I found one faq for hl2 but it didn't mention anything about this that I noticed...
I'm having to put the HL2 dvd in the drive to play. Surely I shouldn't need the DVD now that my "copy of hl2 is permanantly registered with this steam account"??? <_<
anyone else who installed off the DVD have this happening?
Yup, everybody who bought retail :(
there is a lot of talk on the forums about it.
With any luck it'll be patched out (they did that wuth ut2k4). It makes no sense for retail buyers to have that extra step. Is this Valve secretly punishing us for not giving our £30 directly to them? ^^
