i put -steam in the launch options and it started working again

I just download HL from Steam and copy them to Absolute Zero folder and It's work! So that's mean you must fix it for this game or everyone that reach here cannot play it.

He was gone for like almost 2 years he's back now?

I played this a long time ago. as a matter of fact I played it when it came out and yes I was aware of the many issues the game had but i still enjoyed it. unfortunately the devs did say they lost the passion and didn't continue development so the game just sat down in my unrecognised collection for all these years and recently I saw it and realised the devs actually did continue. just wondering if its complete or almost complete? I really did enjoy it....

so i guess its not that great
