To get it working again why dont you put your original files back where they were and delete Hijacks files for now (just until you get it back to working order) Get it back to all original first, then go back to hijacks files!
Not that I am going to tell you how to do it, just yet anyway, but dont go formatting your drive just because your files have changed to Read Only!! They can be fixed! ;)

You was asking if the Crack and the Steam Emulator is working.
So i was telling you to read the first post in this thread where you can find this: Steam Discussion is not allowed.

That was my intention to ban you (for 10 days only!).


I dont know why i write this, because of board rule #11: I don't have to justify myself!

I got my hl2 copy as a gift.. The problem is that i dont have a DVD-Rom...

I installed the game through the network. My neighbor has a DVD-Rom.


When I wanna start to play the game, I have to confirm my CD-Key in the Steam Browser.. When I have entered my key correctly, Steam asks me to insert my HL2 Copy in the cd/dvd rom..

Is there any ways to bypass this without buying a DVD-rom or borrowing one..
Just get yourself a dvd-rom, they aren't expensive. A perfectly fine dvd-rom can be bought for a mere $30. 16x dvd, 48x cd.
It's not like you will be buying a dvd-rom JUST for HL2. In the future many more games will be released on DVD only.

Hi all,

For the people without DVD DriveŽ:
I installed the game on my notebook (worse graphic but dvd drive) and installed it via mapped network-drive on my other pc (good grapic but no dvd drive). I installed steam on the notebook and on the other pc with the same steam account. Halflife 2 works fine with the no CD crack installed.


Greetings.

hi there
i'm one of those u are not using steam and i'd like to get the 1.1 update
does anyone know whereabouts of that patch?

thanks...

Is using the NOCD patch illegal and can you get your Steam account banned from using it or is it not possible to detect. As I dont want to use it and find myself having to buy myself another copy of half life 2.

Isnt Working
 
When I try to play hl2 after using hijacks files it comes up with the notice, the game is not ready to be played in offline mode. I have the settings set for offline and was able to play before i installed those files. THanks

A Valve employee said that the patch does violate the Steam EULA (because it modifies the program during run-time), however I'm not sure that they have any current means of detecting it, and thus far my account has not been banned for using it.

Why would you even want to risk getting banned by using it then (especially if its only a matter of time). I know you gave me the program and I thank you very much for that but if i'm going to end up taking that big of a risk (knowing that it is indeed illegal then why bother :( ). Please, don't get me wrong I hate having to use the DVD to play everytime BUT I don't wanna take a risk that severe (especially a severe risk with a time limit)..

@Arkane0690
There is no risks if you dont let it connect to Steam. I went thru the whole game, useing Hijacks first crack, and have never let it connect online since! When you do want to udpdte just swap the original files back over. No Risks taken then. ;)

Dimensio 02-12-2004 03:03
Anyone tried hijack's fix with the latest Steam/Hl2 updates? The hl2.exe executable might need to be replaced, but you should be able to extract an unprotected exe from source engine.gcf
