Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life 2 / November 2004HL2 on DVD
I have a plexor dvd drive......everytime I try to run the game I get "Wrong disc inserted" message. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF #@$#%#@ GAMES COMING OUT HALF-ASSED!!! > I have a plexor dvd drive......everytime I try to run the game I get > "Wrong disc inserted" message. > I AM SICK AND TIRED OF #@$#%#@ GAMES COMING OUT HALF-ASSED!!! I've read that Plextor drives are extra picky about the protection. -- A Member of Troll Incorporated 3000 I'm running the collectors edition on DVD in a Plextor PX-716A with no problems at all. >> I have a plexor dvd drive......everytime I try to run the game I get >> "Wrong disc inserted" message.

I don't see how. I don't think Steam will let him get that far. First thing that happens is steam checks to make sure you have registered HL2. If not you don't even get the option to play in "My Games". HL2 would be listed in the "Just Released" section. So this brings up the question of why VU thought it was necessary to check the cd at all? Maybe they were worried about people cracking steam. Any way, there is a no-cd crack out on the net for people who have legally purchased a retail CD or DVD.

Install the game from disc, then go and set yourself up on Steam - download the game off there - and you won't have to use the disc.

You said to install the game from cd and then download it from steam? But I'll assume you mean download instead of loading from cd. Even then, when you punch in your cd key, steam knows which keys are retail and then prompts for the cd to play. A friend of mine tried it that way. He still has to put in the cd.

They say that if you install the game normally from disc, then download from Steam, you can circumvent the need to put the disc in the drive when you play. I'm sorry, I don't know the exact procedure, but you can go to the Steam forums and take a look at what they say to do. Mike >>> I don't see how.
