Just Episode 2. I myself hope the Orange Box gets releases as a single package rather than all these individual releases.

ha!

October 11th, 2007 | 02:31

both Portal & EP2 also to be found in a.b.games

I have been taking part in the TF2 beta since it launched and i pwn your face at it. Definitely recommend AGAINST pirating the Orange Box, this is DEFINITELY worth paying for….. Its only $50.00 dont be a cheap ass bastard. LOL.

Well…it shares with HL2 and EP1 and the source engine files with Portal and TF2…so you have to copy all those files and make it so that it can run by itself…

Oh and does this require the original Half Life 2? Or does the Half Life 2 Episode Two come as a stand alone?

Tux

October 11th, 2007 | 07:45

is it even possible to play Team fortress 2 online without buying the game?

I decided I didn’t want to be bothered, so i purchased the orange box through steam, letting me play the TF2 beta for a while now. Also purchased Counter strike: source.
But back to the question, how can you play online without purchasing games? Like REAL online gameplay where there are lots of others to play with, not online play where you can only play with your friends.

ssrat

October 11th, 2007 | 07:58

I want to get O.B but since all I want is the ep.2 I’ll grab this until they decide to release it seperately.
I Want my Black box, pulling it from release was just a money grab, since I don’t play online I don’t WANT TF2

Im sorry, but i did not understand the NFO. It says: Create shortcut on hl2.exe and add these parameters: -steam -game ep2.

Im stuck! What to add, a new mapfile? Anyone can help?

Bull

October 11th, 2007 | 12:58

Right click the shortcut you made, select properties and edit the target box so it reads something like,

“install folder\hl2.exe” -steam -game ep2

ha!

October 11th, 2007 | 13:00

so, scene insiders, where is TF2? Any news, ideas, rumours?

My shortcut is confugred like this :

Can someone help me plz?

EoN

October 11th, 2007 | 14:20

@56 Jau
Make a shortcut of the HL2.Exe and then right click on the shortcut and select properties.
You’ll see a option called ‘Target’.
Add parameters there.
Or create a .Bat with Install-folder/HL2.Exe -steam -game ep2 typed in there. Make sure the bat is in the install folder.

jarp

October 11th, 2007 | 14:28

Ok, seem to have found the solution:

Solution:
Open Regedit
Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VALVE\STEAM
check that “installpath” key is where non steam-down is installed

TO THOSE HAVING THE MountAppFilesystem() ERROR.

I was having the error too. The reason for it is a bad unpacking of the rars.

You MUST unpack using the .rar file, not the .00 ones etc.

Hope it works

I don’t know. maybe the solution is waiting for a fix, a crack or a new release. Please tell me whether this is the orange box or just episode 2. Those of have downloaded and installed the gane can provide reliable answer to this question. Come on, guys

i was making the mistake of leaving the ” off

The car driving bit at the end was a tad lame..

With maximum GFX settings the game worked perfectly even with my poor compy:

Intel Pentium 4 3.06Ghz
Ati Radeon X1950 Pro 512Mb
2Gb RAM

faceofademonslayer, just use the looler.com links above, I gave up on the .torrent, 1kbs wasn’t cutting it.
It’s got a 30Kbs d/l limit, but you can d/l 5 rars at once. (maybe more, but that max’s my connection…)
Once that lot are done, just reset your modem to get a new ip, and your good to go again.

exacly you must reset modem so you have to do something. I set my torrent to download and then I came back 3 weeeks later to find out that is was downloaded. Then game waits for about 14 months for me to have time to install it and play.

They are: several missing textures (replaced by purple), animations are sometimes replaced by standing idle with arms out by sides (very obvious during first advisor scene), secondary ammo is not displayed in HUD, and I can not receive health from medics. Also, developer commentary is sometimes cut short a few seconds. Not only have I experienced similar bugs in other steamless half life games, I read of others having these problems on this release. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I downloaded this twice. The 1st time I had no errors in the RAR’s (5GB), but game was missing lots of files and was getting the mount error. Downloaded a 2nd time from a different source, this time was double the size (DVD9). Seems to me the big problem was the one of the sources got messed up in the raring process.

DaLoon

October 14th, 2007 | 18:57

Charlie i think that was more your doing than anything as i download this version an my nephew got that other 1 you on about and they both work fine !!!

you get the mount error from extracting from wroung rar and not apliying the fix

Q

October 14th, 2007 | 20:09

this seems to work for a lot of people but it hates me for some reason. doesnt even start with the shortcut no error nothing

help….

DaKar

October 15th, 2007 | 05:27

ok guys, im pretty sure i know how to fix it.
go through all your rar files until you find “unl-ep2.rar”
if it has a number where the .rar should be, DONT extract.
only extract from that one and then rename your shortcut.
goodluck

Hi there,

I got a problem with the advisor scene in this old farmhouse. Alyx unplugs something on the console I cannot see (missing textures, I guess) and then nothing happens. I think I have to to do something at the console, but what?

Can anyone help? Thx alot,
Uschi

October 15th, 2007 | 13:47

@151: You need to cut off the advisor’s life support power, and you do that by hitting the ball-like-thingy that’s moving up and down in the tube, with your gravity gun.

lolo

October 15th, 2007 | 16:23

i have the same problem with textures missing and people standing around idle. reading comments on piratebay show others have the exact same bugs ingame. seems like the release is falty?
also commentary mode doesnt show any “comment symbols” for me ingame.

October 15th, 2007 | 16:36

Absolutely doesn’t work. Always says mount failed. Even downloaded the fix and edited steamemu.ini accordingly.

DaLoon

October 15th, 2007 | 19:14

Absolutely do work aquafloe , most of us here got it to work , did you remember to extract from .rar file and not .r00 file ?

October 15th, 2007 | 20:47

Is there a fix like there was for Portal Unleashed?

I tried the ViALUK fix and it did nothing

READ READ READ READ READ

hey peeps
for all of those who have the MountAppFilesystem() ERROR. thingy
i found a solution that worked for me and several other ppl so it must be it! (havent tried for half life 2 episode two yet though, only portal)

go into the game folder where the shortcut is supposed to be and open with notepad: SteamEmu

read down until it says: “MountCacheManual = 400 something and change it to MountCacheManual = 405

in the end it should look like this:

MountCacheManual = 405
;With this you can manually mount cache files, but you will need the CacheID to mount optional caches.

tell me if it works for you cause here theres no problems

Is there a fix for the elevator ride with the vortigon? It sticks at loading I had to push reset :/.

Joe Public

October 16th, 2007 | 07:08

FOR ALL OF YOU THAT CAN”T GET IT TO WORK…

This by far isn’t the first time i’ve done this… so don’t even begin to try and flame me…

When starting the game, using my shortcut with proper addition per .nfo… it would give me an error.. reading the error I was having a problem with shader9somethingorother.dll file.. so.. I did the directx unregister/reregister dll fix.. no go..
More examination into this file on steam and 3 reasons were related to either a 64-bit system.. so add the -32 on it.. no go there..
OR WMI corruption.. so I did the fixes to correct that.. still no go…

So I said screw it… and simply reinstalled windows.. and of course.. as I knew it would.. it ran perfectly fine.. still had the original extract and shortcut on another drive… and it worked fine… sooo..

basicially it was a corruption either somewhere in my directx or WMI or somewhere with windows… and it sure wasn’t nvidia drivers cause I reinstalled my forceware 93.71 and it runs fine on 6800gt card…

maybe a quick reinstall is needed on YOUR system… (I needed it anyways… had been about 6 months and damn my desktop had tons of shortcuts.. now and nice and clean.. .. except for HL2_EP2 shortcut.. )

darkest`hour

October 16th, 2007 | 08:33

Okay got it fixed. This one has more action. I love the car ride.. The jeep in hl2 sucked but the car in this is awesome. They kind of have the same sounding engine though.

TO THOSE HAVING THE MountAppFilesystem() ERROR.

I was having the error too. The reason for it is a bad unpacking of the rars.

You MUST unpack using the unl-ep2.rar and not unl-ep2.r00

Hope it works.

Thnkz anyway.

Simpliton

October 17th, 2007 | 22:11

Yah the above “fixes” may be working for some but I like others on here have properly followed the directions to run this game to no avail.

The Mountapp error was the same thing that happened in Portal and changing mountcache model from 428 – 405 worked for it. But it does not for HL2.

So here’s hoping someone knows what’s up.

MorbidGod

October 17th, 2007 | 22:34

I did change that value too for HL2EP2 (and no go), should i leave it this way ou change it back to 428?

Neptunes27

October 18th, 2007 | 00:02

I wish people would read the entries and follow directions. I too was getting frustrated ’til I read them and saw that you HAVE TO EXTRACT FROM .rar, NOT .00! OR .29!!!! OR…well, you get the idea.

But uhh…about those missing textures and idle NPCs?

Is episode two a much more graphics intense game that my GeForceGo 6150 can’t handle it anymore even at low settings or is something wrong with my download?

SOLUTION!!

Mountappfilesystem errors usually done by a lost GFC file.
You should have 13 .gfc files, which are the following :

episode 1 shared.gcf
episode two content.gcf
episode two maps.gcf
episode two materials.gcf
episodic 2007 shared.gcf
half-life 2 episode two english.gcf

Here Is Fix For MountAppFilesystem() error
And I Hade All Files
Open The SteamEMU file With NotePad
Copy And Replace With This

[Options]
SteamAppsDir = ..\
; Used if UseCacheFileSystem = True

UserName = Unleashed
; This will be returned on SteamGetUser.

EmailAddress = Unleashed@owned-steam.org
; This will be returned on SteamGetCurrentEmailAddress.

Language = english
; Default language, if none is entered will be english.
; This entry can be used if the game is multilanguage!

MountOptionalCache = False
; This will mount optional cache files (Most likely these are low violence gfx)

MountCacheManual = 428
;With this you can manually mount cache files, but you will need the CacheID to mount optional caches.

CurrentAppId = 420 //Half-Life 2: Episode Two

SubscribedSubIds = 0, 501 //Steam, Half-Life 2: Episode Two Retail

Please Post Back Let Me Know how you Get On

Ok Make Sure When You Add The -steam -game ep2
At Target Where The Orginal Target Ends With ” Its Like This
” -steam -game ep2 Not Like This “-steam -game ep2
Just Copy And Paste At The ” But Make Sure You Press Space
So Looks Like This hl2.exe” -steam -game ep2

Ok, well you need PORTAL aswell for this to work. Portal was the first game, then episode 2. episode 2 wont work without portal since portal contains some of the GCF’s required for episode 2 to work. Hence the orange box, it wern’t going to be seperate content. It’s all linked.

THIS WORKED! Basically there were 2-3 .gcf files that were missing for some reason and I had to manually extract from the unl-ep2.rar file. I didn’t mess with editing the SteamEmu.ini file Thanks Soni!

“SOLUTION!!

Mountappfilesystem errors usually done by a lost GFC file.
You should have 13 .gfc files, which are the following :

episode 1 shared.gcf
episode two content.gcf
episode two maps.gcf
episode two materials.gcf
episodic 2007 shared.gcf
half-life 2 episode two english.gcf
source 2007 binaries.gcf

nVidia user go to http://www.guru3d.com and download Rivatuner 2.05
READ TOTURIAL CAREFULLY cause there is some risk in Overclockling…. but Rivatuner can switch your Card fan to 100% regardless of temp. so it will lower your inner comp temperature which is 80% what’s causing your hard-reset…

If you can also boost you CPU % System fan to 100% ( lourd noise i tell you !! ) it will drastictly decrease the chance of Hard-reset

EX : my GF-7600GT OC is:
Core clock : 600
Mem Clock : 833 (256 ddr3)
Rivatuner : 510mb of ram just for DirectX = 760mb VideoRam
( was 530 normally, so i got around 45% more ram for game )
Temprature at normal Fan : 63c to 85+ LOT OF HARD-RESET !
Card Fan at 100% = 59c to 79+ *sometime do hard-reset

all CPU+Sys(rear fan)+Card Fan at 100% = 50c to 72-73c MAX !!
and i can’t remember the last time my comp hard-reset i even play “Bioshock” 1024×768 everything at high at 25 fps, with few slow down…. trust me GO GRAB RIVATUNER 2.05 !!!

Half Life2 – Episode2: AppFilesystem() error

Looks like there are as many solutions as questions:My experience with RaR files is that you can click on ANY file in the set using ‘Extract Here’ and entire set will extract… I d’loaded two different game rar files from 2 dif souces… both extracted fully (one of them was a rar set within a rar set).

I believe the problem is two fold;
1) With respect to our friends who provide the files, the installation instructions don’t cover problems arising from all the various prior installation variables.
2) I believe where your ‘original’ game is installed and where you install the next episode(s)related files is where the problems lie.
When comparing my orig 1/2life install and Episode 1 install, Episode 2 install does seem to vary from the pattern.

I did considerable research and was of the opinion that the SDK (software developement kit) was required from valve/source to properly install all the *.GCF files which didn’t seem to be implemented[mainly because the resources/materials etc which were installed with Episode 1 weren't there in Episode 2]
However, this isn’t the case.

I found a successful,if awkward work-around for anybody still having probs w episode2.
I’ll just cut to the chase and list what I did. May not make sense or work for others but hopefully it will provide some insight to your problems…

Orig 1/2 LIFE install was to C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2
EPISODE1 install was to C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2\EPISODE 1
EPISODE2 install was to C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2\EPISODE 2
next Moved the 13 .GCF files to C:\GAMES\Half Life 2\SteamApps
next Opened notepad and typed; hl2.exe -steam -game ep2
Saved file as ” start.bat ” in C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2\EPISODE 2
next Opened ” SteamEmu.ini ” file in C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2\EPISODE 2
Edited first entry
FROM; SteamAppsDir = ..\
TO; SteamAppsDir = C:\GAMES\Half Life 2\SteamApps
[this is where I moved .GCF files to/your location will be different]
Save file
next Created a desktop icon from;
C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2\EPISODE 2\start.bat
Renamed shortcut to HALF LIFE EPISODE 2
Changed shortcut ICON by browsing to and selecting;
C\GAMES\HALF LIFE 2\EPISODE 2\HL2.exe
Checked OK and closed option window [saving icon]
note This eliminates the need to add the HL2.exe game parameters;
-steam -game ep2
to the game start Icon properties…

To be honest, I have only just done this. However, the game starts correctly and I’m played long enough to escape from the train and get the Grav Gun.

Give it a shot and please let us know how it turns out…..

Regards/jb

Ok, for those who download RIVATUNER plz don’t go mad over overclocking !!! it’s not because it pass the “test” button that it’s ok,

Play a “working Game” to see if the new clock work fine, if not you’ll quickly notice it, all will go like da,da,da,da,da,da “scratch audio disk” for a few second, this mean the GPU is unstable when heating

google “rthdribl” which is a little prog for GPU stability test let is run for a while, + check RIVATUNER tutorial for knowing how to monitor your G.Card temperature,

Possible memory error solution:

Fixing the Memory error when playing Half-Life 2 in Windows XP SP2
============================================================
======
By Sam Raheb, December 28, 2007

Windows XP Pro SP2 Error prompt:
The instruction at “0x241f94f7″ referenced memory at “0x0e54f41c”. The memory could not be “read”.

From researching the internet, this error is apparently associated with Paged Pool Memory (PPM). It seems like other programs or devices are using too much of the allocated PPM. So you need to either increase the amount of PPM or find and remove / disable the programs or devices using too much of the allocated PPM to play Half-Life 2.

The easy way that works is to increase the amount of PPM.

You can manually set the PPM pool size via the Registry [Windows default value is 0 (Hexadecimal)].

To make the change, use Window’s Regedit.

1) Start > Run, type in “regedit” (without quotes) and hit enter.
2) Navigate to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management
3) Double click on the “PagedPoolSize” key.
4) Enter one of these values to set the size:
192Mb – 0c000000
256Mb – 10000000 (256Mb fixed PPM for Sam’s XPS ccomputer on 12/28/2007, original hex value was 0)
384Mb – 18000000
5) Reboot

Instead of manually editing the Registry to make PPM change, you can create a simple Registry file (.reg) using the following code.

Registry code to Set the PagedPoolSize to 256Mb – 10000000 (Example file name: Game_Add_PPM.reg):
————————————————————————————————-
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
“PagedPoolSize”=dword:10000000

Registry code to Restore the PagedPoolSize back to 0 (Example file name: Game_Restore_PPM.reg):
———————————————————————————————-
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
“PagedPoolSize”=dword:00000000

Remember to Reboot for the change to become effective.

Playing Half-Life 2
——————-
If you created the two registries files as stated previously, then perform the following to play Half-Life 2:

(1) Run the Game_Add_PPM.reg file to set the PPM.
(2) Reboot
(3) Play Half-Life 2
(4) Run the Game_Restore_PPM.reg file to restore the PPM.
(5) Reboot

Steps (4) and (5) are optional. I needed to perform Steps (4) and (5) in order to re-enable my Ramdrive.

It didn’t work for me.. maybe it will work for you.
