Free Steam Games for ATI Radeon Owners

malware · May 30, 2007

Valve has announced that effective immediately, ATI Radeon owners can download a free copy of Half-Life 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch through Steam. The software will automatically confirm the presence of ATI Radeon hardware and offer access to the two games. In related news, Steam will be included with the ATI Catalyst driver and software suit until early 2008 and ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT owners will, upon release, receive Team Fortress 2, Portal, and Half-Life 2: Episode Two through Valve's content delivery application.

UPDATE: I talked to Valve and they confirm that once you activated the free ATI games, you will keep them, even if you swap to an NVIDIA card. Just ask your friends for their ATI card.

Holy shit. Is this worth installing Steam?

Also, I've never played HL2, so are these downloads expansions and require HL2?

Grings · May 30, 2007

definately, hl2 deathmatch is a blast, and ive never had issues with steam

Hmm it worked for me till the part when it says:
Duplicate Registration
This offer has already been activated using a different Steam account

wtf?! I registered my account 2 minutes before this message?

stupid idea...
...what about the possibility of faking the graphics device name
to get the games when u have another graphics unit...would this be possible?
i have the games though, just would be interested.

W1zzard · May 30, 2007

just ask a friend for an ati card

GJSNeptune · May 30, 2007

Fake it? Like flashing the video card's BIOS to convince it's something else? Jedi mind tricks?

Casheti · May 30, 2007

Does this actually work?? Anybody confirm?

I have a radeon.

mandelore · May 30, 2007

how do i go about activating these on steam? i see no option, just purchase?

Casheti · May 30, 2007

I've done it and it works!!

DOM · May 30, 2007

Its downloading as we speak

You go to the Steam link and click GET IT NOW! then make a account after that it checks your system then it ask if you want the games if you have a ATI card

Casheti · May 30, 2007

This is excellent!

Casheti · May 30, 2007

Does it work by graphics card hardware ID 'cos if it does I'll get another one?

mandelore · May 30, 2007

what about if you already have a steam account (3 here actually) dont wanna make a new account

Casheti · May 30, 2007

You register it to an existing one?

bruins004 · May 30, 2007

Both of these come with the HL2 game.
HL: Lost Coast is just 1 level (takes maybe an hour or 2). Pretty much the purpose was to show you lighting effects used by the HL2 engine.

Deathmatch is the online versus mode for HL2.
It is ok, but CS:S blows it away.

mandelore · May 30, 2007

i created a new account, never got asked anything? dont see any option for it?

x-anubis-x · May 30, 2007

woo this works for my radeon 9800se lol!
downloading/installing as we speak

Casheti · May 30, 2007
