yaaaaayyyyyy steam is now entering manhood

*jumps for joy*

edit: 11:00 am PST can someone tell me what that is eastern?
 
well thats interesting, it says you dont need to download the installer if you have steam installed, which is what I expected, but on the steam forums everyone is talking craze about having to download the installer and stuff.

I think they just didn't update the top of the page. Erik has said that you do need to download the installer.

the steam servers are down, you have nothing for steam to eb connected to, so no, you'll need to start up steam tomorrow after the steam final servers come online.

predictions on what new media (if any), will be available for upload via steam launch?
 
"Steam, updating."
"Fatal error. Failed to connect to any..."

Mine says that same thing.
That's just steam's way of saying: Bitch-Fudge off, I'm getting replaced by a better and newer version. But you still need me to get to that bootie.

you forgot the "hahahaahahah!!!!1 1 4R3 1337 H4}{0RZ J00 B0}{3RZ!!!!1"
 
I just went over to the steampowered forums... holy CRAP those people are confused. And I thought THIS forum was bad. It's a wonder Valve even keeps steampowered/forums running. If the purpose is to provide answers and communication to the community, it's not working. There are so many ignorant spaz-bots posting garbage on that forum you'd have to search for hours to find any information of worth.

Speaking of information-of-worth, here's the e-mail from Alfred (at Valve). To note, it appears that DoD will be on Steam now, w00t!

Timeline:
We will be releasing the dedicated server binaries later today. Tomorrow we will be releasing the client. In a couple of weeks we will make this update mandatory.

What is it:
This release is converting all users to Steam. When you install the client you will need to have a valid HL or CStrike CD-Key. Dedicated servers will need to create accounts but will NOT need to enter a cd-key. At no point will anyone have to enter credit card details. In the future there will be the option to purchase the "Platinum Pack" via Steam if you don't currently own a copy.

This release consists of:
Counter-Strike 1.6, Half-Life, TeamFortress Classic, DMC, Ricochet and Day-of-Defeat 1.0.

What changed:
Linux Dedicated Server
Dedicated Server
Team Fortress Classic
Counter-Strike

Steam Issues:
Q: Can I use Steam with a modem?
A: Yes, steam will work for modem users.

Q: Is WON going away?
A: Yes, once we have completed the rollover we will slowly remove parts of the WON system as they become obsolete.

Q: Has the net code been changed since the beta?
A: No, apart from small bug fixes.

Q: Will my existing 3rd party programs work (i.e Admin Mod, CDeath, ...).
A: In general yes, all existing 3rd party programs can still work under Steam. The individual authors of each program will need to inform their users of any install directory or configuration changes.

Q: Do I need to alter my firewall setup?
A: Steam requires some extra ports to be opened for outgoing access, read this page for details.

Q: What happens to my current banlist?
A: Everyone will be getting assigned a new Steam ID and it will not be possible to convert old banlists.

There are currently no download locations available.

The Steam 1.0 (non-beta) installer will be available at 11:00 am PST on Wednesday, September 10th.
 
/dances!!! :bounce:

I'm excited by this.
 
hate to be the *soon to be flamed dumbass* but does that mean 1.6 is finished and no longer a beta too?
 
1.6 is still a beta, but shortly after the release of steam full, the 3 remaining videos of hl2 will be released!
 
Steam web site and Steam game servers are not the same thing at all.
