Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / June 2008Best OS to run Half Life
Hi, Its years since I played Half Life and have ditched the disk i have. I wanna buy a new one and play again, however I now have Windows Vista Home Premium. Will HL play on this OS without having to use program compatibility? > Hi, > Its years since I played Half Life and have ditched the disk i have.

HL2 has a 64-bit mode. Note that 32-bit HL2 savegames could not be used in 64-bit HL2.  Signature@~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

He also didn't specify whether his Vista is 64-bit or 32-bit version. My guess is that it will not play on either. Signature"Bother!" said Pooh, as he wondered why he bothered to answer. I have Vista 64 bit Home Premium, and Half Life runs fine. So does HL2. Both of them ran fine on my Windows XP, and XP64 machines as well. Happy gaming. By the way, don't create a filthy beast on Spore! > I have Vista 64 bit Home Premium, and Half Life runs fine. So does HL2. Both > of them ran fine on my Windows XP, and XP64 machines as well.

Did you keep the CD Key and/or register a Steam account while the game was installed? If so, you can download the game through Steam without buying the game again.
