you do not copy over your current esf folder, you make a new one for example this one will be

"Halflife\esf_openbeta"

You use win zip to open the.zip, then you say extract to...hlalf-life folder, when you do that, an open beta folder should automatically appear there, make sure you restart steam if its on.

c:\program files\valve\steam\steamapps\halif-life\username\esf

Shouldnt that be:

c:\program files\valve\steam\username\steamapps\halif-life\\esf
or something?

Actually, It's:

It's "Steam\Steamapps\username\half-life"

OK it's like this: close Steam, delete everything in your ESF folder, extract the esf_openbeta.zip anywhere and copy the contents to the ESF folder (by contents I mean what's inside the esf_openbeta folder). Then just run your ESF shortcut. Works...

Actualy that can make conflicts. All the program paths are set to esf_openbeta and not esf.

So just put the whole open beta foulder into your HL directory.

1 more time, YOU USE Winzip TO extract the files into the HALF-LIFE folder.

When you do so, the folder is automatically created, and it doesn't replace 1.2.3, and restart steam.:talk:
