Slightly annoyed as I bought Half Life a couple of weeks ago.
Even more annoyed, as it turned out that it doesn't run on Windows 10 - it installs and launches, but isn't capable of any sort of useful FPS.
I ended up installing Windows XP in a virtual machine and then installing HL on that - I get native resolution and fps that matches my monitor.
Steam does have history selling games that can't be played. I bought Max Payne a few years ago at only to find that doesn't run on Windows 10 either (iirc I used WINE that time).
- jki275 7y agoI've played HL and HL2 on Windows 10 and not had any of the issues you describe -- what hardware are you using?
- nothis 7y agoSame. The issue probably isn’t Windows 10.
- BuildTheRobots 7y agoHL2 is absolutely fine. HL1 is not. It's a 6-core 4ghz processor with a gtx-970 graphics. No problems with other titles.

- dmead 7y agothis sounds wrong.
- asutekku 7y agoThis absolutely a problem with your computer. All valve games run at literally hundreds of FPS on my Win10.
- BuildTheRobots 7y agoI don't seem to be the only other person with problems - and considering I can get useful FPS out of HL2 and other modern titles (or decent fps when it's virtualised) I really don't think it's a hardware problem.
