I don’t have a keyboard to speedrun with anymore. Figure, when I get a computer that can get over 10 fps in HL2, my beloved keyboard dies.

If I were you, I would probably buy me a new one. But that is just how I would do it. You might have a better idea.

I have a working Old Engine HL2 (Build 4044). Its a rather clever setup. You can try your luck with this.

1. Install Steam if you haven’t.

2. Download Source SDK 2006 in the Tools section of your Library.

3. Download these - [https://mega.co.nz/#!NVgSwJwR!qcNwWog52zJGTjk3uH2nmEmGOSUzagRQ8aRObYKHwLo](https://mega.co.nz/#!NVgSwJwR!qcNwWog52zJGTjk3uH2nmEmGOSUzagRQ8aRObYKHwLo)

IMPORTANT! Don’t delete the link file, you need it to boot the game. It isn’t as simple as it looks. The file came from an old fourm thread that has since been deleted and it has lots of complex programming stuff that I barely understand. Don’t lose it.

4. Place the hl2 folder in your sourcemods folder

5. Either start up Steam or restart Steam depending on wither you have it running or not.

6. Run Half-Life 2 (Build 4044).lnk

7. Play Game.

Note: You may need to download Source SDK 2007 because of reasons.  
I think that’s the longest post I’ve ever made.

Will Valve think this is a pirated copy? I do not want my steam account to be disabled.

Don’t worry, your Steam account will not be banned.

Good because i heard 20,000 steam accounts were disabled in 2004 for pirating half life 2  
I just thought valve might disable my account because steam verifies any type of half life 2 game and it sends the info to valve  
but i own like 3 copies of half life 2 so yeah  
also can i name this exactly the same name as original? and can i add it to my steam library?  
just want to be on the safe side
