Heya Guys
Ive got proper Verison of Half life the Game and installed it cuz my mate wants to Vs me on TFC and counter strike installed everything ok and got the lastest updates i try play online and it says sum reason it saying dat but i got a Proper CD Key and Game so it shud work :S any Ideas how to fix it?
cheers chris

If you just bought it recently it's likely someone just stole the key and used it. Or if it was an older copy the same thing is likely to have happened.

Or someone could have possibly generated it prior to you getting your key. Id e-mail valve and ask them for a replacement key, you will probbaly need to scan your current CD case/key and send it to them for a re-issue.

the new steam installer will let u play without the cd install
though u still need a cd-key

as SupaFly-TNT mentioned someone probably stole it.
I know ppl just go on to e3 stores and copy the serial number behind the box. I think they're inside the box now..

Sorry 4 my Dumbness but wat dus Steam install mean??

also love ya sig Jakki Deg is fine

Widnez, google it.

i did a search and freakest thing happend it came up wiv Half Life Steam install lol

its the new platform that valve games are going to be on

check out http://www.steampowered.com/

also u can dl the steamed hl+cs 1.6 from http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/130271.shtml
its 374.9mb but its a lot faster than hl & cs install...
(It also gets rids of the hl sound check, which I hate)

its unlikely its a legit version.. as theres no key gens with half life encryption to randomly make keys so i suggest a retail version to purchase

wat u trying to say lol jk, Nar it is legit Verison it the Genterations Pack one
