Sounds like you are due to buy a new DVD player/burner! It will cost you even less than what you have already paid for the HL2 game! ;)

Source - Fatal Error
 

Somebody please help me.........

-I ve managed to create a working image with Games X copy and i installed HL2 from this image...everything ok till now!!!
-i have a valid steam account.
-i unlocked CS:source and HL2 from internet (with the help of some files already downloaded from a friend of mine).If u right-click on them (in "play games" on steam menu) and select "properties" u can see "Status:Ready to play" "Amount acquired:100%" and "Offline mode:Ready".But i was not able to play using this image cause of "Emulation software detected....etc" (securom obviously).
-i downloaded Emporio's fix, Hijack's dll 1.5 for XP SP2 users and Hijack's No cd crack (i dont know which version) and i apply them correctly i think!!
-i managed to play CS:Source correctly!
-BUT when i try to play HL2, during the game, when "LOADING" message appears, i wait for some secs and then a message appears, i turn back to windows and the game has stopped!!!!
The message is: "Source - Fatal Error : Could not acquire necessary game files because the connection to Steam servers was lost."

What have i done wrong?
Somebody please help me!!!!
I dont know what else to do!!!!

You tried to circumvent the online activation and it is giving you an error ;), in laymans terms "GO BUY THE GAME". Oh and when you do, stop trying to create images of the game since SecuROM has that workaround blocked :). With Alcohol 120 percent (which is better than Games X Copy ) I got the same emulation error and will continue to do so until they release the new alcohol (that won't be for awhile though so might as well not even wait)..

there is a emulation problem walk around... :rolleyes:

Not working
 

Hi, i am new to this sort of thing. I am trying to get the hijack exe to work, i have extracted it to the steam directory and i have executed it from that directory using the Hijack.exe file. This worked for a day or so but now it tells me that there is no cd in the drive, exacly the same as if i tried using the steam.exe.
Can anyone help me please, i am running XP2 SP2.

Thanks

@paulus
All I can say is it seems to work for some people and not for others! Its nothing to do with Sp2 as I to have Sp2 installed and it has always worked for me in Offline mode! But I have never been connected to the net when I play. And I am still using Hijacks first crack! ;)

hmm maybe thats the problem then...maybe for hijack to work u need to disable yer internet connection...i think i may try that

i ve done all these u said...but nothing...
..blocking with zone alarm the appropriate procedures....
...and no internet connection when i try to play...

"can't find background image 'materials'console'background01.vtf"

what does it mean?

Fix info please
 

Hello,

I have installed HL2 EURO OFF, i have autorized steam to take the 1st update and i have installed hijack_hl2-1.5 and Drac's fix. But Steam want to connect for create account or run with existant account.

1) Is it necessary that I let leave steam to internet ??
2) It did no possibily to play offline ? Or I makes an error let it go on Internet? :eek:

Thank for U reply.

i need an hl² no-dvd crack.
i have the dvd version and want to play without the dvd.#

plz help

You even bother to read this thread?

Me2, untill today!

I guess they did something to disable the nodvd-patch! :(

Please help!

@Epitome
How did Steam know you had patched it? You should not have been online to play in Offline mode! I have never gone online to play once I installed Hijacks crack! I swapped back to the original files to update on the net, then installed hijacks fix again to play in Offline mode. ;)

@JB
When I read that post, from the person after the DVD crack, I nearly wrote exactly what you did. :)
