I thought it was me. I stared at what you wrote many times, but I couldn't figure out what you were trying to say.

5 hours 15 minutes 77 megs and 91%.

I'm in freaking trouble.

[edit]

6 hours? 86 megs and 92%

My freaking connection failed so I will be unsure exactly how big the total download will be in the end. :sad:

Screw it. I'll finish later.

I feel your pain buddy. Up until Thursday I was on 56k too (I had forgotten quite how painful it is after having used broadband for a few years.) Fortunately, BT finally got around to activating my 2mb broadband connection so I downloaded it on Friday in about 15 minutes.

Played through it all (twice, as others have done, without commentary then with.) Looks amazing - I especially liked the church part.

The HDR wasn't quite the "PC killer" it had been made out to be; I was able to run it with settings maxed out (apart from the AA being a few notches down from full) at a pretty rock solid framerate.

Its a portal to another dimension obviously... See if you can pry it open wide enough to get through with your crowbar.

Yea, thats the storm portal the combine came through in the first place.....Go through it and give the combine homeworld some hell.

98% and many sessions/connections later. I have no clue how many megs so far. My luck, the warning I received that I have insufficient ram will prevent the game from loading after I finish.

Well I tried to open this strange hole and I just switched off my computer in horror as I saw Dr Breen and the Combine Advisor doing it! :S

100%

Wish me luck. Preferably good.

Very Pretty. The sights. :eek:

Played it through. No glitches at all, and a smooth 30+ fps

Machine stats:
3500+ @ 2.2 ghz
512 pc3200
9800pro @ 256 ram

To bad it was but a single level but, I cannot see how it was such a massive download.

Am going to replay with commentaries on. My only complaint, you cannot play offline mode. :sad:

Get more RAM. It's so cheap nowadays. It's a shame that you have nice specs except for the lack of RAM.

Soon, but even so I ran into no difficulties at all. I am thankful of course but I wonder at why others experienced some difficulty with this level. I did however feel that I missed one or two commentaries. Some are our of sequence when you find them so I lost track. It did not however feel like 14 completed.

My motherboard supports 4 gigs I think. I have a bit of upgradeability left. :smile:

[edit]

Since the completion of this file I cannot seem to go back to offline mode.

I am currently reading the Steam help guide but no answer is apparent.

Anyone have a solution?

Thanks for your time.

I figured it out I think. You first log on online, shut the net off, shut steam off, then turn steam back on in offline mode.

Correct or not, that how I accomplished it.

---

That's how you do it. It doesn't matter when you exit steam as long as you don't "log out" and when you start steam again (as long as you're still "logged in" on the steam servers) it will ask if you want to be in offline mode. Then you can turn your internet back on.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

What graphics card do you have?

Its a Club 3D 6200-128

I wouldn't imagine a 6200 could run HDR reasonably to be honest - it's
not a powerful card and HDR is pretty demanding. I would have thought
it would WORK though, just not be playable.

I got down to about 4fps in the church with the windows blown and the combine pasting me. Not helpful. Locked my PC up about three times. That's at 1280x1024 (TFT) on an XP 2400+ with 1GB o' 2700MHz DDR and a 128MiB 9800 Pro, in case that helps anyone collating any data.

I think it's the resolution that killed your PC. I ran it at 1024x768, and it's pretty smooth.

4fps, though? It's only about half as much screen space again.

Yeh I dont think it would run very well but I recon it should work.

How many GB of memory do you have? What's your processor speed? It depends on a lot of things, not just the GPU.

Mine crashed when there was nothing going on. I have identical stats to
Satchmo. I finished up the church area stuff, walked towards the gate
that explodes, took a detour to grab the items down the steps in the
corner and it locked up on me. Wasn't a hard-lock though, I was
eventually able to return to Windows. I only have crashed in Anzio on
Source, and boy does it crash hard.

I just played it, and 15 minutes? Bulls**t! It was closer to 5.

Well, you can. I am. I just extracted those files from GCF to my HL2
directory and they're all there: I even reverse-engineered (:lol:) the
lost coast... quite cool actually.. what they have done there.

Del Boy and Rodney could get it for you. (brit joke)
or gcfscape maybe. extract the models, and the materials/models folders from the lostcoast gcf, and put them in the same locations in whatever mod your mapping for. they even provided preview pics for the models this time. (unlike cs and dod)

just to be a tease, here's a pic for you. it's a bit big for my house, so it's off to hte scrapyard with it in the morning.
