New 1.6 update, most hated?
 

I don't play 1.6, but I've heard that they f-ed up the crosshair, could somebody explain or show me a pic. I heard that there's a bigger delay to activate the 'scope' and something's different about the crosshair.

Re: New 1.6 update, most hated?
 

I never liked camping snipers so the update is sort of good for me :D
but i know how they feel... if they were going to slow down teh scope at least not that much.. I tried it and it was just TOO slow..
everything else is fine except for the solid radar.. if they were going to give us a solid radar due to the complaints they should've made it look better :(
the crosshair is fine.. only people that need it to be able to aim complain about it... with enough practice you won't need the crosshair as small as it was inorder to aim..

no the cross hair suxs bad....i now have massive cross hairs for all my guns..fast switching with snipers ... won't let u zoom untill u click zoom 3 times...it bnow takes longer for pistols crosshair to shrink when crouched and
the worst thing is u can get headshots easy ....worst update since for 1.6

edit:

thank god i haven't updated my client yet :) ..play offline :D

Re: New 1.6 update, most hated?
 

see it's these kind of people that need to learn how to aim by actually interpreting whats happening in game instead of keeping their eyes attached to a little cross in the middle of the screen..
a good way to practice is tape a piece of paper to just cover the crosshair and try playing...
you'll get really good.

or u could turn crosshair off?

i just realised i left steam online and it updated my games :'(

edit:

You installed Steam, that's what. :( I have never seen a touchier software - it still interacts with my old CS 1.5, btw: If 1.5 crashed and I start Steam afterwards, => CRASH. And if Steam crashed and I forget to reboot before firing up CS 1.5 => CRASH. The only difference is that after a reboot due to a crash 1.5 will start properly, whereas Steam seems to break down permanently after 90% of all crashes and needs to be completely reinstalled afterwards. At least for me it was the only method that helped.
It's unbelievable... *sigh*

oh you poor guys, i had only minor trouble with steam, so to say for me benefit and PAIN are about equal, for a 15€ game no bad comments from me...
(i delete clientreg...blob and custuom.hpk after a steam crash, sometimes mp.dll too, this fixes it almost instantly)

cheers

You guys should get rid of Windows 95/98/Me and install XP first... it's not the parangon of robustness but it's MUCH more stable. And there's a fundamental difference: the memory model and the hardware resources are this time handled entirely by the OS. Thus if one app crashes, nothing else goes wrong. Instead of having several applications calling and relaying to each other in a chain like in the Win9x multitasking style, here it's the OS which dispatches the priorities and manages the task switching. One single application crashing doesn't fuckup the entire system.

SF, we talked about it on IRC... man, do something, your computer is just unusable as of yet. Crashing 20 times a day, I mean what's the point of even turning it on ???

Re: New 1.6 update, most hated?
 

i know i know...i tried magic as a kid and gave that up too :)

ok it worked for me finally with this routine:
1. erase mp.dll
2. call mp.dll from liblist, join game, change maps, exit.
3. call metamod from liblist with NO plugins, join game, change maps, exit.
4 call metamod with pod only, and it was finally working.

whew, now back to hoping i can get XP somehow......what does it cost anyway?

Re: New 1.6 update, most hated?
 

Hmmm... yes... clientreg.blob... I heard that somewhere... gotta try next time. Custom.hpk as well, huh? NICE hints - hopefully they work for me... next crash, I'll try. (i.e. in about two weeks, I s'pose... :D )
Steam Updates are always dangerous for me, but once I got it running, it's actually ok. The last crash was my bad, anyway.

@PMB: For WinXP, I gotta find a way to get my dirty fingers on a pro version that doesn't cost more bucks than Bill Gates deserves kicks up his famous *ss, 'cuz there's no way I'm gonna install that crippled home version. And from what I have heard, it takes some time and effort to reduce the "X.P. phone home" phenomenon... Plus, I don't like the looks. And at least I'm quite virus / trojan / worm-safe with my Neanderthal Windows - it's so pathetic many worms don't even bother attacking it... maybe pity? :D
Nah, the proggie that crashes most is Steam, and thanks to Onno I know a few more tricks to fix it now... and as long as you remember to reboot as soon as something's wrong, it's actually quite possible to live in the stone age.

Re: New 1.6 update, most hated?
 

ya ereasing the clientregistry.blob will automatically make steam "try" and update...

but for the most part ive heard tons of different solutions... ( loging in then out... connecting to servers... copy and paste :) )

just keep trying i know it seems like steam doesn't wanna work but it will eventfully function ( and add more to the ever growing list of HEAD ACHES )
