Cheers for that, now all I have to do is go throttle vale for being total asshats in their implementation of steam.

As an server admin it's a nightmare, every ban placed over the several years is null and void so all the muppets out there we've stopped are free again. Also half the admin tools no longer work like HLSW and the Databse with it is now 175,000 wonids without any use.

The very least steam could have done is run WONID alongside Steam ID for a while so that steam IDs could get matched to WONIDs and bans converted

Steam is a bit like communism. Great in theory, totally flawed in practice.

Valve have completely underestimated the load that would be put on the Steam platform by people updating CS 1.6. Not to mention the other problems like the bans, the fact HLSW etc won't now work with CS, the problems Retail CS users are having.

Need I go on? I'm not amused.

problems with retail cs? you don't need half-life in any shape or form installed to play anything on steam...

Retail CS users are finding that it's not recognising their WON ID, so it won't convert to a Steam ID meaning you can't log in.

Steam is crap, it can't handle the demand and is poorly coded.. Why, oh why valve..

tum ti tum... downloaded the 1.0 thing, then it removed my old beta directory.. then started updating. it got to 40% and then i had to go cook a bbq for tea. come back, and its at 28% doing nothing.. cancel it. start again, comes up as 'updating 28%'. minimise it.. look again, just says 'updating' and is doing sweet FA. which tbh isnt at all useful.. i honestly cant see how they are going to be distrubuting hl2 through this... max i get is like 20k/s from their servers which is pitiful for 1mb ADSL.

ah well,

why did they change 1.3? if they had 1.3 with VAC all would be well and good. there too botehred about making it noob friendly instead of listenin to the the problems. Reg is none existant, i look sh** with awp cos of it, and its a useless update so valve can take over the world!!!!!

Mine has been preparing to play cs for a while now.

**Martin** · 13-09-2003, 03:19 PM

gg wp Steam

I've not been able to download from Steam at all. It just crashes my machine.

Try this though - it's Steam bundled with CS 1.6

Plenty of mirrors there.

**Martin** · 13-09-2003, 06:05 PM

lol who made that?

Users or Valve?

**Lowe** · 13-09-2003, 06:08 PM

Valve

i finally managed to play some cs1.6 earlier, but they've changed all the stupid buy menus, which is frigging useless. I now have to workout my buyscript again, and memorise everything... initially i did 'b 1 3' expecting a Deagle. isntead i get a p228. what is the point of changing them, they were fine...

i'll go look on google to see if anyone has made a list of what weapons are what numbers or something.. i tried to buy some ammo and i bought nightvision instead. not useful.

90% of people cant play it, and the other 10% realise its **** and dont want to play it...

edit :: just found http://ss4life.free.fr/SS4Life3/cs16_binds_us.htm seems they made it alot easier to make buyscripts, as you can just write 'mp5' instead of 'buy;wait;menuselect 8;wait... etc'

off to play, and die again.
