sounds like the ripent didn't work when updating. Did you say yes to everything when installing the beta pack?

if not I suggest doing that.

Check the date on the BSP's, and be sure the betapack if pointing to the proper MSC folder. If you manually moved Steam, or copied it from another computer, your Steam registry will be corrupt and the self-installer will not be able to find the MSC folder proper. You'll have to point it manually and, preferably, reinstall Steam (as this also causes other problems).

Yeeah, but shouldn't be needed, if you can point it to the proper folder. If you do it the way you are suggesting, you'll also have to run the msc_map_updates.bat file manually, in the msc/maps folder.

Go to the msc/maps folder and double click on msc_map_updates.bat

The installer will do this for you, if you tell it to do the map updates.

Which is why we have the self-installer. ;)

Where is the self-installer pointing?

It should be something like:

C:\program files\Steam\SteamApps\DIZZY\half-life\msc

But it varies wildly with the type of steam install and your account name.

See also the: Find Steam batch file.
