Steam Client Update Released

[Evil Timmy]

What I found funny was Valve's likely embarassment about CZ piracy. Initially, you could simply copy it to /SteamApps/ your@email.com/ half-life/ czero and it worked fine, for both single and multiplayer. After about two months with it in that state, Valve silently patched it, and a workaround was discovered about five minutes later, involving a special shortcut. That was fixed in this last update, and so far there's no way around it, but for such an obvious thing to go unpatched for so long seems rather silly on Valve's part. Yet again proving the robustness and security of the Steam platform...

YEAH THE ak DEFINITELY FEELS MORE POWERFUL. (OOPS CAPS, BAH DONT CARE ITS THE SAME WORDS)

Steam still locks up on me. At the 72% status bar.

fix the round timer. no one can see it. both server and client were updated and several players reported not being able to see the round timer. also the round till ends before the bomb blows-up if you plant it with 5 sec. left on the round timer: i thought that was changed so the round would last until the bomb exploded or was defused?

tibi08 you have got to be the most intelligent person to use sarcastic remarks on CS-Nation. Screw everyone else for not being able to tell your sarcasm from just ONE SOLITARY SENTENCE. That only works in life or if you do it very carefully online.

What? The ak is the same as usual!

[B!yAkO]

yay another update... can't wait till cs-source though (im sure that's gonna be different from this one ^_^)

Hey! So did I!

Puts life in a whole new perspective after you've had an experience where you've thought you to yourself: "Hey... wait a moment. That's my bone I see.

Given that the same 'joke' has been made for the last 10+ steam updates, it hardly takes intelligence to work it out...



But thanks for the advice

The same thing happens when you can see the bone after getting you finger charred or getting your leg sliced open and seeing the bone. Fun times, fun times.

I think it's fairly clear that the dude was being sarcastic.

Go back to your Steampowered forums!

Wait, wait, wait, wait, so was that a virus? I have no idea what you're saying in the second paragraph, Nighthawk.

yeah, unfortunatly he was very cryptic.. using his ninja like speaking abilities

Hahaha, that whole thing cracked me up. :) Part of me wonders if Rogue Tactics is still unsure if it's a virus, lol. Let's just pray he doesn't have a server, so it doesn't matter either way. :)

What are you talking about? You haven't noticed the difference? Every update so far has changed the AK's power and recoil, even when the updates are for DoD or Steam. After all, I know I'm absolutely consistent, so any change in the number of kills I get each round is simply due to VALVe changing the AK's power. It's all part of VALVe's secret master plan. I'd tell you more, but it's a secret, after all...

Oh, they change the AK every update, haven't you learned that?



^One solitary sentence.
