How long willl the CS:S Beta last?

[Some_God]

I'm thinking one week. The sooner they finish this the faster I get HL2! :frog:

well i think it will be longer then 1 week.
i hope a month or something.

because i want to play it on my own pc im still waiting for my x800xt ;(

i cant even freaking play now atm because i have to play on my brothers pc atm, normally hes only here in the weekends but ofcourse when cs:s beta starts hes here the whole ****ing week aaargh :flame: and i think ive pissed him off or something (hes a lamo sometimes, especially about hiss pc) so i hope i can play at all now FFS nooooooooooooOOoooo

I don't see any reason to take it away. Just continually update it until the release of HL2. I know they said it's a limited beta, but CS is a mod and I don't see any reason why they can't gather information and put out updates at intervals of their choosing.

And everyone else that doesn't have CS:S will get it when HL2 comes out. It's a nice present for buying CS:CZ.

I have a feeling they may actually do something like this. Just keep fixing and adding new maps, etc.

One week!

Milo, Isn't a month a little long... I mean HL2 is PROBABLY going to come out mid-september.

Dreblin, I agree but I doubt Valve will actually do that. :O

 

[Lt. Drebin]

Maybe once they solidify HL2's release date, then we'll see CS:S disappear. That, IMO, makes the most sense.

Generally betas last for a few weeks, but I agree, a month is pushing it. Granted, we don't want it to leave, b/c CS:S is bad ass....but realistically, I think this will last 2 weeks, even though we all would love it to last right up until HL2 release

Damn it ... both of you made me change my mind... DOH.

Looking at all the new bugs I'd say more than a week

 

[Some_God]

What new bugs?

What bugs? I haven't had one problem when playing CS:S. The game runs like a charm.

One reason why I hesitate calling this a beta more than a free tryout. It's highly refined....although it should be refined almost to the point of completion before beta, but betas have a certain feel. CS:S doesn't have that feel...the game feels like 98% done. maybe a few updates.

Anyway...not saying yours doesn't have a few bugs, but I haven't experienced any.

 

[Some_God]

Me neither (I played it at a cafe before all you nubz ).

What bugs?

-Half the people who DL'd it get memory errors and AA errors
-lag
-shadows dont lay on objects right sometimes.
-servers suddenly shutting down and people dropping (goes with the lag)
-If you change the filter setting (trilinear, that setting) all the corpses spawn on top of you when you go back to the game.

Lag issues are because Steam is having some problems.

Thats interesting.

Are you getting all those errors, or is that just a list of stuff people have been experiencing?

I experienced the errors before I found a fix, but it is still a bug even if I can fix it.
