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. |
