So, what's going on with Half-Life 2 now, about six months (I think) after its release?

I haven't played the actual game. I downloaded a free demo from Valve's site some weeks after the game was released. Look nice enough, a train stops at the train station, there's a guy on a video screen. I approach some guards, they are talking amongst themselves about whatever, chit chat... then unexpected errors fly, the screen turns into a violent blend of funky lines and colours, and the whole thing crashes. Great.

I really hate giving my machine a cold reset, so I haven't touched HL2 since. I figured I am not going to pay $50 for something that won't run further than 5 minutes, especially when it is so commonly known that getting refunds for video games is practically impossible. Buyer Beware.

So now I am thinking, maybe there were bugs that Valve was aware of. Maybe there's been some huge SP1 kind of thing released. I don't know. Fill me in, guys.
