@ 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?

[hijack]

Put the three files in your steam directory and run hijack_hl2.exe. It'll run your normal steam.exe and modify it while it's running.
You don't have to overwrite any file to install it.

Ok done that so i will just disable my internet to make sure its not connecting to steam! Then i will come back and verify if it worked.

[hijack]

It WILL and MUST connect to steam!

This is not a crack, it'll only allow you to play the game without the CD in the drive. Nothing more!

Just a nocd, as explained on the web page.

I open the site with mozilla firefox

and loaded the side, my virusscanner says there where a trojan/browser hijacker on this site

[Grumpy]

Read your last post just before i went to disconnect so i left internet on but still got the 'Insert CD' message! But the thing I dont understand, the hl2.exe is not in the package? The other two files are there but not the hl2.exe?
