Another Fabulous Steam Update

[HowlinMadMurphy]

They've got to fix the shield glitch that allows you to buy a primary and keep the shield, as well as use the primary while being protected by the invisible shield. It's really annoying and an egregious glitch. Maybe they'll fix it when they release the update with the DS "lost missions" (hopefully this week).

[..Apathy..]

Hm .. now i wonder why it sez "game not available'

[jagPanzer]

[rant]Game is unavailable. Please try again later[/rant]

For the umpteenth time, I hope so... For Steam's sake @@

"Game is unavailable. Please try again later"

every time that happened to me i looked in the Task manager and HL.exe was still running

close that and try again

It was a Steam update, not a CS update.

I don't know what it is but my ping jumped from an average 30-50 on a lot of servers, to barely being able to get 90-100 on any servers (any = 5-10, out of all cs servers) about a month ago. Kinda crap, kinda steam, you learn to live with it.



Haven't had this game unavailable problem you all speak of, wonder what's causing that...

I'm aware of that. I made the comment for a couple of reasons. This is a thread about updates, and I thought I'd mention something that needs to be included in a future update. Cliffe reads these comments sometimes, and I haven't posted about the glitch in the Steam forums because I refuse to debase myself by joining that bunch of half-wits. Plus it's a CS/CZ glitch, and this is CS-Nation after all.



EDIT: I avoid the Steampowered forums like the ebola virus, so I don't know how much Hank posts there. The steam forums are overwhelmingly full of idiots, but my comment wasn't a dig at Hank, as I posted before #22 did. Just to clarify.

What about all the other bugs in Steam? How about the unreliability in Friends? Don't include a program that barely works correctly.



HankPym is a steampowered forum whore!

OMG THIS UPDATE BROKE MY HAX, ROLL THE UPDATE BACK NOW PLZ K THX <end sad mode>

This steam update, it corrected the crazy lag on servers, right?



" *Another Steam / CS update came out the other day. Not much new except for the fact that a lot of servers (including the official NIPPER maps server) experience total lock-ups (bigtime lag for all the players) every 30-50 seconds. So I spent some time browsing CS support forums and found that a lot of people have this problem. There's a bit of conflicting information everywhere like someone will say "its metamod" then someone else will say "no its not metamod cause my server doesn't have that and my server lags too". But there was one thing common in all the complaints about lag I read. Every server with this problem lags on all maps except for de_dust and de_dust2. Now you're probably thinking "well yeah that's because those are really simple maps that use very little server CPU power" but I say BULLSHIT! Why doesn't VALVey just come out and admit it: they are on an evil quest to rid the world of all maps that aren't horribly boring! That's the only real reason that the dust maps would be the only playable maps now. VALVe hates custom maps! DAMN YOU VALVEY! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!"

Hrrmm.. actually, I checked the monitor during the update and it said it was updating the halflife engine. So, I think maybe there was a fix or two for HL/CS.
