Half Live 2 - Orange box. ep2-ok | ep1-not-ok

[Tiago]

I finnish Half live 2 last year and i loved the game.
Now i found the orange box here in PT for 50 euros, and i bought it.

I can play HL2 episode 2 with no problems, but HL2 episode 1 gives me memory errors.... very strange... 4 in 5 executions it gives me an error. But episode 2 runs without any problem....

It seams that the only way that i can play EP1 is to call EP2 then exit then call EP1, but only 1 in 5 it will run... i have to reboot in between...
any ideia what's happening?


About EP2, the game is great, the 3d is really good, but main characters are the same, the scenery looks very similar from HL2. But anyway, i like it a lot!

Anyone did finnish EP1 and EP2?

It could be a Steam issue rather than the game itself. If Steam can't connect to verify the gamecode it won't start the game and will throw up an error. I own the Orange Box too *Xmas pressy from GF) but had already finished EP1 (pirate copy) which ran fine.

I will run the Orange Box version of EP1 later tonight and see if it loads OK for me.

Hello Tiago,

I did but I can't help you with your problem, I have some of my own with the games.
