DOD:Source preloading??!?!

[Rog]

Erm well I went to test cs:s graphics on my mums computer downstairs and i thought oh crap it'll download it all again. So I went to the monitor to see how fast it was coming along and i noticed this....

 

[YellowPeril]

i noticed this as well when i was downloading css onto my other computer last night. strange...

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Have you got a new GCF file?

 

[Rog]

Hmmm thats strange I haven't. Reckon it could just be a bug?

 

[Edge]

Hrm... I have nothing

I was never much of a CS Player.. although I am loving CS:S but I was a huge fan of DoD. I am awaiting it's release bigtime!

 

[Rog]

yeah I prefer dod to cs. Thats why I loved it when i saw that happening. Charlie in source would be amazing. But anyway, has anyone else had this? I went to properties and it's a 65mb download and looking at the gcfs it looks like it could be the source shared content one. Anyone know what that does? could it be dod:s in disguise?

 

[Burn]

Maybe its just downloading all the files that are not changing on the first release, like..well, everything. :S

 

[Neutrino]

Ya, I believe everyone had this happen when the downloaded the full version of CS:S.

 

[Zento]

Hey look what I just found in my steam

 

[Mr-Fusion]

How big is Gabe Newell Source?

 

[Zento]

About 5 gigs

 

[thescotster19]

Hey! Wait a second, Gabe Newell source?
There's something fishy going on here!

 

[Rog]

lol, but I didn't fake my shot

 

[Ecthe|ioN]

Hehehe. Gabe Newell Source.. Great photoshop skills and sense of humour I liked that post.

On-topic: I noticed someone on mIRC saying the same thing. I haven't noticed any preload of DOD:S but I haven't been looking at the monitor everytime there has been any downloading either. It's strange though. I didn't think that they were anywhere near completion on DOD:S.

 

[Varsity]

You don't have to download it all again. Just copy the gcf files from one computer to another,

 

[Zento]

Then you'll like this exclusive screeny from it

If you ask me, they went overboard with the shinyness this time.

Nice................... ummm................... so?

 

[Kirkburn]

Yes, DoD: Source is preloading. If you got the silver or gold steam packages, you get it. Did you not read the press release / news?
Anyway, it's not as if we can play it yet (and before someone asks, no, it's not being released until HL2 as far as we know)

 

[kiwii]

DoD source Sux

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

I think it is just downloading the icons(+stuff) for the coming soon option in Steam...if you check the update history under DoD:s and HL:s it says something like

"added coming soon"

 

[Letters]

DoD source Sux

What the Hell? Why did you post that? Next time you get the bright idea to do something similar, don't. It's off-topic and stupid. Oh, but you added the stupid winking smiley at the end, so it's okay.


And, yeah, I thought it was pretty cool how it was preloading some of Day of Defeat Source, but I don't see a .gcf file for it or anything...

 

[clarky003]

hehe, Gabe Newell source, cant wait to play that game

head of vivendi clones vs the Gabe clones.

This game is the DEVIL.

It's evil I tell ya, boycott or suffer eternal torment and pain in the depths of hell.

I am looking forward to DoD:S. I like DoD but DoD with physics sounds yummy :smoking: .... imagine throwing a grenade in a german bunker on the beach level (dog??) and seeing them fly out of it ragdoll style! .... i have had that happen to me with the normal HL1 physics but HL2 ragdoll deaths ... ahhhhhhhhh :naughty:

 

[Mujuro]

Sorry for such an idiotic question, but how can I access the monitor window?

 

[Zyth]

Right-click on Tray icon

 

[Mujuro]

Thanks...w00t, downloading CS:S now!
