Does anybody experience problems with the 4th cd?? I can't complete the installation. An error message shows up (talking about something missing in the .cab archive) and the installation abort... Sad

*NOTE* You MUST install Counter-Strike Source as well or you will get an
error for the file hl2.ico1 in hl24.cab on CD4.
This is by fault of VALVE itself and this error is found on the
original retail copies of both the cd version and dvd.

granted you are getting a cab error, but its still CD4, so if you are removing CS:S try not removing it.

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ?Smile

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

hmm easy to read it when it ain't in the nfo... Rolling Eyes

Install Notes:

1. Unpack the release with WinRAR or equivalent
2. Burn with Nero Burning ROM, CDRWin or equivalent.
3. Install the game.
4. Use our fully automated installer found in the /VENGEANCE/ directory
on CD5, hl2install.exe, to apply all necessary cracks and make the
needed shortcuts on your desktop.
5. Play by double clicking the "Half-Life 2" shortcut found on your
desktop.


found out how to get it working and was gonna post it here right now but apperently you got it before me Smile

now I've installed it. And everything is fine. But there is another great problem. When I click on "load game" it returns to the desktop and pop up:

"Source - fatal error
could not acquire necessary game files because the connection to steam servers was lost"

make sure you are using the Half-Life.2.CDVersion.Upgrade-VENGEANCE and that you turn the game in offline mode.
