COREY Ive been looking to play with you almost all evening.I cant seem to find ya are you playing on a nother server.

 

Ten Four.
I played on that one for awhile, but the server admin changed the max headcount to 8 people
That is not enough.

I like servers that have 16 or more spots available.
Is the name you have lsited above the one I would enter into the Steam Friends list?
I find though that the Friends feature is not reliable.

I added Jeremy just fine last week, yet I can not add a friend of mine who lives close by.
That thing is buggy I think.

I found a few other good servers, here is one, but I think it is death match only, and not teams.

I will look later for another good one I was on.

 

i looked for you a couple times yesterday corey and didnt see you playing

 

Yea i noticed it was only 8 players.I played it a little bit,hoping that you might show up but it was kinda boring with only 8 other people playing. Yea you can put someduder into your friends list.I added you to mine,but it always showed you being offline.

 

Do not trust that friends list.
I just added you to mine, and set it up to alert me when you entered a game or game online.

The reason I say do not trust it, as I added Jeremy last week, and now he does not even show up on the list.

Steam deleted my list.
It is buggy and should be classified as betaware.

Jeremy, I was on and on quite a bit the other day.
I may play some today.
I need your username again to add it to the Friends Steam list.

 

you would think with as long as they've had steam released the problems would be ironed out by now. Its not like this is a low budget project or something.

I pm'd you my details again.

 

I was on it tonight,and I noticed that the friends list was down for maintaince.Hopefully they will have fixed some of the problems.It is such a new game it seems to have lots bugs in it that they will need to work out.

 

its a relatively new game, but they had the steam program that runs friends in full public beta for like a year before they released HL2 .


Corey, do you have a new server you play on now?

 

Yes I do.
I will have to fire up the game later and post a screen shot of the IPs.

Two of them are in the Northwest here, and reflect that in their name.

Hopefully my favorite server ups their count from 8 to 16 or higher again.
Eight is simply to low.

 

Jeremy, here is a pic of the server list from my faves.
Server list

The Garage Sale was my fave, but that is the one that has been cut back to 8 players.

The Northwest Lemon Party is a pretty good one, along with the Omega one.
I will probably be on the former one later today sometime off & on.

 

I am sure most of you Half Life and Counter Strike players who use Steam already had the pop up news panel alert you to the updates for these two games, but if not, we are in for a treat.

 

I need a little help here. I spent $55 and didn't get any directions. Called the company and spoke with some "foreigner" and was basically told tough ÅÅÅÅ as there's no directions; you're on your own. Still having problems understanding that logic. I have found this game way over my head without directions and a few tips here and there like giving attack commands to friendly forces - I've never made so many saves in my entire life as I have on this single game - of course, I never played half life 1, otherwise I probably couldn't say that. After three weeks of frustration, I'm currently completely stuck/stumped on the tram episode, that's where you finally stumble across the transport pods and get a long ride only to lose all your weapons with the exception of the gravity gun and you no longer can jump using the space key. Everything is dead-ended. All the troopers are dead, I tore off the screen on the wall, tried to stack dead bodies etc. to walk over the gates - can't jump the damn gates, can't crawl through the gates, can't pull anything with the gun, can't shut any force fields down. How do I get through this little episode? How many hours do I have left before I get to the end?

 

Joe,
There is a manual you need to right click on the hl2 icon in the play games menu in steam and then go to manual. as for where you are can you take a screen shot then i might be able to help

 

Ditto, I can help as well.

Also, you may want to look at one or more of the various HL2 walk-throughs that are around the 'net.

And, as for how much longer you have in the game... Dude, you're right at the beginning. You have a LONG way to go.

 

Here's where I'm at & this might be my problem. I didn't watch his entire speech and I've got that glitch because I can't jump that ramp. I'll try again tonight but I've gone back to a previously saved time period and it didn't help my problem of not being able to jump. With all the info you guys gave me I'll finish this game up before next week - if I can get out of this particular level. Thanks for all the help - sure wish I'd posted when I purchased this bad boy.

13.4: Where do I go now?
- Follow the path. It should be pretty linear and have a little
resistance. But now that you are a walking tank of death, it shouldn't
be any problems. Watch the entire Dr. Breen speech. A glitch that
can happen here is that you can't jump. That is a problem since past
the terminal Dr. Breen is gloating from. You have to jump the ramp.

Update: I've received many e-mails about this glitch and simply
the only solution is to restart the level and hope it is not
fragged. Please report the glitch to Steampowered.com so that
the devs will patch it.

 

Ahh... okay, I know where you are now. I had to go back through the walk-throughs a few times to remember. You're actually very close to the end!


I didn't have an issue with the glitch they're talking about, but from what you say, it certainly looks like you do. Dern it!

The only thing I can think of is to keep going back farther through your saves until you can get to this point and still have jump capabilities. Past that, there's a cheat that will let you "fly"... you can use that to get past the ramp, then turn it off. The problem though may be that you still won't have jump later, and yes, you'll need it in the next (and final!) chapter.

 

Not sure if all of you HL2 players have your Steam set to bring up news force fed to you, but here is waht came out today, and I like the part about them identifying cheaters on the servers.

There are to many of them on Counter Strike Source, and some hacking HL2 multiplayer too.
I hate cheaters, they should have their PCs smashed.

 

good maybe it will be fun to play hl2dm again
