Patch Is Out!!! SDK and SURPRISE next week! :)

SFLUFAN · Nov 25, 2004

The changes in this release are directed at reducing the problem some users are experiencing with sound stuttering. The sound stuttering is not indicative of a sound problem, sound stuttering is only a symptom of texture thrashing on your video card or AGP memory. For information on how to reduce texture thrashing visit this link on our support site:

http://steampowered.custhelp.com/cg...php?p_faqid=280

This update will fix sound stuttering that users were experiencing that would last for longer than a few seconds during normal gameplay. This update will also eliminate this same behavior following a quicksave or autosave. There will still be a short pause while the autosave happens, but not the more drawn out stuttering behaivior.

We are still investigating another performance problem on some hardware, which will manifest where the game is getting into a state where performance drops to less than 5 fps and does not recover or crashes.

Next week we will be releasing the Source SDK, along with a surprise for the community.

w00t! Time to check this puppy out

Uberschall · Nov 25, 2004

prolly dod:source

Lobster · Nov 25, 2004

Remember that post claiming a HL2 DM would come shortly after release? it would coincide nicely with the SDk if it was true, think about it!

Mr-Fusion · Nov 25, 2004

SDK ****ing woot!

T.H.C.138 · Nov 25, 2004

now THAT would be sweet if that is the case..

I'm not doubting the sdk or surprise at all, just the surprise being DM..

should be pretty sweet no matter what though

Cole · Nov 25, 2004

Orrr maybeee!! TF2 INFO!! New screenshots and everything

.

nbk · Nov 25, 2004

And the source that said there would be a surprise... was right.

Edcrab · Nov 25, 2004

Aha, better grab the HL2 update ASAP.

Surprise could be anything from a DoD:Source release to something extra for HL2... but don't get your hopes up! It might just be a HD pack... or... something...

UKchaos2 · Nov 25, 2004

dod:s is hardly a 'little surprise' i mean i already payed for the thing.

Its probably a small scale MP game which is open sourced for the benefit of SDK users.

ShadowFox · Nov 25, 2004

Watch it be cs_assault or something boring like that.

f|uke · Nov 25, 2004

Patch did seem to help some, but I still got pauses and sound looping. I played from the very begining, and it paused after barney when breens speech came up again, and one more time as I steped into City 17 and the music started. Bummer.

StardogChampion · Nov 25, 2004

I'm not sure it'll be DoD: Source, since he said "surprise for the community", this means the entire retail community won't even get to play it. Hopefully it's DM.

UKchaos2 · Nov 25, 2004

If its not DM so many people are gonna be dissapointed now (again)

Jesus Lincoln · Nov 25, 2004

Its DM

SFLUFAN · Nov 25, 2004

It'll be the announcement of the first expansion, "The 7 Hours War"

that would be so sweet

UKchaos2 · Nov 25, 2004

I dunno, 1 week its VERY soon to start hyping their next game

RakuraiTenjin · Nov 25, 2004

Whatever it is, even if just a map or something, it's still cool.

Mr-Fusion · Nov 25, 2004

I think it'll be something more tangible than an announcement of something we don't get to play for another year

What that would be i have no idea.

If each expansion is going to be 1 hour shorter than the previous, they can have 8 expansions, totalling 36 hours. Still less than what was promised

GeorgeWLucas · Nov 25, 2004

ArKTisK · Nov 25, 2004

What the Hell? · Nov 25, 2004

So the patch was released? I didn't notice Steam updating anything.

yeah, were exactly is the patch at lol

Well i just saw an update when i turned on steam. one for HL2, the other for TFC, both were SMALL updates, took 40 seconds aprox.

(watched the steam monitor)

this was @ 8:30 pm EST:

This is the PIC

no the patch/sdk/surprise will all be released "next week" I HOPE MONDAY but hey

Read the News on the Steam site, there WAS a Patch today, the SDK and surprise next week.

ArKTisK · Nov 25, 2004

i saw the steam platform update, and thats it

blahblahblah · Nov 25, 2004

It isn't a patch, its a damn insult.

They are telling me to turn down AA. Yeah right, my X800 Pro is not the cause of the problem. They need to actually fix the problem instead of blaming something else.

ArKTisK · Nov 25, 2004

i am an angry man.

but you cant tell, becuase my yelling doesnt translate well with typing, so ill spare you guys the capslock fest

ArKTisK · Nov 25, 2004

to fix this problem they would prolly have to re code half the engine, my theory is bad programming. hell the original half life had this problem, just not to this degree of annoyance

I think they will be releasing a patch, but those are just steps to help out till then I guess.

Toy · Nov 25, 2004

wheres this info from?

commando · Nov 25, 2004

the patch/sdk and surprise is next week...if you read it properly. it says the update mostly focus's on the sound stutters.

they are just saying maybe while you wait if you have a low graphics card and u have AA on then turn it off....maybe
