Half-Life 2: Episode 1

[DaveyD]

There's some fix / workaround on the Steam forums, I'll see if I can find it, it's something to do with the firewall stuff and browers stuff I think.

Also, try doing
Start => Run => steam://purchase/79

Try re-installing Steam over the top of itself. http://steampowered.com/?area=getsteamnow

Start => Run => steam://purchase/79

'The parameter is incorrect'

Try reinstalling Steam over the top, then if that fails, try what is suggested here:

I have the same card as you - the only slowdown occured in the reactor core in the Citadel. Everything else was superb and I was running at 1920x1200 with everything maxed.

Yeah me too. Never thought it'd run at native res on a 2405!

That appears to have done the job

Many thanks mate

...Some time later...just 2% left to go woo!

As part of Valve's continuing effort to build better games, we have traditionally relied on things like written feedback from players to help decide which improvements to focus on. More recently, Steam has allowed us to collect new kinds of information. Episode One includes a reporting mechanism that tells us about how people are playing the game. We're sharing the EP1 gameplay stats data because we think people will find it interesting, and because we expect to spot emergent problems earlier, and ultimately build better products and experiences as a result. Let us know what you think.

Some interesting stats there, especially the playing time average.
