They underestimated the amount of demand. They are working 24/7 to "fix it" which probably means adding a shitload of content servers.
You have to remember this is a lot different than HDTV or something... Valve has to go to companies and say "We want to use a ton of your bandwith for our...
oh come on... even if you visited the forum ONCE in the past month you would have seen a thread about this already :| PHL sucks and they have already addressed the issue.
I fiddled around with skins and my gf made one and they work fine. I'm sure someone will make a steam-skins site like winamp or something soon.. heh :P
First of all, your processor is meaningless unless you are doing some type of intense image processing. Your CPU is idle much more than it is working. Gateway and Dell act like it's the most important thing.
But that's not the point. I don't know if you noticed or not.. but Steam is an online...
lol what an idoit this guy is.
Rossell doesn't pass the IQ test required to play HL2. It will only make the community better.
He's stuck in rumors and spectulation that happened a month ago.. god.
lol yea :P
I thought it was going to be a game like checkers or whatever, but I say otherwise because its an icon which denotes a server type. Plus those other little board games aren't exactly smooth enough to play a real-time game. My gf and I play Chess and I can see on her screen it...
Look in:
C:\Program Files\Steam\skins\Grey\servers
There are two files:
icon_robotron.tga
icon_robotron_column.tga
Notice, this is in the folder for server types- not minigames. So it's possible people will be able to run Robotron servers in the future? lol thats awesome :)
If you...
dont post retailer's release dates.. maybe if suddenly every retailer switched to september 30th then it would mean something.. but right now it is complete rubbish
lol asd you are REAL informed aren't you?
They developed for no particular card. When they found out nvidia performed lousy they spent tons of hours trying to fix it. If nvidia didn't suck, they wouldn't have had to do that.
Even on a logical level your argument is retarded. More than half...
Valve already spent WAY too much time trying to make HL2 work well for NVidia. They shouldn't even be required to do that. NVidia shouldn't suck so much ass.
And what the hell does XBox have to do with anything? They will probably have gearbox or some other company worry about porting HL2 to...
JESUS CHRIST alb1221
YOU POST WAY TOO MUCH AND YOU ARE A COMPLETE DUMBASS. GO AWAY. GET A LIFE. FOR ONE THAT SITS ON THE COMPUTER SO MUCH I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A CLUE ABOUT SOMETHING COMPUTER RELATED BUT YOU DONT. HOW DEPRESSING.
Everything on my Steam works perfectly.
I advise going to the Games menu and going to the Properties of each game. Then select "Always keep this game up to date". Once they are all set like that, Steam should update itself like crazy. You might wanna watch on the Monitor window. Go do stuff...
<Vash63> so, Erik, are the servers ready for the huge amount of people that are going to be attacking them in an hour?
<Dante> Vash63 - Things are definately going to get a bit slow. The best advice from me is to have 1.5 installed so you convert most of it over.
This is EricJ from #steam-hangout:
<Dante> Steam will be released at midnight PDT (45 minutes).
...
<Dante> Given how late it is and the hours we've been working, I think I do in fact have PMS.
...
By the way, that would make it a 3am EST release time, midnight PST, 8am GMT.
edit...
no IRC channel is official for release times, im sorry to say. They are official TECH SUPPORT channels.
Also the dude says he talked to someone from Valve that he has on his ICQ list... :/
