Here is a short guide on how to install this preupdate thing for S. and Elgu:
- Download “preupdate.7z” and “Episode 1 & 2 GCFs.zip.”
- Extract “preupdate.7z” into a folder named “ep2”, this folder can be placed anywhere.
- Extract “Episode 1 & 2 GCFs.zip” to a folder that will have a path with no spaces. Make note of the path.
- Open “rev.ini” in your “ep2” folder and edit the line “CachePath” to match that of the one noted earlier (where all the GCF’s are) and save.
- COMPLETELY EXIT STEAM, I mean go into task manager and make sure “Steam.exe” and “GameOverlayUI.exe” are NOT PRESENT. If even one of those EXE’s are running then you will get an error relating to a material for console and the game will fail to load!!
- Simply double click “ep2.bat” and the game will launch (give it a minute or two for the first launch).
If you have any more questions please PM or add me on Steam, I hope this helped and I cant wait to see HL2:EP2 RUDAHD&WLEw/WLEUU soon!
