By the path to the folder, seems like you aren't using a legal copy of steam to me.

You are not using STEAM to run the game.



That picture you posted has the wrong format for STEAM. STEM has a green window with white text.

Not to mention the files in thre are not even used in the STEAM version of the game.

Making a shortcut of Half Life in STEAM is the same as making a shortcut of half life on the desktop. You are not using STEAM.

You only use STEAM once a game is BOUND to your account. And you can only do that by either buying the game directly from STEAM or registering the games CD-key with STEAM itself.

Unless you did either of those steps you are not using STEAM to play Half Life.

And if you still say you are using STEAM then tell me why you have the red icon for Half Life. STEAM doesnt use that icon.

You need to buy Half Life 1 through Steam or register a valid Half Life 1 CD-Key.

Then when you download ESF, install it to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<username>\half life

Then ESF will work.

Maken van een kortere weg van Halveringstijd in STOOM is het zelfde als makend een kortere weg van halveringstijd op de Desktop. U gebruikt geen STOOM.

U gebruikt slechts STOOM zodra een spel aan uw rekening wordt GEBONDEN. En u kunt dat slechts doen door of het spel direct te kopen van STOOM of de spelen CD-Sleutel met STOOM zelf te registreren.

Tenzij u één van beiden van die stappen deed gebruikt u geen STOOM om Halveringstijd te spelen.

En als u nog zegt u STOOM dan gebruikt me vertel waarom u het rode pictogram voor Halveringstijd hebt. De STOOM gebruikt dat pictogram niet.
