Any probs playing new update offline?

It freezes for me... I then need to task to desktop and back, at which point I'll see a windows error dialog with a strange message. I dismiss this dialog about 5 or 6 times and only then will the server create succesfully. Most odd! Anyone else have this?

Worked fine for me when I got the update then had to turn off the inet for a whlie

So offline mode and bots and such definetely work.

Once when i tried a map it took a while longer to load.

When i added a bot it said stuff like 'calculating walkable areas' and a bunch of other stuff. It was doing stuff though, and it took a while (on my 1.5ghz) but finished eventually.


Try leaving it for about 5 mins and see if any progress is made.

works for me...i gotta say...this is GREAT. until they get VAC running, I might just stay offline and play with bots all the time. They are pretty good. I was surprised by how adaptive they are.

You can tell that they aren't coded with "knowledge" of the maps...they have a more general set of tools, so they play just as well on custom maps as they do on valve-sanctioned ones. Very, very cool.

It's nice to play against bots where things like flashbangs and smoke grenades actually WORK against the bots.

There are so many losers online being jerks and cheating or just being uncool in general that it is refreshing to work with a team...of bots.

I mean, you just "say" "b" to your team and they acknowledge you and head for objective b!

I didn't know they would do it, I just typed it out of habit the first time I had the bomb...i always type y b enter.
