Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

apparently my one only works for 6-8hrs and then it crashes :'(


sorry SF i guess the latest update doesn't fix any problems....

if u do reinstall again...then goto the steam website and dl the latest steaminstall.exe (the 600kb one not the cache files ones )

and use that to update ur games

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

happend to me too but i downloaded the installer an installed again and it worked.

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

yeah its running now.......:)

all things clear....i keep forgetting.as with most i think.....that steam runs in the background and still is working.....

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

yeah i've been running steam for 9hrs straight ..i had to re dl the pltform and hl engine ..then just placed back the old gcf files for cs n stuff

but it works ;)

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

ok next thing is wrong suddenly without warning

in cs none of my menus show up on the screen.

no buy menu
no podbot menue
no waypoint menus

none of the buttons work at all, meaning i cant even join a team to get in any map.

they work in ricochet and halflife and cz but not CS1.6

and i need to make f***in demos!

i erased the platform.gcf, then the hl.gcf, then the hl-engine.gcf, then at last the counterstrike.gcf..... and still no menus

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

perhaps you want to erase your c:\program files\steam\steamapps\[your@email.com]\counter-strike folder instead of those gcf files :)

and the biggest problem I've encountered in Steam is: I just unable to connect to steam server from time to time

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

arggg any one lagging bad since the last update i have..on a server i normally get 60-70 ping i get 150-250 wtf i hate steam!

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

any yes my internet connection speed is set correctly

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

they admit it's a bug on the Steam news site...
will probably be fixed very soon

Re: Steaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
 

Oh fuck it, I'll only be content if they fix the one giant son-of-a-bug once and for all, this worthless piece of shit Steam itself! I'm just reinstalling it completely because after a sudden crash at startup, it caused my PC to hang when the OS booted, and after several attempts to get it back running, all I got was more crashes - the last one a nice combination of crashes in steam.exe, user.exe and hl.exe at the same time.
That's the seventh reinstall in four fucking months (while my Steam-free 1.5 install runs and runs and runs and runs), and with every day I have this piece of shit on my HD, I wish I could beat all those motherfucking Valve idiots up so badly that even their own mothers (who should never have born them in the first place) won't recognize their idiot offspring. Did you read the news? They said they were going to make 1.5 "available" (read: mostly unavailable) via Steam - ha! All I can say is UP YOURS, suckers!
They can shove that pile of rubbish they programmed so deep up their ass that their friggin' eyeballs start popping out; I've had it with this shit! >:(

Excuse my language, but I'm really, really REALLY pissed off big time.

------------------
[edit]
Ok, I'm no longer pissed off. In fact, the solution was dead simple. I uninstalled Steam, permanently deleted all Steam-related files, took a hammer, hacked my Steam install CD to pieces, burnt the pieces, and threw 'em away. That's what I should have done in the first place. I can still continue my waypointing stuff with 1.5, and who needs online games of CS 1.6 ? Not me.
