Wh-key_Mke Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 :shock: OK Its been almost 2years since Ive played and there have been some changes... Mainly this steam deal... Now I have read alot of the help forums on both this site and the steam site itself and not to sure if anyone else has had this problem... My cpu gets totally locked up and sometimes I cant even ctl alt del to restart the thing... Sometimes it locks up when Im just trying to change the key settings for the game.. or when Im trying to connect to a server.. or Ill get connected play for about 2 mins and it locks up... Ive only downloaded the minimal steam install... AND could understand if that was the problem but like I said it lets me connect and play but then totally locks up... Any help would be greatly appreciated..... TY...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DasHuhn Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 From my experiences, anything but the full downloads = STEAM not working right. Go get the DoD or TFC or DMC version of steam - it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I agree.Get the full Steam install.Then the full 2.8 FA install. The same for the rest of the mods.Steam was really hard to get working early on but it has gotten easier as you learn its quirks.If you have HL already installed in your comp. Make sure you have played it and the CD key is active.Then make sure it is updated to 1.1.1.0.The install Steam, Then FA, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBojangles Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Yeah get the full install bla bla bla. That usually works.PS MacI never had to install hl on this comp or enter a cd key. Maybe its cause i took my bros shared steam installer but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 You are correct. With the full Steam installer you do not need HL. Just the cd key.I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam.Gen. Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 No..you don't even need a CD key...This one time when I installed, I never entered my CD key, and I had just formatted..soo..Apparently not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macgyver Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 It picked up your cd key from a prior installataion is my bet. It resides in the registry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wh-key_Mke Posted January 12, 2004 Author Share Posted January 12, 2004 AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! OK GOT FULL DOWNLOAD>>> Still freezes up. I unistalled every freaking thing, by the book restarted each time. I read all the toutarials mac wrote up.. THis is really weird.. It never locks up the same place or time... One thing I noticed really strange was when I go into the control settings and try to change the mouse sensitivity the second I click the mouse tab it freezes up.. Also IF I go to the game first instead of the servers.. It wont connect to a server and it locks up.. I sometimes get to play for like 2 minute or so before it locks up but if i try to bring my console down itll lock up everytime ...... SO GUYS ??? :?
