Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life 2 / November 2004steam version of hl2
nice to see another smooth game release by Vivendi/valve this time ;-) My steam purchased version works great so far abeit that i have to download content as i get to it as HL2 only takes up 800 odd MB on my HD. Had an ATI voucher for it. Is there a timedemo for HL2 or what`s the command for showing FPS? I know CS:S has a stress test but does HL2? As for your reg probs, the steam version seems to require you to be online all the time too. Never had a slow connection tho. Must just be me :-) You don't have to be online with the steam version of HL2, just disconnect and start Steam in offline mode..

Must just be me :-) I've been trying to find out how to set it to offline mode. Could someone give the string of buttons used to set it? Thanks! > Thanks.

Never had a slow connection tho. Must just be me :-) Here's how I did it. Make sure Steam is set to save your name and password. Exit Steam while connected to the internet. Do not log out of Steam. Disconnect from the internet. Start HL2. A message will pop up saying Steam can't access and gives you the choice to go into offline mode. Select it and then the game loads.

Must just be me :-) An easier way : Don't start Steam with windows. Disconnect or don't connect to internet. Start Steam, choose offline mode when Steam complaing not finding internet.
