@ente
Is Hijack's crack a fake? Have you tried it? I would try it but I dont have Steams exe!

[hijack]

Have u even tried it?

I made it myself and it works fine for me, but feel free to not use it...

I released the source code so if you don't trust me, check the code and build it yourself.

@ Hijack
No I havent tried it as I only have the retail version of the game and dont have the Steam hl2.exe! I was merely taking 'ente' word for it! But for now I will give you the benefit of the doubt and edit my previous post to something more appropriate! For now anyway until someone confirms it!

[hijack]

I included hl2.exe in the package

[Grumpy]

Your readme says to put three files in the directory or is the hijack_hl2.exe actually the steams exe?

[Preach]

Dude! Hijack! Your the best! My bro scratched my copy of HL2, so I was'nt able to load it up anymore - but you saved me!

I just joined this forum to tell you that you sir are awesome!

Hijack's crack is used to eliminate the use of a dvd, but you still need to connect to Steam. How long will we have to wait before a patch comes out that gets rid of having to go online all together? Earlier in these Forums, someone mentioned EMPORIO. They have posted a patch (Half-Life 2 (c) Valve *PROPER* *STEAMRIP* *DVD*) http://www.nforce.nl/index.php?m=nfo&id=79344 Does anyone know if this patch eliminates the Steam Actvation? And if it does, will Hijack's patch be good to use along side of this? I bought the game and im also one of the people that doesnt have the internet on my computer. I just want to play Single Player and not connect to Steam.

I have the dvd version of HL2 and used Hi'jacks crack and i was able to connect with it to steam in offline mode.


To start steam in offline mode you must have "remember my password" option on the logon screen checked.

Also dont check "dont save account information on this computer" on the steam account settings screen.

I would also like to note that this is the first noCD crack that I have ever seen that has been released under the GPL.

Nice going!
