[MultiVaC]

Yep, just saw this. If only I was quicker!

 

[Tork]

coolness

 

[Ownzed]

Woah, mines already at 94%? :O

 

[Xac493]

I just started my preloads, any way to check speed and whatnot... I'm at 0.2% total

 

[Dr.breen]

It's only a little one, but very promising!

 

[Platinum]

Is It The Final Preload Or What???? Gosh!!!

 

[Petabyte]

shweet. Not like I care though. I use the store.

 

[L337_Assasain]

Is the 5th the final preload? what's in it?

 

[Daiceman9]

Woah, mines already at 94%? :O

It also adds in what you have already preloaded. it means the update is about 100mb

Edit: GCF's updating
base source shared.gcf
counter-strike source shared content.gcf
counter-strike source base content.gcf

 

[Hazar]

sweet!

(still not done restarting the preload though...)

 

[omni]

Is It The Final Preload Or What???? Gosh!!!

Definitely not the last.

 

[epmode]

Is the 5th the final preload?

doubtful. it only has maps for counterstrike: source. getting ready for next week, i suppose.

 

[L337_Assasain]

We're getting close people...i hope

 

[Platinum]

ughghgh i just want it to come stop with the preloads valve ... END IT ALL hehehe

 

[Dr.breen]

I think this is the source code! have a look in the folder!

 

[BrownTown]

hmmm, well there certainly are more then 1 map, but it dont look like there are as many as were standard in 1.6

Then again, i havent played CS for awhile, but is 9 maps all tat CS come standard with?

 

[epmode]

i think i remember reading that cs: source will only ship with 6 maps, with more on the way. granted, that was over a month ago.

 

[guise]

its only been 2 days since the last preload!

the contractions are getting closer!

its coming, i can feel it!

 

[L337_Assasain]

Well it seems that the only thing left to preload are the execute files.

 

[L337_Assasain]

Well it seems that the only thing left to preload are the execute files.

 

[L337_Assasain]

lol, accidentaly posted the same thing twice...
Anyway, if Cs:s is complete, doesn't it mean that HL2 is very close

 

[Adrien C]

Meh, CS, the dawnfall of mature gaming.

 

[BrownTown]

we still dont have the HL2 maps, or most of the HL1 maps, and there will be alot of those. Of course we prolly wont get them till HL2 is gold

 

[shapeshifter]

its only been 2 days since the last preload!

the contractions are getting closer!

its coming, i can feel it!

almost sounds like your giving birth :O

 

[FoxDie]

almost sounds like your giving birth :O

I think that was the point

 

[Xcellere]

My GCF went from 889 to 939. Only a 50 MB increase to house all the CS:S maps?

 

[Wraithen]

I just started my preloads, any way to check speed and whatnot... I'm at 0.2% total

This is the second time I said this tonight... click on the steam icon, then go to monitor. From there you can monitor your download speed. :E

I didn't just learn this tonight when I started the pre-load, honest. But on an unrelated note, 52% yay!

EDIT: just a thought, but can they selectively decompress/unlock areas of the pre-load? Based on the fact that only part of it will be opened up to us next week (CS:S)

 

[guise]

hmmm odd, the update is downloading for me, but where it usually shows the download status in the monitor window, it just says "scanning..." with nothing in the status or amount acquired columns

 

[poseyjmac]

cs_havana
cs_italy
cs_office
de_aztec
de_cbble
de_chateau
de_dust
de_dust2
de_piranesi

mmm office.

 

[mannyfresh027]

yeah, it did that for me last preload too.

 

[BrownTown]

there were 9 maps uploaded, but not all the nesceccarry files for CS have been uploaded so far, so more maps may come soon as VAVLE finalizes them.

 

[guise]

ne1 know if inferno is getting a makeover aswell?

 

[hero]

wow im overjoyed with happiness

 

[Viperidae]

Guise mine says Scanning also, but the file is getting bigger, so I think it's just a bug.

No inferno? Waaaaah!!!

 

[poseyjmac]

there were 9 maps uploaded, but not all the nesceccarry files for CS have been uploaded so far, so more maps may come soon as VAVLE finalizes them.

no thats all of them

This will allow users to download the Counter-Strike: Source maps in encrypted form.

notice it didn't say 'the majority' like other preloads. this is it for a while
