So what. you can't play it yet

 

[wartime]

Baby steps are better then no steps.

 

[glHalfLife]

so what time is the game activated throughout the world?

Maybe:

A. At a certain GMT time
B. At 0:00 on the 11/08/04 - ie when you computer time changes to this?

Anyone know?

i hope to see the net spammed with screenshots, ingame with menus/setup/little details, benchmarks and other such stuffff

Whoever did this is a pretty good photoshop artist but they forgot to replace the Icon with the CS Source icon.

 

[charybdis]

This is real guys..

I didn't believe it myself, but it is indeed real.

Just add -applaunch 260 to the end of the target line in your icon properties for steam and then launch steam....

I didn't start the actual preload because I don't wish to be banned from steam because of itchy preloading fingers... but here is what i get when i use that command.

 

[Johan_Tayn]

that works! I wonder.... if It would be ok for me to... hmm.

 

[meninblck]

o its real guys, as i have preloaded it as well! its very very very real! when you double click under cs source beta under coming soon, it says....

When the game is officially released, you'll be able to play it immediately!

I HATE WAITING....the friggin game is on my machine!

 

[Maxi]

Wow that's pretty wierd. Though I don't think that it will work. I pressed preload now and steam crashed.

 

[Xrenity]

This is real guys..

I didn't believe it myself, but it is indeed real.

Omg it realy does work

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Yay for you. Pity none of you can actually use it, unless you happen to be cybercafes.

 

[Chris D]

You all seem to be forgetting the fact that when the game is released it will still only be unlocked on people's accounts that are on Steam's registered cybercafe list.

 

[Chris D]

Also I thought it'd be good to add if Valve considers what you're doing to be a bad thing, they're very likely to make sure your account is blocked from playing it at all during the actual CZ beta test.

 

[Maxey]

Those pics are mine. I have a Cyber Cafe Account and I preloaded the game. Now I'm just waiting to get the game unlocked.

And it's tomorrow!!

 

[B.Calhoun]

Funny how i dont believe that "Lucky@net10" is a real email address.....

 

[Maxey]

Funny how i dont believe that "Lucky@net10" is a real email address.....

It's the way the cyber cafe accounts are done. It can go from ***@***01 to ***@***20 for example.

 

[wartime]

Oh, that makes sense

 

[Johan_Tayn]

I sent an e-mail to gabe asking him if it was alright.

 

[kingthebadger]

if you pre-loaded wud valve ip ban you? or ban ur account :/

 

[un0x]

yes they will.... both ip and account ban

 

[kingthebadger]

bad idea to pre-load then =)

 

[OCybrManO]

I doubt they'll ban you for downloading something you can't even run without them unlocking it.

 

[Pitbul]

yes they will.... both ip and account ban

oh wow so you have an official word? wait whats that?...you dont? oh well then plz...STFU KTXHBYE :stare:

 

[un0x]

just trying to scare you ppl :< not trying to make u mad :|

 

[kingthebadger]

some hax0rs made cz playable without unlocking, im sure some hax0r will come up with a way to play without paying/unlocking/cyber cafe.

 

[Pitbul]

stop using scare tactics, if they are gonna pre-load it then let them. if they are not supposed to them obviously they'll have to face the reprocussions of there actions.

 

[Bicka]

I wonder what Valves stance on this is...the options there to preload just its not conveniently placed.

Do you reckon they could do anything if we did download it?

Edit: Doesn't matter... I took the chance:

'unable to preload because you are not subscribed to it'

 

[Maxey]

I looked at the GCF file and there is no executable file.

 

[thehunter1320]

bleh! you guys are panzys! just ****ing wait!!

 

[thehunter1320]

I looked at the GCF file and there is no executable file.

probably a tatic to keep from unlocking early, they'll probably send the EXE on unlock day

 

[Maxey]

Yep, people learn with the mistakes.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Bullshit, you don't get all the files so they couldn't of made cz playable without the final files. YOU LOSE.

 

[merc]

u guys it is real, lol im so serious some people already have the .gcf file and stuff

-merc

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

u guys it is real, lol im so serious some people already have the .gcf file and stuff

-merc

Yeah we know, seeing as how Cyber Cafe's have been pre-loading since yesturday getting the gcf files....

 

[lePobz]

So you need an ATI voucher to get this preloading? I have CZ and it says i'm 'not subscribed to it' when I click preload.... ;(

Guess i'll have to stop being an idiot, and wait until tomorrow.

 

[WilSnipeForFood]

?

Whats the file you have to put that command into? I'm a little confused

 

[lePobz]

on your steam shortcut, add this to the target box

C:\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 260
