May be old news, sorry if it is. http://www.steampowered.com/status.html Notice how the top servers are numbered up to 10 and then the ones which never fill, who are named after ISP's are named from 26 onwards. I saw somone say that they thought the isp named ones only work for people...

Now that the bandwidth problem seems to be subsiding and players are getting games working (I know some of you still have problems) I thought I'd just post a couple of thoughts. Steam is actually a good piece of software and I quite like CS 1.6. However I do have a couple of gripes. The...

If your steam isn't working for hl or cs just set the game options to keep the game up to date and then leave it doing nothing for about 12 hours if the bandwidth is all gone. Then when it hasn't tried to update for a long time run cs or hl etc from the games window in steam and it should...

lol I would buy the 9800 pro if i cared that much about how the game looks, I'm more interested in playing it. 800x600 with 2 x AA on dx8 graphics will suit me down to the ground thanks very much.

"Have you seen the benchmarks??? How can I explain this to you without having anyone call me a fanboy... nevermind I can't, not on these forums." I'm not gonna call you a fanboy but go to the anandtech benchmark and ignore the nvidia fx stats and look at the gf4 stats, cosidering it was...

every mention of a dealy :-) Kat must be getting lots of hits... I meant delay. Sorry

"If it's already gone gold, why don't they just tell us so we all can shut the hell up about release dates? I think Valve has already created enough suspense." <synical> Free publicity, every mention of a dealy gets thousands of hits on websites, people like my brother who detest fps games...

Multiplayer details have not been released. Apparently you can play single player without interner connection but once you do hook it up to the net to gegt updates etc you will then need an internet connection to play single player. I reckon that may change in the future though because there...

There was a modified version of the blaster worm doing the rounds yesterday coupled with steam and it being a friday which are notorious for work web browsing of flash games etc I'm not surprised it seems sluggish. But it's gonna be localised.

"DX 9 capable cards dish out more fps you git, that's the difference." The cards do tend to give more fps due to more recent processors but not necassarily. DX9 has very little to do with fps, it has to do with what it the card is acapable of putting in those frames. The processing power of the...

That's probably not the best screen shot to show off the better features of dx9. The soft shadows and the pixel shader (ps2) is what people are looking at dx9 for. However dx 8 cards like geforce 3 and 4 cards can do pixel shaders (ps1 though) albiet at a lower standard. I bought my gf4 card...

"I'm roughly 87% sure that Valve will wait until the day that stores are allowed to sell the game " I'm roughly 94.65% sure you made that up

"Whats it for?" see one of the 5000 other threads about it. It might help if you moved the giant rock above your house out the way first. ;-)

Your connection is not currently the limiting factor the current speed issues are due to half the people on the internet all trying to download steam and hl and cs at once. give it a day or two to calm down and it will run well. To work perfectly for hl2 release worldwide they are going to...

I don't think there is a hacking attemp at all, the popularity of the file is DOSing the server all by it's self. cs1.6 beta launch day anyone?

http://www.politicsforum.org/ Those of you who wish to discuss this without risk of causing offence to people who came here to discuss a game might want to try that link. I have nothing against this discussion really but it's a bit tactless to have this discussion on this board in a thread...

I know that some people are trying to make valid and informed points in this thread but it will be hijacked by small minded prats. I don't think this is the time or the place for this discussion. If there's an admin around to delete this thread I'd highly recommend it.

Unless the gun is asymetrical then the left and right hand model should be interchangable but to be honest source and hl2 are that far ahead of the old engine I'm expecting a single model which will be viewed correctly from whereever it is on the screen. Not sure if it's possible to cull the...

I should imagine it will be something along the lines of 3dmark or other benchamarking software that will run a series of scenarios through involving gfx and sound on your system, and have some physics test on there and come up with a range of scores for parts of your system and then give you a...
