German version uncensored now?

[psycho.mantis]

As the original English version of this game was removed from the index about two months ago and thus can be sold within Steam's legal boundaries and promoted now, I wonder: Will the German versions of all Half-Life games now become uncensored automatically or do I have to buy everything again?
Maybe somebody who has the German version currently installed could check if it's still the cut one or already knows the answer... Would be awesome, thanks in advance!

EDIT: FYI, I have HL1 and its expansions in my inventory and now I have to choose whether to add them to my library or get the whole stuff again and use the German copy otherwise...

Yes, it's uncensored now and to get the uncensored version you have to manually update it to get the patch as it seems the automatic updater is broken.

Awesome, thanks for the info! As I don't have it installed yet, I guess it will install the new version automatically

I said that the automatic updater may or may NOT install the uncensored version and might just install some patches for half-life. You have to click the check for updates button on half-life if that does happen. Also, if you have any questions about the uncensored version just tell me and I'll answer it.

uncensored dlc for hl german do not work T.T

[TurboSonic]

Yeah it does not work unfortunately

Oh man, Blue Shift and Opposing Force are the only things HL that I haven't played yet
I've heard changing the language to English in the Steam options changes it to the uncensored version, is that accurate at least?

ok

Yeah it will work if you change it to English but people who only speak German may have a problem with that since they can't speak/understand english, luckily it looks like you can

[psycho.mantis]

Yeah, no problem with that
As far as I remember, the voice overs weren't dubbed anyway, I just prefer to play the German version if possible and if the quality is okay (I like to imagine it's more likely for publishers to localize future games if they see people are actually using the translations haha)...
