Source Engine Update Released

[Thortok2000]

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" has got to be the Worst Saying Ever.



The true phrase should go like this:



"If it's broke, fix it. If it ain't broke, improve it."



Too many moronic lazy idiots in the world that have no concept of 'room for improvement'.

Alfred already addressed this on the HLDS mailing list. They are aware of it, and already have a remedy in place for it.

What is this mailing list and why don't you do CSNation news entries about it?

Now for server admins to get a clue about the newly released commands so they can be utilised huh ? :)



Oh, and with regards to hacking. I know people like Joolz did so much to destroy the community, but given a 2nd chance, they do things that are actually beneficial to the community. Taking the said 'Joolz' he helped out at the multiplay lans not to long ago and is helping out with other lans across the country. People can change, just depends on the caliber of person that they are.

Most hackers are 12 year old kids, who hate getting pwned, so they download what they think is "zOMGiEs leEt myg0t h4c|<0rxz 1.6," get VAC-Banned, and cry about it, though...

"Fixed physics objects.



Fixed the bug where it looks like someone is throwing a nade, but they actually have their gun drawn.



Fixed shadows clipping through walls.



Fixed being able to "spot" enemies on the radar through smokes.



Fixed ducking being delayed by 100ms.



Scrapped DWP and apologized."



That'd be pretty nice.

"Scrapped DWP and apologized."



that is possibly the best one ever and the one i can never see happening.

[Thortok2000]

*eyeroll* If they ever got DWP to work, it'd be awesome. They should not scrap it, they just need to fix it.



But yeah, enough source engine updates, we'd like CS:S updates. Or at least updates on the updates...when are they coming, etc.

DWP is based on a flawed algorithm. It clearly wasn't even beta tested enough as it should have been, I could have told you that based on that algorithm the deagle would extend to $16,000 - The fact that valve never saw this borders on sheer stupidity. Now, given the way the market works and the sheer amount of servers now giving $16000 cash rather than turning DWP off, it is highly unlikely that we will see the deagle come back down in price. ever. This has to be the worst idea ever brought to the CS franchise, and frankly Valve have jeapordised their claim in the FPS market of the future.



No one from Valve communicates with the fanbase, certainly through the Steampowered forums and presumably not by e-mail either.



There is a massive amount of ignorance on the part of Valve to address the issues that genuinely do need to be addressed.



- Clarification and remediation of the netcode workings.

- Clarification of materials and their properties (they are not reacting as intended, either through map design or engine flaws).

- The defuse bug (defuse kit on bomb = no defuse for you........)

- Shadows - Can see through doors, also they are inconsitent between spectator / client.

- The P.O.V. bug.

- Sound bugs (1.6 sound is more accurate).

- The way multiplayer props work (ruins gameplay)

- The general sponging of bullets and longer times it takes to kill someone (in comparison to 1.6 and CS:CZ)

- The half-time crash bug.

- Crosshair scaling at lower resolutions.

- Source TV



I keep listing these, I've listed them for over a year now and still my calls and the calls of countless others go unanswered.



The game feels broken........ The game is broken....... It's time to stop denying it.

Actually most people who define themself as a hacker don't care about getting banned and won't cry about it (and also have many steam accounts). The people who do cry are generally those who saw someone hack that got away with it, and decided to hack too.



A lot of hackers hack simply for fun because the community's reaction is so childish (yes hacking is childish too) and it's somewhat entertaining.



It probably wouldn't be fun if everyone ignored it and left the server or something.

Even if it worked, it'd still be stupid, as it'd add nothing to the game and be totally unnecessary and unwanted.

zOMG! VC Sniper sighting!

I can't believe he found something positive to say.
