CS: Source Preloading

[CSN NewsBot]

A recent email to Valve's Erik Johnson from a member at Halflife2.net sheds some light on why the latest CS: Source update was so massive in size.

We're preloadeding the rest of CS Source.

Contained within the latest update were texture files for a number of other maps as well as files dealing with waypoints and hostages.

So, delete it, tell it not to update, and stop complaining about preloads that will benefit everyone and their mothers when it comes time to release the game.

not really, since most people plan on buying the boxed copy anyways.

If they upload everything to there computer now all they have to do is now is either buy it from steam an type the CD-key in or buy the boxed version an type the CD-key in now if you do not have steam or Internet you can just install everything off the CD to your computer and use the CD-key =d...

Screw preloading... installation is half the fun of a new game.
