wow thats awesome that they did that, im thinking bout sending in my old HL box and asking for some sigs, maybe wait ill i get the HL2 box too, and get em both done at the same time.....so nerdy
Halo is a great FPS for a console, and a medicore one for PC. If only they optimized it (IT F**KING NEEDS IT!) to run well on a PC, id give it a 85 (out of 100). But since it lags (fps lag i mean) to all hell and back on a athlon xp 1800, ti 4200 , 512ddr, etc,etc, i would only give it a 70...
nVIDIA did it!
The same company questioned for skewing 3DMark scores, realeasing Doom3 beta (for gfx testing purposes they had this beta) having very poor performing flagship cards running HL2 compared to ATIs, and having to play catch up to ATI's new XTs (bundled with HL2).
THIS IS PURELY...
This might have caused the delay because Valves computers were being messed with beginning (or observed on) 9/11/03 and things were copied 9/22/03 (if my memory serves me correct). I still think Steam not having enough bandwith is way HL2 was delayed. But this could only have made matters...
I think this falls under a Federal Offense. Unless the person happens to be a minor, he is probably pretty FUCTED! The FBI will most likely get in on this.
My 2 cents.
crapo, you beat me in the stating that you were beaten, thus beating me, thus we are even. We shall meet again.
edit: crap sorry for double post, ehhhh this thread is over anyway
delete your ClientRegistry.blob in your Steam main folder. It will fix the #steamroot menu glitch. It will cause Steam to DL a very very small update (that file) and everything will be right as rain.
Yeh the forums are amazing. We got the world-class Valve Info Only thread. The site is neat and clean, but lacking a lot of info. This is where you get hardcore news, not a summary of what is HL2. PS PlanetHalfLife ....going down the tubes...sadly
Ok, I would delete it , if I had it. I do not have it. I will not DL it. I will open up good ole HL1 SDK and pretend that its the HL2 source ;-)
no seriously, screw it, I dont want to be apart of the problem
What a terrible thing.
Please dont flame me...but...
Is it illegal to have the source code to Source on your HD?
I believe it is illegal to DL it, share it, transfer it, but to "have" it on your HD simply for educational or curosity pruposes...I am not sure.
Of course, one would have to get...
haha its real, they are selling dozens of em on Ebay.
:-P
great work, great work!
Edit: Wow 2-3 hrs for a render, no idea things like this took so long. Thanks for putting so much time into something so cool for us.
Friendly Helpful Crits: the one "flaw" I see is whats the deal...
*note the huge difference (8 fold) of bit to byte conversions
Current Steam bandwith available (rounded up) is 1500mbps
1500/8 = 187.5 MBs
avg acceptable DL speed is 100KBs (or 0.1 MBs , 10 sec per MB)
Thus, 187.5MBs / 0.1 MBs = 1875
1875 is the amount of users the bandwith can handle...
Hows bout Oct 13th , Columbus Day, lots of kids get off from school that day. And kids buy games. And its only 2 weeks delay, wich is prob enough time to add the languages, stress test steam, fix bugs, etc.
Oct 31st, Halloween, screw candy and costumes, buy HL2
Then theres Nov 19th...
