Wait is all you can do.

Same thing happened when Half-Life 2 was offically released and people were even more pissed couse they could not play even though they has already paid for the game.

I downloaded the demo and well when I clicked it to install then it didnt do **** so I just deleted plus Ill probably buy it in a little bit anway ya one thing you can try though is that if you have a steam account log into that then just shut down steam unhook your internet install the half life 2 demo and run it using offline mode should work I know I can do that with my friends account, WITH HIS PERMISSION of course

hope that helps....

I understand why they do that on a retail version but on a demo version which is available for anyone with an internet connection. That sucks.

Don't blame Valve and Steam... blame the stupid crackers that feel they need to pirate every game instead of buying it.

Dont mean 2 b rude but the demos are not the game.. they are just 'demos' why should u have 2 use steam to play hl2 demo? i have hl2 and it took me 45 mins to install hl2 and cs source on my pc after all the files were put on.. that annoyed me... but i noe why they do it... but a demo? u cant crack and play the entire game if its a demo... its just supid... u downalod and play demo's to sample games.. somethings they come up wiht just annoy me... its because its getting harder and longer 2 install applications and why? because those hacks like 2 crack everything; why? because some of those applications and games are so unrealisticaly priced that no one in their right mind would buy them unless in utter need 4 them.
