wtf are you talking about? I didnt break anything you dolt, everything was fine before the new patch, I go to load steam and it didnt load and i get errors, Im not the only 1 this has happened to, read around and you will see.
 
so tell me those who have had a chance to play it, is the 'improved' magnum enough to make up for the loss of the pistol bug?
 
im hoping it still does a one-shot kill, but only in the centre of the torso and head, not in arms legs etc

That was pretty low. He didn't develope the patch.

Try asking at the Steam forums tombombman. Not that you're going to get flamed any less, however, someone might be more prone to help you.
 
Does this mean i can play hl2 without the cd in the drive, or is the fix for some other error people had?

Yup, just tried it, it doesn't ask for the CD anymore. I can finally take the CD out of the drive and put the box away. :D
 
Is it just me or are the maps a lot brighter now?

Perhaps they should add rapid fire as the pistol's secondary mode, as in HLDM.
 
spot on!!

With the no-cd I finally have a perfect install of HL2 :] Nice one Valve!

*points and laughs


this fixed tons for me, thanks alot :cheers:
 
YAY! NO CD MAKE ME HAPPY!

Now I can finally do something....:D
 
No CD is great, but the damn game still freezes/kicks on some autosaves. Just a second ago it did it and even Steam produced an error and had to shut down. :|
 
thank god for ridding that uberfast pistol. that pissed me off to no end. At first I thought It was just lag, and a bunch of shots at me were catching up to realtime or whatever, but it was assholes already manipulating flaws in the game.

yay!!
this makes me a happy camper :)
 
wow, i email Gabe askin if there's any plans for a NoCD patch and it comes.....so next must the a proper fix for the sound stuttering! ;)

*crosses fingers
 
ohhh noes...no more pistol whippin noobs and 20 kill magnum sprees....oh well at least now it gives everyone fair advantage...yay now i can actually have fun;)
 
Switching to the physcannon is now instantaneous

I think that's one of the most substantial changes. Expect to see people die from flying objects far less, when switching to the gravity gun to catch objects comes down to reaction speed.
 
Toned down 357 damage

The 1st thing EVER in the history of valve that i disliked. The noobs have won!
 
I really applaud how Valve is handling HL2DM support by fixing known glitches so rapidly, and I guess you can't really blame them for not having enough resources to work on CS:S and HL2DM at the same time, but I really wonder if Valve cares or not on the status of CS:S.

CS:S can really make or break HL2 in terms of popularity if they can just fix the simple yet disruptive bugs in the game. I really hope the issue is simply lack of employees, and that Valve is only focusing on 1 thing at a time.

Here's to hope! :cheers:
 
I love some of these changes. Quick draw for the grav gun is incredibly useful. Now all we have to fix is the bizarre weapon autoswitch priority. I'm tired of accidentally picking up someone's (less powerful/appropriate) weapon. Especially if its ammo is spent and I have to reload it. In the middle of a firefight.

But that's for later. I could be happy as things stand.
 
Yhanks Valve, especially for the no CD, less 357 damage and RPG guide fix
