... för VENGEANCE rellarna knäcker ju inte emporio grejset stenhårt!? du borde prova den

beware (2004-12-07)

En liten fråga när man har tankat hem spelet och kört winrar så alla små filer blivit till en stor, ska man då bara packa upp filen på hårddisken eller ska man installera med daemon eller?
Tacksam för svar.

Gava (2004-12-07)

du extractar (packar upp) winrar-filerna och mountar .img filen (eller vad det nu är) i daemon tools och installerar.

equimanthorn (2004-12-09)

Funkar utmärkt.
Dock har jag ett litet problem, varje gång jag startar datorn så kommer ett STEAM-fönster upp (samma som kommer upp när du installerar, logga in eller skapa nytt konto tror jag det står). Hur löser jag detta?

Larssa (2004-12-10)

När jag ska packa upp vng-hl2 så står det att den antingen är skadad eller av okänt format!?
Vafan ska jag göra eftersom det inte går med winrar

buffel (2004-12-10)

Ahh, detta är den överlägset bästa Half-Life 2 releasen. GJ vengeance! Funkar perfekt...

equimanthorn (2004-12-10)

är det ingen som har samma problem som jag beskrev i tidigare inlägg?

mamed_90 (2004-12-10)

hellgate2000 (2004-12-16)

cs source and hl2 dm dont work prop
ive installed hl2 vengeance and css and hl2 protocol 7 update, and its worked fine untill recent when ive gotten the "css certification error 0/number"
i read on http://www.steampowered.com/?area=news
about a new update in steam, is there an new update from vengeance on the way, or is it a prob with my comp
css also crashes sometimes, again it started doing these recent

the_Masq (2004-12-16)

Hellgate; my guess is that the Steam update is the problem. My crack worked nicely until the update.
Sure hope vengeance makes another patch, which would be great.

filmkillen85 (2004-12-18)

Seeda, den har stannat på 99.7% och lyser röd :(

filmkillen85 (2004-12-18)

Så här står d när HL2 installationen gått ett tag.
"Error 1305 Error rending file from:
F:SpelValveSteamSteamAppsbase source shared models.gcf. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it."
Vad ska jag göra? Nån som haft samma problem?

doctorrandom (2008-11-08)

Haven't gotten around to trying to counter strike: source bit, going to try that in a few minutes, and perhaps add a comment on that, but so far I have tried the Half life 2 portion of it and it works perfectly, being such a cheapskate pirate, I must say thank you for this release, however it was one of the slowest torrents I have ever downloaded.

atariangamer (2009-01-01)

Okay, how the hell do you go from 3 seeders to 1 seeder? Come on, I'm 95% done with the download and I was patient enough to wait the 3 days I've been downloading. Someone please start seeding again! Thank you.
Sincerely, your pirate friend...
