It already works. CS:S uses the same hl2.exe (protected or not).

Hey guys isn't possible to install the game on more than one computer? I tried to install it on another but it wont let me because it says the cdkey is already registerd, which it is. So are they saying that the game can only exist on one computer per copy? I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi all,

For the people without DVD Drive´:
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.

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.

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)..

Buy the game. There is to be no discussion of Steam bypasses.

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

It might seem obvious, but some people don't realize that you need to make sure the internet connection is off! It won't go to off-line mode as long as the connection is on...

On my end, I have to make sure that it's off when booting up my PC. Otherwise it seems to know that I have a connection, whether it's on or off at the time I start the game doesn't matter. Basically, when loading the game if it detects the connection, it either just hangs if it's off, or it connects to Steam if it isn't. That said, If done correctly it will appear that it is connecting, but you will get an error that asks if you want to play off-line or try connecting again. Choose off-line and it should work. Good luck!

BTW, I have an external cable modem. Not sure what someone with an internal modem can do in this regard!

From what some people say about the EULA, I would assume that there is now no need for the CD/DVD patch at all, and it would be safer just not using it. It surprises me there are many still looking for such patches, let alone people using the patch knowing of the update...

Oh well, whatever floats your boat!
