I dont use steam and cannot install the patch The error message says "cannot find esf" and the strange part is that when I type in the directory, it tells me the "folder already exists do you wan to install anyways". Select yes and it tells me it cannot find the folder. Suggestions?

I remember some web-sites had some java-chat rooms that would take you through mIRC Servers. just saying this cause I want to get on the #esf channel but im at the college and I cant download any programs on their comps :p

Hey I'd Like to know if I can still play ESF without actually having Half-Life. But I do have Counter-Strike. Would it still work?
