980X, UD7. ATI 5970, 6GB RAM, C300,256GB SSD/X25 160GB SSD. Can someone help. Thanks. Litude05-15-2010, 03:21 AMTry using compatibility mode. This is a case of having too much RAM which makes the game unable to properly detect it. MANFACE05-15-2010, 07:40 AMDone it thanks. What a blast from the past. Really enjoyed it. vBulletin v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2016, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
Valve for the original Half-Life video game. The first was Half-Life: Day One and contained the first fifth of the full game, and was only included with certain video cards of the time. Half-Life: Uplink, half life day one on the other hand, was a standalone demo set in the Half-Life universe, and half life 1 demo download contained levels and a storyline not found in the full title. Sadly, for whatever reason, Valve seems to have forgotten about Half-Life:
Half Life Uplink Mod
Uplink. It is not mentioned anywhere on Valve's web site and is the only Valve title not offered in the "Valve Complete Pack" on Steam. One possible explanation is confusion with Uplink, an unrelated title http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1269886.html by Introversion Software that was offered through Steam early in Steam's existence, but this is unlikely. Technical issues would not prevent it from being offered on Steam, as SteamLink, a third party project, integrates Half-Life: Uplink into Steam as a Half-Life mod. While Half-Life: Uplink is a rather short demo, it is still a unique story, and is sad to fade into obscurity.

Disclaimer: SteamLink is packaged/maintained by the maintainer of this web site, so there's probably some bias there. The original Half-Life: Uplink installer is still available to download. This installer does not require Steam or a Half-Life installation, but does tend to have compatibility difficulties with modern versions of Windows. Story/Walkthrough Before the game properly starts, captions appear on-screen stating that you are playing the character of Gordon Freeman. Little other information on Gordon is alluded to, save for the fact that Gordon has a Ph.D. The captions then go on to say that he is located within the Lambda Reactor Complex, Black Mesa Facility. The time is stated as being 48 hours after the 'containment failure', and that his status is 'evaluation in progress' -- likely a reference to his recruitment by the mysteri

(did not bother to contact support again) The problem seems to lie with the Data Execution Prevention. I have DEP enabled for all applications and services (the 2nd option). To fix this problem, simply add half life uplink "HL.EXE" and "Half-Life Launcher" to the exceptions and check them.

Did you recently add more RAM? Good luck!

We've been playing 8-10 player half life 1 mods here on our laptops. Great LAN game, since it runs fine on any modern laptop. Gotta play version 1.5 though, since 1.6 requires steam. #5 TallBill, Jun 11, 2007 Schadenfroh Elite Member Joined: Mar 8, 2003 Messages: 38,418 Likes Received: 1 I have reinstalled several times, still get the error.
