{{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.
