Easy fix, you just unpack them with GCFscape, but the Steam problem persisted though, so I tried to get it working using the GCF loader option on Rev Steam Emulator enabled in the. ![]() ![]() This of course means that you have to be online to log into Steam, which will then update it automatically, It still doesn’t work. Problem is, HL2 wouldn’t detect the latest steam version and would produce an error upon opening HL2 with the latest Steam, so the solution to that not to update steam on an offline VM, however you have to log into Steam so HL2 can verify that you own the game because upon opening Steam after installation HL2 will be bound to your account, without being logged into Steam at least once the game game won’t launch. Steam was REQUIRED for it to run, so when you installed Steam along side HL2 on the installer Steam would open and automatically update to the latest.The installer required you had the game on a DVD to install it, just having it run from loose files in a folder would show a SecuROM error, the fix for this was easy because you can just mount the files as an ISO which mimics a DVD in some ways (Later versions of SecuROM prevent you from using ISOs, this one is pretty old so it doesn’t recognize the difference).Unsurprisingly, it didn’t work AT ALL at first, here are the main reasons why it didn’t run: So μ ( u=3229) bought an original retail DVD of Half Life 2 from Ebay a few months ago and uploaded it to see if anyone could get the game to run on modern OSes.Įventually I did get it to run but I’d like to document the process of how I got it to work and some info on why it doesn’t work in the form of a forum post because some may find it interesting and may be useful in the future for game collectors. ![]()
