| Under XP it may be necessary, if you are working with user privileges, to start CS with admin privileges (or use [[.tools:runas_spc]]).

| There may be problems when trying to run CS 1.5 on Windows 7 x64 (I don't know about the 32 bit version, but it might as well work). You will get an error message saying that there is not enough memory for CS and a negative value for free memory. You can easily solve the problem by running the game in XP SP 3 compatibility mode. To do this, go to ''Properties'' of the ''cstrike.exe'' (in the CS directory) and select the tab ''Compatibility''. Then select the entry ''Windows XP (Service Pack 3)'' in the menu ''Run program in compatibility mode for:''. That should be enough. If there are still problems, e.g. if you run CS as user, CS needs admin rights. In this case you also have to check the box ''Run program as administrator''. With the former solution CS asks for the administrator access data at every start. The same works also with the shortcut in the start menu, if you prefer to use it. | There may be problems when trying to run CS 1.5 on Windows 7 x64 (I don't know about the 32 bit version, but it might as well work).

| Apparently the same problem as under Win 7 also exists under Win 10, only that the solution looks/is slightly different: Once again it is the XP compatibility mode, SP2 is enough. But on top you need to use "disable fullscreen optimizations". | Apparently the same problem as under Win 7 also exists under Win 10, only that the solution looks/is slightly different: Once again it is the XP compatibility mode, SP2 is enough.

| In CS under ''Play CS'' -> ''LAN Game'' -> ''Create Game'' -> Select Map -> ''OK''. Also here an possibly existing mapcycle is run after the first map. And also this server is not accessible from the internet. But you have to be present on the server the whole time. That means, if the person who set it up is fed up and leaves, the server is gone. | In CS under ''Play CS'' -> ''LAN Game'' -> ''Create Game'' -> Select Map -> ''OK''.

| A nice tool, where you enter the server you want to play on and then just click on ''Connect'' (saves time, especially if you are kicked off your Dedicated on the LAN or if you want to change the internet servers quickly). If you want to play CS on the internet, you should install [[.game_tech:hlsw]] and import the server list. This is a list of German CS 1.5 servers. HLSW is advantageous because you can browse the servers without having started CS already. You can also see who is already playing on the server, which map is being played, what ping the server has, etc. You start the game by double-clicking on the server. But before you can start the game you have to tell the program where the CS installation is. This works as follows: **Settings** -> **Settings** -> tab **My Games** -> double click on **HalfLife (WON)** -> **Browse** -> select ''cstrike.exe'' (or the ''hl.exe'' for the HL-Mod version). There is also a server list in the [[#Downloads]] which is updated from time to time. By the way, it can also be used for several other games, among others [[star_trek_-_voyager_elite_force|EF]], [[Medal of Honor - Allied Assault|MOHAA]], [[Unreal Tournament 2004|UT2004]], and [[Call of Duty|CoD]]. | A nice tool, where you enter the server you want to play on and then just click on ''Connect'' (saves time, especially if you are kicked off your Dedicated on the LAN or if you want to change the internet servers quickly).

| With this program you can export the locally stored server list from the WON2 network of Counter-Strike Retail 1.5 and Half-Life v64/1.1.1.0 to a HLSW server list.

It contains the [[http://www.freebasic.net/|FreeBasic]] source code and precompiled ''*.exe'' and the Linux binary. | With this program you can export the locally stored server list from the WON2 network of Counter-Strike Retail 1.5 and Half-Life v64/1.1.1.0 to a HLSW server list.

| In order to play CS 1.5 via the Internet list, you need to get your hands dirty. If you would simply install CS 1.5 via Steam, you would be automatically upgraded to CS 1.6, so you can forget about this method. So you have to install CS 1.5 [[#Installation|as described above]]. Since the game servers used to be listed and searched via [[World Opponent Network|WON]], CS 1.5 will ask for the currently active servers on the WON server when playing on the Internet. Since the WON servers have not been running for a long time, CS is getting nowhere. But now there is the Steamless CS Project, which tries to keep CS playable without Steam. Among other things, there is also a [[http://v5.steamlessproject.nl/index.php?page=won2|Replacement for the WON Servers]], the so-called WON2 servers.

| As you can already see from the above address, in a possible firewall or the router NAT you also have to forward the port 27015 (UDP) if you want to create a CS server. In general, this also applies to LAN servers that can be created from CS. However, you cannot create Internet servers with pure CS itself, these are //only// accessible from the LAN, but can of course also be blocked by desktop firewalls. For an internet server you need your own dedicated server, which is designed for this. In principle CS would also be playable via [[.network_terms:ipx]], but there is no good reason why IPX should be preferred to TCP. The WON servers do not exist, but there are privately operated replacement servers. How to use them, see section [[#Internet Automatically]]. Alternatively, for the Half-Life Mod version, you can use the [[Half-Life]] Install update 1.1.1.2. This will allow you to join on servers running version 1.1.1.1 or newer. The Half-Life Patch 1.1.1.2 does not help you with the retail version for newer servers. If you try to connect to these servers, CS Retail will simply crash. So it is better to use the mod version for such servers. | As you can already see from the above address, in a possible firewall or the router NAT you also have to forward the port 27015 ([[..:network_terms:UDP]]) if you want to create a CS server.
