Powered with Steam. ("powered", indeed)
Memed made the effort to send me 2 CDs filled with full Steam caches (thank you so much memed). Now I'm supposed to be able to play Steam on my machine. So I (re)installed the crap, login with my Steam account pm@racc-ai.com, as expected waited for 47 minutes and 20 seconds during the "Updating Steam platform" message (and this time the progress bar went in the right direction: forward. Good point for a start.), then Steam popped up a window to which I gazed with murderer's eyes:
http://racc.bots-united.com/steam-error.png What. Am. I. Supposed. To. Do. With. This. I mean, no matter how hard I try, I CANNOT launch Steam. First it was the CS Steam cache who would never finish downloading (I even let it running ONE NIGHT LONG), then later on it was the "Can't connect to Steam network" error, AND NOW THIS ??? So before I burst in pieces, can any of you guys tell me if by hazard it's not me who did something wrong and optionally what I can do about this ??? Windows XP, dial-up, not AOL, 512Mb RAM, GeForce 4, enough computing power, blah blah blah. <looking for the right smiley> hell, no smiley on this board can even compare to the face I bear right now </looking for the right smiley> |
Re: Powered with Steam. ("powered", indeed)
eh which did you try the full-all-mod installer or the cs_full installer ?
*g* , try the other one :-) for me reinstalling the cs_full (~380mb) worked when steam gave up. (4-5 times since november) usually the cache got inconsistend at update time (wednesday' night of re-installing), sometimes just re-starting steam w/o using it also triggers a "cache ins inconsistend, i will fix it" routine. Or this kicks in after re-install and re-upgrade. yes i like steam, but only when making tea .... |
Re: Powered with Steam. ("powered", indeed)
It was with the full installer (all mods).
Trying the other one. Gotta wait ages again until Steam updates itself. "Steam is hell, Steam is hell, Waiting all the day ! O what fun it is to wait at 56k all day" -- (c) botmeister |

YIPPEEE!!! Reinstalling with the CS only cache WORKED!!
after waiting for almost 2 hours for the update, I could FINALLY run a Steam game on my PC!! It took me AGES, but it WORKED!!! :D :D :D Anyway...... it's just THAT, cs 1.6 ? Nothing really biggy... A floating console, very little graphics improvments, better looking textures but, heck, the feeling of the game is as un-professional as before. I think I even saw bugs that were not in 1.5. :( What is good is the new FAMAS gun, it's instantly become my favourite !! it sounds exactly like in reality, and its burst-mode is deadly accurate!! I wonder why they call it "Clarion 5.56" though ??? ???:( *edit* wTF? now they call the Desert Eagle from the Israeli Military "Night Hawk"??? they changed all the weapon names ???? |

I do like the new guns and the new interface. I absolutely hate the shield. Quote:

Re: Powered with Steam. ("powered", indeed)
Hmmm…..looks like Steam is much more buggy than POD-Bot 2.6 :)

Re: Powered with Steam. ("powered", indeed)
Isn't there a patch somewhere I can download that could fix this ?
I tried editing the titles.txt file but it's inside the Steam cache and there's nothing I can do :( |
Re: Powered with Steam. ("powered", indeed)
finaly PMB went "hot aired" :-)
this name stuff is realy fuck'in, my friends just refer to the numbers in the buy menu, allthough that can change too. what i like it the ability to change options during gameplay, this did not allways work for 1.5 if i remember correct (like mouse sensitivity when my wireless optical goes empty and i have to use the other wireless logitech). |
