I guess this is good and bad

 

[[[LuCkY]]]

I don't recall Valve saying gold tonight :upstare:

 

[Homie]

Wow this is awesome,hey Chris_D will this improve smoother gameplay also on all graphics card 9600 xt?

 

[ShadowFox]

Who knows.. this could be the version they sent to Vivendi on the 15th.

 

[rkef]

Is there any well to see the size of the update? My calculations put it at 75MB +- 40MB (not very confident in the figures I used!)

 

[Homie]

Well its at 43% for me its going to be a while must be a big file!!!

 

[Johan_Tayn]

it makes the formerly 480MB or so CS:S 830MBs! LARGE update!

 

[Homie]

This update is 430 mb are you sure, wow? :O

 

[tvgm2]

Shouldn't that be NVidia instead of ATI 5900, 5950 and 6800?

 

[Hazar]

Wow this is awesome,hey Chris_D will this improve smoother gameplay also on all graphics card 9600 xt?

Hopefully it'll improve performance on ALL cards.

 

[Hallucinogen]

Nice list, altho I hoped for a new map or something

 

[JPack]

Yup, the update is huge! :O

The update started at 37% for me.

Steam now says the game's disk usage is 889 MB.

Anyone remember what it was before the update?

 

[Revisedsoul]

ummm those arnt ati cards

 

[Hallucinogen]

Yup, the update is huge! :O

448MB before, 889 after, I was done updating within about 5 minutes, I assume Valve got OC3 or something.

 

[JPack]

Thanks.

 

[rkef]

Even if it really was that large, those figures are well within my projected margin of error... wait... oh no... *resonance cascade*.

I hate it when that happens .

EDIT: the data is probably compressed, don't forget.

 

[Wesisapie]

sounds good.

 

[JPack]

Source engine build = 2145

 

[Hallucinogen]

Source engine build = 2145

What was the previous version ?

 

[ne0_shiny]

[Wesisapie]

[Hallucinogen]

Source version 2145.

 

[Hallucinogen]

man this update is huge

Chump change on my 10mbit cable, was done 100% after 5 minutes :thumbs:

 

[JPack]

What was the previous version ?

I can't remember. I do however, recall that the one before that was 2130. First release was 2110.

 

[henrym]

What was the previous version ?

"version" in the console says build 2132...

 

[Hallucinogen]

Sweet, means some engine updates.

 

[Wesisapie]

great so now just go gold and we will all be happy
it better come out before december because im going overseas for like 2 months and i want to play it before then

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

I'm sure Valve will make an extra-special effort on your behalf.

 

[NeoNight]

"Improved DX7 graphics code path performance by up to 225%. "

what the heck.... now thats a performance boost!

 

[Wesisapie]

you really think so? wow thanks a lot valve

 

[UnkY]

Nice nice nice some bugs are out ! wiiiiiiii

 

[Chris D]

I apologise for the ATI typo there.

Valve tricked me ;( I copy and pasted the news post as soon as it came through and they must have made the typo. I obviously didn't realise it was a typo and left it, but Valve changed it.

Jeez, if they're not trying to reveal me as a community spy, they're trying to make me look incompetent!

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

They don't have to try very hard!

 

[sharp]

Wow big update but 400mb wtf?

you sure they didn't put an extra cached level in it?

 

[Chris D]

How did I know that was coming?

 

[Gunner]

They don't have to try very hard!

Hehe good one

 

[bxstreetlife]

well it seems that things are on their way ...the straight line to the final product that we're all waiting for , stay optimistic i'm sure we'll get some infos in short time

ps: sorry for my chineese english and don't moke i'd like to see you speak french

 

[^Ben]

Hrmmm so if this is the new source engine build.

Reports coming out of valve have stated that the shadow glitch is gone. Any word on this?
