(There's no way the latest version would run on old OS and older hardware. New engine not only requires Steam (only supported on Win10), but also incompatible with XP (and maybe Vista) since game exe drops support for both. Added sys requirements section.)

{{hl2lc|4}} is a playable technology showcase that introduces [[HDR|High Dynamic Range]] lighting to the {{source|4}} engine.
 
The game is available for free to all owners of {{hl2|1}}, and can be only obtained after purchasing {{hl2|name}}. It was originally planned as a section of the [[Highway 17]] chapter of '''Half-Life 2'''.
 
Additionally, a cut down version of '''Half-Life 2: Lost Coast''' is available in the [[Source SDK Base]]s as a non-playable hardware test, labeled SourceTest (or Source Engine Test). This version has a preprogrammed camera following a path that leads the viewer up the mountain. After the sequence completes, the user is presented with a dialogue showing their system performance & framerate and an option to upload them to Valve. This version also lacks the commentary or any user playability whatsoever.
