EDIT: Problem solved, so I decided to turn this thread into an Orange Box discussion.

I just picked up the orange box today and I came home to install it and get some episode 2 on. I don't have steam on my computer so I let it install the version of steam that came on the disc. once it installed it gave an error that it couldn't load Steam.dll. so I pulled out my HL2 episode one disc and installed that version of steam. It installed fine but it can't connect to the steam servers so I still can't install orange box. I have tried to install this on 3 computers already and have gotten the same results. I also tried the latest version on steampowered.com, but it is the same version that is included in the orange box. does anybody have any ideas?

What are your router settings? Maybe those ports are being blocked.

steam has always worked fine for me before, and nothing in my router has changed since the last time I had steam.
EDIT: So I went into my router and reset the settings to defaults and steam is connecting now. I guess my dad might have messed with the settings. Thanks bic, I probably wouldn't have thought about that.

Portal is awsome i tell you.

Don't buy online though, the steam servers are packed.

I picked it up yesterday for 360 after reading all of the high praise The Orange Box was garnering. By the sounds of it I couldn't go wrong.

Haven't had a chance to play it though. Hopefully this weekend. I'm really looking forward to Team Fortress 2!

Yer, because millions are logoning on to a server with a limited bandwidth, figures.

Yay! orange box is amazing, so I am officially renaming this thread as an orange box thread.

Just buy it in a store on a DVD for the same damn price!

And someone who has a spare episode 1 can hook me up! =D

Oh BTW I don't know if this is still going on, but when I picked it up Wednesday (yay launch day!) Circuit City had it on sale for $38. after tax it was $40 and some odd cents. Made a fantastic deal unbelievable. I would give Circuit City a shot if you haven't bought it yet because they might still be running that sale.

THE CAKE IS A LIE

I found an easter egg in the apature science website.

Logon as
cjohnson
tier3

Then type "play portal", it then redirects to youtube. Huh?

Can't imagine where you found that.

Code: Select all

function processInput0()

    var _loc2 = inputer.field.text;

            _loc1 = _loc2 == "LOGON" || _loc2 == "LOGIN" || _loc2 == "USER";
            if (_loc2 == "HELP" || _loc2 == "?")
