I signed-up with Steam this past summer and I found a way to avoid the on-line game play. I have not been able to do the same recently.</p> <p>I could not find directions for Half-Live and I went several months without checking on the games. Now that I found my old Half-Life game CD and have the instructions I can not get back to single player mode. </p> <p>Any suggestions? Possibly I just played "Lost Coast" with its one level. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2130#post-13205 Sun, 16 Dec 2007 10:34:02 +0000 eaLazerBeam 13205@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for all the help - I am completely sure no Steam accounts have been registered on my computer before, and this is the first time I have used Steam.

I do not have HL2 on my system, but when I launch Deathmatch I can get into many different servers to play against others. When I launch Lost Coast, I am able to play single user of I guess what is one particular area of the game.</p> <p>All I wanted to do was update my drivers to stop the flickering during some games (Snowy Lunch Rush as an example, but it didn't help) and now I can play a really violent shoot 'em up!
