    Half-Life 1 Engine Update

    An important Steam update was recently released. The release improves the interaction of Half-Life 1 engine games with Steam in preperation for the new Steam UI.
      Half-Life 1: Engine

    • Updated Half-Life 1 engine's interaction with Steam in preparation for the release of a new Steam client
    In case you don't know the drill by now, restart your Steam clients in order to get this update. Also, if anyone is interested in keeping up with the progress of the new Steam version, be sure and read the 10/10/05 changelist and the 10/11/05 changelist. The public version is tentatively slated to arrive either later tonight or tomorrow before the release of Rag Doll Kung Fu.

    Half-Life 1 Engine Update

    Sorry, this isn't the update that makes your 1.6 look like CS: Source but still play like 1.6. No, this update merely addresses a bug with the friends system wherein certain sent messages could crash the receiver's game.
    • Fixed game exiting when recieving a very large Friend's message
    The update should automatically be downloaded if your Steam client is running. It will be applied after your next restart.

            At least they actually released the patch and didn't get more people angry when the new interface came out.

              So did you hear the Valve won't license 1.6 for tv but will license source so the new directv league is source.

                Because Valve doesn't care about 1.6.



                Is it all that damn shocking?

                    It's far more popular in the competitive scene than source. That explains what we all expected.



                    Starcraft is how old whlie still being insanely popular? Good games are timeless. 1.6 is timeless.

                        No source updates?!



                        Just kidding ^^



                        I can't help but think that Valve has more important things on their mind, and I don't blame them, because those things (The steam client, third party games) make them quite a bit of money.



                        Always good to see that they are ensuring even the little problems with Steam are addressed.

                          It seems pretty dirty to intentionally bury a game. I don't buy EA games (Spore withstanding I suppose) because they remove the online component after a few years.

                            They're not intentionally burying anything though. It's still there and playable, it's just not going to receive updates anymore. If they were burying it, wouldn't it mean they were going to phase it out completely? That's what I imagine when someone says that. Just as HL itself won't receive any updates, nor TFC, nor CZ, etc... It's all old hat.

                              The difference is that 1.6 is still in the public eye due to competitive play, MUCH MORESO than Source. Intstead of capitalizing on that by hosting sponsored events, they're intentionally burying it in order to push their precious Source engine.
