    Steam Platform 14

    Ah yes, the lovable people at VALVe had been busy fixing all sorts of bugs with Steam. The newest platform brings about a few changes. Most notably, *DEAD* has made its way back into the scoreboard. I'm not really too sure what to think of this. This release also will increase the stability of Steam in general. For all you *nix admins out there, HLDS is currently floating around in beta, and should be released in the next day or so.[break="changelog"]Changes/Additions:
    • changed scoreboard to display enemies who are dead on the opposite team.

    • added "bot" to the scoreboard for players who are bots on the server.
    Bug Fixes:
    • fixed bug where ping times could be displayed incorrectly for game servers.

    • fixed bug that made server list appear slowly for server browser.

    • fixed in-game fonts not displaying properly when running in 16-bit mode.
    All Games:
    • fixed bug where ping times could be displayed incorrectly for game servers.

    • fixed bug that made server list refresh slowly in server browser.

        Yeah, i liked the dead tags not being there. It brought a bit of suspense to it all, and ultimately stopped a lot of messing about, because you didnt know how many ppl were left.

          looking good as for the dead thing I just use something like roger wilco during a clan match to let my teammate know how many are left.

            The only reason I look at the scoreboard is to remind myself how amazingly good I am. So the *DEAD* tags make no difference.

              Well did they say the official realease or what also im glad the added DEAD tag. I didnt like the fealing of now knowing and everyone i know hated it, but in another sense it made it realer. Keep up good luck with STEAM if their is any.

                its horrible to argue for a change in a game because it makes it more 'realistic' , as nice as it may be to have games that are as realistic as they can be, it will always be a game, and therefore it will always be important to not model it around realism.



                glad they put the *DEAD* back in.

                  yay *DEAD* is back! the game has been out for so long, they shouldn't go changing things like that. Same with the buy menu, and not just adding the new weapons to the end.

                    changing the dead tag defeated the purpose of even having a scoreboard, and it also made no since whatsoever. In TFC or some shit you know how many people are alive at all times, you just look at the number of people on the opposite team. Same with any non respawn game. How should CS be treated differently? You can magically know exactly how and who died and who killed them based on the little thing that pops up at the top right, but you can't have the scoreboard change their tag to dead? It doesn't make any since, even realistically speaking. It was a very stupid move that added nothing to the game, for anyone.



                    It seemed more like a bug then a feature, knowing steam's history i wouldn't be surprised if they just passed it off as a feature because they forgot to add it in/too lazy when re doing the scoreboard/gui. Just kidding, but good riddance.

                      They should have fixed the "+attack bug", where +attack fails to work sometimes when you click it.

                        I agreee with Mikej, and if theyre going for realism, there are many other things they should work on, not the dead tag, it makes no since...the dead tag was more of a convienience, not an anti-realism feature...when i know that there is only one enemy left as opposed to 12, my game play will be much different...u? KEEP THE *DEAD* tag

                          Ah yes!...CS sure don't make a lot of "since" nowadays.



                          I'm really sorry...That was a cheap flame!

                          I'm drunk cause it's the FĂȘte St-jean over here.



                          Ya really wanna increase the drama?...Then get rid of the radar, The Kill advert and the Score board.
