Greetings and thank you for the opportunity to pose this question. I installed Metastasis but it does not show up in the list of games within Steam. I am unable to launch from Steam or from the desktop (which is apparently not recommended anyway). I Have: - a valid (paid for) install of HL2 EP1. - followed the install and troubleshooting steps found here. - searched this forum and the internet, to the best of my abilities, and found no reference to my particular trouble. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. JJ |

This is really odd. Tried restarting Steam and ran Ep1 at least once? Try and add to the Ep1 launch options: -game "[PATH_TO_STEAM]/SteamApps/SourceMods/MetaStasis/", then Ep1 should turn into Metastasis when launched. |

Thanks for the suggestions, sortie, but so far no improvement. I also have the mods ""Get a Life, Strider, Awakening and Week Day Warrior" installed. Any chance that they might cause conflicts? I have un-installed and removed all traces of Metastasis before re-installing. Unless someone has any further ideas I guess the next step is to uninstall the other mods, then HL2, then Steam and see if a fresh install will help. Here's hoping someone saves the day before I get radical. Thanks again for any help people can offer. JJ |

Mods are designed not to affect eachother, unless they do some crazy shit I've been developing for my mod. If MINERVA: Metastasis doesn't turn up in the games list, the install is probably corrupt. I'd redownload MINERVA and then reinstall it. Ensure the Metastasis folder is located inside Steam/SteamApps/SourceMods/, and a gameinfo.txt is there. Try and post it here? Once it is installed, run Ep1. Then try and go to Start->Run and enter the following, edited to match your installation. "[Path To Steam]\Steam\SteamApps\[Steam Account Name]\half-life 2 episode one\hl2.exe" -game "[Path To Steam]\steam\SteamApps\SourceMods\Metastasis" This should override any Steam Lists and such. If it doesn't work, then your install is either missing, corrupted, or you entered the wrong path. |

Or the md5 hasj of the installer you're using? (use and point it at your metastasis_patched.exe). You should have the following hash: 05CD8D5D134E53939997201CD8D7AFF7 If not then download again. |
