<div class="IPBDescription">Playing NS with Sierra Half-Life</div>Hey all,
is it possible to play NS with the non steam version of HL, or is Steam necessarily needed?
I tested it but NS keeps crashing.

Thanks for your help!

    3.2 without steam -> impossible without recreating major parts of the code

    Actually it is possible using the old Half-Life 1 WON Client version with the WON2 patches. I managed to play NS 3.2 on the patched HL1 WON2 Client.

    Which version is compatible to the old HL?

    Natural-Selection 1.x and 2.x are officially compatible with the old WON version, but you won't be able to play online with them, because WON is dead. Install Half-Life 1 WON, install the WON2 patch (you can get it on fileplanet.com) and install NS 3.2, then you will be able to play NS 3.2 on the WON2 network. But not on the Steam network, since it will require you to run HL1 and NS 3.2 via Steam.

    I don't want to play online, just on lan.

    Can somebody please tell me how NS 3.2 works with HL 1.1.2?
    I installed the Steamless Half-Life 1.1.1.2 Final patch, but NS crashes all the time after creating a lan game...

    Dont despair, when 3.2 crashes while trying to create a lan game. It always did the same for me, but i was still able to play online.

    Try creating a dedicated server and join it. The dedicated server can also run on the same machine as the client.
