just install pod bot 2.5, if you already have pod bot, then you need to reinstall it everytime you upgrade. Also, you need to download new waypoints or create your own.
Just to add, I haven't heard any ballpark figure as to when the official release will be, I keep hearing soon. Soon to me is in 2 hours.Comment

Have you actually heard from anyone that they got Podbots 2.5 working? I think you actually need to get Podbots 2.6 which aren't finished yet. Thats just what I think so I might be wrong. I usually am.

What's with the people saying "its all the media sites fault for leaking the file, Valve will regret giving them previews"...well thats not right...if you think about it the media sites saved Valve from total and complete humiliation. If they had officially released it and the bandwidth problem had happenned it would have been much worse than just a few thousand people experiencing the lag. The media sites liek CSCentral might have screwed up but thanks to them the bandwidth problem isnt near as huge as it would have been.Comment

letting off steam
Recently an article appeared on HL.org entitled "To Steam or not to Steam?" which looked at the failure that was the Steam release. The problem, LuftWaffle says in his rebuttal hosted here called "Letting Off Steam", is that Steam never was released!The community, in their blind idiocy, decides that since everyone seems to have this beta version, it is the official version. Way too many people judge what Steam will be based on a version of it that they aren't even supposed to have. A petition is even written to have CS 1.6 released as a regular patch like it used to be. Of course, this would defeat the whole idea of "progress" but, surely it must be better than Steam! Right...
I don't agree with a lot of what LuftWaffle says, but it's still an interesting viewpoint.Comment

letting off steam
Looks like we need another Steam 2.0 BETA topic for you guys to rant in.
First of all, it looks like Art of War Central will be providing content servers for Steam, as to help with the load. Who knows when the servers will go up, but it's a good sign. You can find a full press release over on AoWC's site.
No word on when the Steam 2.0 BETA will be officially released. Steam will allow you to download the BETA version of CS 1.6, which I have previewed here. VALVe did screw up pretty big by having so little bandwidth for so many users (story), but that's the past and now we have to wait for Steam to be fixed. Also, the chances of a cs16.exe download are zero, since this is the BETA version and not the final version.
In case you're wondering why CS-Nation and many other sites haven't posted the Steam 2.0 BETA, let me give you the inside scoop.
Right now, VALVe has a heart symbol drawn on some marker whiteboard. Inside of the heart is the proper noun "CS-Nation," and other sites like "FileShack." Outside of the heart would be sites like "Xxon's CS site downlaod steam hear !" And you have to feel sorry for sites outside of the poorly-drawn heart. It's a sad tale, because they won't get any loving from VALVe! Ahh, shucks: looks like another few months of the copy and paste routine.
Well, it's quite possible that I made that all up. The point is, we're not posting Steam until VALVe asks us to. Why? A few reasons:- the program doesn't work 90% of the time, so there isn't a huge point in downloading it. a lot of players are patient (read: social experiment failures) and have waited hours to play the game for a bit. cs 1.6 is actually pretty cool so i don't blame them, but for the other people it's really not fun waiting for everything to download and then getting an error, etc.
- we don't want to sever any ties with valve by acting like idiots. the point is, if we were posting steam's latest beta left and right a preview like this might never happen for cs 1.7 and this page would be filled with baseless, unconfirmed rumors for cs 1.7 rather than facts. of course, we weren't threatened with anything, but why even risk it?
New comment rules: anyone who posts a link to download the Steam 2.0 BETA will be banned. Also, if you even mention Steam in a news topic not related to CS 1.6 you will be banned too. I'm glad our comments system is so active recently, but please keep it civil.
Have fun arguing.Comment
