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.
