As per usual, to receive the update, please restart your Steam client.
 
I Let everyone know even Chris_D, Now i got to go play CS:S. :)
 
You Dont have CS:S? Do you not have cz or your computer not good enough ? Also i cant wait to see the new weapons and sounds updates soo cool!! :)
 
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

*goes to play*
 
nade exploit is still around.
usp reloads twice
and my fps is cut in half......AGAIN. But I won't steer this thread off-topic with my problems.
 
i've updated and played, yet it still says only 95% complete...another update soon, maybe?
 
I say the update they gave us its awesome i love it even though it made more problems for me!! :)
 
bullet holes are now on barrels and those strange looking wagons and on buckets. looks good.
 
Know what would be cool? If Valve focuses less on a beta game available to a limited number of people, and focused more on that game that hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for and will make Valve millions.

Yeah right, I'm living in a dreamworld.

Who said they're not? They need to work on these bugs. I don't think they want a game that isn't playable after someone buys it... And this goes for all Source Mods, since they do run on the same engine.
 
The CS:S beta was to test both stress-test Steam and beta the Source engine. The Steam part of that beta test was quite obviously a success (along with the HL2 preload), but they're not done yet with the Source engine test, which they're probably using as a method to beta test HL2 without having to worry about someone leaking the game, as they don't really need to have a wide beta for models, sounds, maps, and AI, because none of those are dependant on the individual computer, only the game engine that renders, plays, shows, or otherwise uses those features. When they finish beta testing CS:S, they'll probably release HL2.

They always were for me.
 
# Reduced effectiveness of flashbangs behind the player

Weee, i hated these uberflashs :|
 
go away smash
dont put your avatar up as "moderator" when you are a common peasant here.

you are implying power that doesnt exist.
 
For a second there I thought this update broke my cs:s. But after staring at a blank screen for more than a full minute (after firing up cs:s), it suddenly opened a dialogbox saying something about extracting sound from cache. One more full minute later it started extracting those sound files, and I finally could play.

I didn't notice any difference tbh.

So, when's hl2 coming out? (me runs away)
 
You know, I'm fairly sure there's no need to restart Steam to get the update. Why on earth do they say there is?
 
Ah the correct thread!

me said:
Building sound cache....

Then it cycled through such things as c17 (city 17), barnicle, prison, diffrent guns etc etc

So this patch contained hl2 audio too?


appended @ 10:41 am on 9/1/04

I love the new arms! :D OMG!

Also they didnt mention theyd added little boxes for buy zone, spotting a friend etc.

Fixed glows showing through map geometry
whats that?

\O/ , Skywalking exploit :LOL: , still havnt encountered that, guess I never will

but seriously the bugs are obviously not all subjective to everyone, they are just cleaning the engine out, making it perfect for all of the certain types of hardware,

which eventually will all have copy's of a clean bug free HL2 running on them :D .
 
can i ask why you guys are playing the beta version of cs:s anyway??? i wouldnt mind playing it just to see how it was, more importantly how hl2 may run, but i cant as its only for 'cafe and cs:z only'. uhhh, cmon valve, thats just a bit uncalled for.

my cs:z key is 'already in use' when i havent even used it once online!! i sent off pictures etc about 3 weeks ago and still no reply!!!

anyway, stop playing betas as it just ruins it for the rest of us :E why not just wait for a perfect game at the end.

sure it allows valve to fix bugs and get feed back, but surely any bugs can be solved with patches??!! cmon valve stop dicking around with betas that only a select few can play, and do something useful like finishing hl2 and getting it shipped!!!!! WE'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH FFS!!!
 
ok ok bring it on i dont care what any of you think, you simply cant take the truth.

everyone is entitled to an opinion anyway.
 
auto help seems to be stuck "on" in this new patch. not good. and still no old school buy menus makes me sad.
 
my FPS is just gone now, the bulletholes look sucky...

wtf? It's crap, sorry valve :(

You do realize valve has a completely differnet team and floor for Counter-strike from what I've heard, so their work on CS:S in no way affects the progress on HL2.

Unless you're suggesting they pull the whole CS team up to work on HL2? I understand your frustration though, i too would like to play HL2.
 
If you're irritated that you don't have CSS, that's why you don't have it. Valve wanted minimal testers who were bigots (not saying you are, this is in general) and the best way of gauging that is limiting it to CZ owners. Neither did they want the million or so CS players to all be playing as they would be swamped with feedback and miss the important bug reports.

it's the truth. You know it. I know it. He knows it. So :sniper:
 
Ah, good to hear they fixed that frustrating bug where you could walk outside the map. Thanks!

Also, I got pretty irritated that you got blended by the flashbangs even if you had you back against the flashbang when it "exploded". Good work. :)
 
a little bit of frame drop and the bullet holes are way too small

hmmm
