The ONLY Half-Life 2 Thread. Do Not Create New Threads

[hijack]

Valve removed the CD-Check, so my NOCD is no longer needed.

The Link is dead.


EDIT:
Ok now it works. It think my Inet connect had problems..

EDIT #2:

When I start the hijack_hl2.exe then steam starts. there i choose play HL2.
Then steam gives me the error:

Steam - Error

The Game is currently unavaliable.
Please try again at an other time.

What can i do?

Check the hl2.exe you installed, it should be 86 088 bytes and sit where steam.exe is installed. Then check that it has properly overwritten the file steamapps/<your account>/half life 2/hl2.exe (it should be the exact same file after you started hl2 via hijacked steam).

Try to run hl2.exe without steam. It should complain about a missing dll. If it says anything else, you probably have a corrupted file.

Here's the md5sum of hl2.exe: b00737498dbb7d4ab17c44aec27d50bd

Edit: Try with torrent link above, it's an updated version

Will there soon be a way of activating the game without Internet-Connection. I do not have one at home, but want to play the singleplayermode.
Or is there already a way?




Sorry for my poor english. I´m from germany.

There are two ways getting a valdi serial number:
1. Buy the retail boxed game from a store.
2. Buy a ATi graphic card with a Serial-Key-Card to download the game via Steam.

There are no other ways and discussion about other ways aren't allowed here!

No discussion about bypassing the Steam-Activation.
