Half-Life 2 Thread of Release
Here is your Half-Life 2 thread for the night. The game is being unlocked on Steam for
everyone who purchased retail as well as via Steam at midnight PST. That would be 2am CST
which is what Shacknews follows or 3am EST (full list). If I didnt mention your
time zone then that probably means you arent getting Half-Life 2. Sorry, come back
tomorrow.
Oh, once the game is available NO SPOILERS UNLESS YOU USE THE SPOILER TAG BUCKO!

"Map Version is 0, expecting 19"
Try this to see if it works:
1. Go into your \Steam\SteamApps folder.
2. Rename the file called sourcemodels.gcf to something else.
3. Relaunch the game.
This is going to require a redownload of this file, but if you want to get playing tonight it's probably the best path. There are a couple of people now that were in this situation that were fixed this way.
As soon as we possible we'll release a fix for this that will not require this workaround.
Please let me know if this does or does not fix this specific problem for you. Just shoot me an e-mail at erik@valvesoftware.com. If this does fix it, it would be useful to get copies of a couple of the renamed (bad) cache files.
