HL2 Steamless

Ok so dont tell me off by telling me i didint search the forum.... cuz I DID!
Hear me out

i need to run hl2 with out steam but theres so many files out there that claim to make it work, ive tried about 6-7 none of them work.
and then i get on this forum and start searching but theres like threads with 200-300 posts, its gona take me for ever to look throught that. and even i did look trought some of it. and theres ppl posting files that either have been deleted or dont exist any more.

Please if someone can give me a TUTORIAL and the necessary files to make Half Life 2 work with out steam, it would be so greatly apreciated.
Ive already spent about 3-4 hrs trying to make it work with no luck!

Thank You,
Dennis

i bought the game a long time ago when it first came out, i played it for a while with my account then just stopped playing.
Now i want to play again but i dont remember my user name or password that i used for steam
but the problem is, with the email adress associated to the account, its not an email i use, in fact havent used it since i created the account. so i dont remember the password for that either.
and i cant retreive the password for the email account because i filled out the form fast fast and just put in a bogus birth date, zip code, country, name.....etc.... so when i try to retreive the password i have to fill out a form for which i have no awnsers.

I have a legal copy of hl2!!!! i dont want to do anything illegal. i purchased the game, but i made a stupid mistake now thats keeping me from playing.

so basicly the only way to get this copy of hl2 to work is to go trought Steam. I would have to send them things trought the mail and it takes about 6 weeks....

i dont want to wait 6 weeks for a new cd key.....
i hope you can help me out to make the game work without steam!!!

Thx,
Dennis

Then contact Valve, and ask them explain the situsation. That way you won't be doing "anything illegal"

As i said, valve takes 6 weeks if not more to fix the problem, with a steamless patch it can be fixed in 10 min...

i simply dont want to waste my time contacting valve, its just toooo long of a process!!!!!

cant any one just help me out....????

In my experience with them, they've been prompt and complete with both instances in which I required some help. I think you've been misinformed

Running HL2 without Steam is perfectly legal, why do you thning we have a few threads on it here?

I don't know how to do it myself, but it would seem you want the quick and easy method, that always isn't the case.

I would either ask Valve or PM a few people who are still active in the threads you aparently searched through, and ask them where your going wrong, at least one of those 6-7 methods must work.
