Half-Life 2 RTX
Discussion
Haven't seen a thread on this yet so here goes - https://youtu.be/aM_gzfAMdNs?si=WQN2X3jwBV-CUXZP
Early days yet so not much detail but what is in that video suggests this goes beyond slapping a couple of new lighting effects into an old game and calling it ray-traced. Might be a good reason to play through HL2 again

When it was released I was not a huge gamer, mainly driving games. Myt friend however was a proper gamer, and I met him coming back from town with the box in his hand!
That was about 2 in the afternoon, 2 am we were still playing it, he even let me play as he was having RSI!
It was and still is the best thing I have ever played, especially when you consider when it came out, nothing has matched that sound, that setting, that atmosphere.

Anyone tried to install on the Steamdeck?
Got the email alert saying this is now available but when I search the store on Steamdeck I can't see it?
I've got HL2 installed but no updates show as available, last one on the game settings page is February 11th.
Can you log in to the website on a PC via a browser, then search for the RTX version, add it to your library then look on your Steamdeck to see if it's there?Got the email alert saying this is now available but when I search the store on Steamdeck I can't see it?

Just downloading the RTX (80GB) available, HL2 last night was just 9GB.
It now downloading 35GB, I wonder if the 80GB I initially saw was just the text for the complete RTX HL2 and the demo with Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt is 35GB.
I've just downloaded it : 124GB Steam tells me it downloaded. And yet, the installed files are 41GB.It now downloading 35GB, I wonder if the 80GB I initially saw was just the text for the complete RTX HL2 and the demo with Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt is 35GB.

FWIW I've just installed it on the Steam Deck and it says 41GB though the download size initially said 80GB .

ah, memories........
Trying to remember where to go...
Is it just a few modules from the game or should you start at the SP campaign? I seem to have a couple of options neither of which make any sense (but its fun throwing gass bottles and radiators around with Ray Tracing turned on)Trying to remember where to go...
