293783 2004-11-19 04:32:00 Just got a copy of half life 2 from the warehouse and now when I try to install, it gets to disk 4 before telling me that it cannot find hl2.ico in XXXX.cab
I forget the name of the cab file.

YES THIS IS A LEGIT COPY OF HL2.

suggestions?

293784 2004-11-19 04:33:00 also... when this happens, HL2 installation spits out an error code and kicks me out.

I think the error code was somewhere in the 1300's

293787 2004-11-19 04:49:00 The torrents were an 'experiment' of Valve's to catch out pirates! Don't use the torrents! Valve will ban and delete any Steam accounts used with the torrent files. wintertide (1306)

I have seen that reported around the places,Seems to be a rumour to scare the gullible off from pirating it....If Valve gave the game away for free through the torrent system then the game is free.....

Plus,the warez version would have the steam/activation component ripped out,and won't be phoning home to get disabled.....

293790 2004-11-19 05:17:00 True, and aside from that most w4r3z has a single key in it.... So that'd mean they've essentially given the game away for Single-Player use only? Chilling_Silence (9)

So that means it's not w4r3z anymore? You can't giveth then taketh with the other hand, not without being questioned. Once in the public domain you can't reverse the process.

293792 2004-11-19 05:34:00 A few complaints about this same error can be found on google - the only one that seems promising is this one (www.rage3d.com). Worth a shot perhaps? Jen C (20)
