    They should use Akamai's servers, those suckers managed to pump out a constant top speed even in the middle of the rush to download the Matrix Reloaded trailer. And this cache just aint gonna work, I can already imagine how much HD fragmentation it could cause if it has to load 100's of MB of data everytime you play a game.

    Yeah. Let's cut valve a wee bit of slack. They're by far the nicest developers around, aren't they?

    Valve is full of idiots. They tell us we need all this ram, HD space, and bandwidth to run steam but then they can't even provide the f***ing content because they didn't anticipate this many people using it. They are just flat out stupid.

    Is anyone else's steam just sitting there saying "Preparing to play game" when they try to join? Once it said it was downloading content, but it just sits there.

    RAH! The beta worked fine for me.

    Can someone tell me where abouts it asks you for your cdkey so it can turn it into a steam id? I've just about finished d/l the cs update on steam and it still hasnt asked yet.

    Thanks

AND NOW I CANT EVEN PLAY IT?! WHAT THE **** ARE THEY THINKING. How the hell could they screw over the entire dialup HL community, so people could INSTANT MESSAGE EACHOTHER AND PLAY CHECKERS.

    Edit: I dialup on both my isps initially at 26k, and that drops down a bit. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    this is everything I fear. I have basically exactly your system, Ness. It would be illegal for them to change our system requirements after we bought the game, right? At least they'd have to give us our money back...? Not that I want anything other than to be able to play like I've played for 5 years or so...

    I can see you having sympathy for them since you do this stuff for a living, MonsE, but it's not kosher to do this to loyal players who simply don't have the systems to play HL with Steam, never mind HL2. This will be more of a HL killer than HL2 because some of us can't or will not spend $2k on a new computer just to play one new game. People stay with HL half because of the mods and community, and half because of the system requirements. If I had a faster computer, there's some UT2k3 mods I'd be spending more time on... deathball, anyone?

    A 1 GHz system with 512 MB RAM and dual-40 GB hard drives will cost you around ~600-800 CANADIAN. Not very expensive, and the Steam requirements are WAY below that they /actually/ are.

    Shortly after typing this, I will be grabbing a large pair of scissors, a box of matches, and then running over to the ValvE Corporation Building. I will then sit down outside the building, then set myself on fire. Then I will start to cut my fingers off one by one.

    I shall protest <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    Or you know, I could just grab a few knives and then go on a melee rampage in that building before I get gunned down by cops or something. Yea, that would work too.

    Or maybe light the **** house of fire...that's fun too. Or you know, make him shower in bleach and pipe cleaner till he melts and dies a painful death. Then I could parade and donce around the smudge of crap that was like, a person once.
    ...
    ...
    Or they could just not make Steam a system like this. Yea, bring back WON. That would keep a minor out of jail and save you from a world of pain and explaining...<!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    Pfft, as if. If they don't do anything about this, they might as well force every employee of Valve to commit suicide in the seppuku ritual by disembowment. A fix will come out...better damn straight be tommorrow. I've gone a long nuff while without gaming already. And I can't get transfered to the Q3 community, no. No way. Fix or remove...now.

    Note though, why fix it if it ain't broke? The old system of like walking to a game store to buy games, and then like using WON worked fine. Steam doesn't really present that many useful functions besides sucking up my bandwidth like a pedophile.

    OK. Guys. I already posted earlier in this thread, no, i've still not got Steam to work. But i have a statement to all us disgruntled gamers that can't get Steam working for love nor money.

    Give it time, i've decided to just play on WON servers for a week or so, let the servers calm down, let VALVe get a bug fix or two out, just chill out. As it stands, you'll still be able to play NS, don't panic. Time heals all.

    As a little update, i got HL working again since my previous post, god knows how i fixed it, but i did.

    And in closing, as i said before, just chill out, sit back, be patient. Just because it sucks on the <b>day</b> of release, doesn't mean that your life will end. And also, those of you who feel the need to compare Steam to the likes of the WTC incident and so on, grow up. Last time i checked numerous people didn't die because Steam didn't install right....

    Maybe thats the plan - forcing people to upgrade would expand their market for half-life2 etc. and for those who won't/can't it eliminates some bandwidth costs. A compulsory downgrade <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> to steam is purely because of financial motivaton (greed) anyway (to put more people in a position to put money straight into valve's vault on a regular basis) - the extra services are just a decoy.

    Of course valve could cut of non-subscribers at any time - they aren't obliged to offer any service, and as they control half-life theres nothing you can do. The half-life cd booklet has:
    "EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ON THIS PRODUCT IS LIMITED FOR THE DURATION OF THIS WARRANTY
    Some states or countries do not alllow the exclusion or limitation on warranty, so the above limitation may not apply to you."
    (The warranty is 90 days from purchase)

    I think it's sad that people write mods for proprietry games which they release for "free" (especially great ones like this <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> ) instead of releasing the mod as <a href='http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html' target='_blank'> free software</a> (for a free engine).

    Nem, i couldn't care less about 9/11, stop derailing the thread

    as for steam, im not going to install it. hell, im not even going to DOWNLOAD it

    same with cs1.6, i hate it

    Let's have a tally, shall we? The count so far:

    People who love/tolerate steam: 6
    People who loathe/dislike steam: 15, 000

    Before steam became such a big issue, I had plans to maybe upgrade for HL2 [but still play HL orig for cs], buy HL2, maybe tolerate going to 1.6 because everyone else would.

    Now that steam is out, I'm not going to be doing any of that. I'm not even sure that I'm going to be playing HL2 SP.

    GG Steam, kill off a gamer that's loved HL for the past 5 years or something...

    Everyone who hates steam, there's a steam forum <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> It's not up now, but it will be soon hopefully! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Don't forget to flame.

    Also, lyndak - can i expect to see this WON emulator proggie any time soon? There's no way I'm using steam, but I still want to play cs... preferably not 1.6 though!! So if you end up making/doing anything wiht it, choose 1.5! or 1.3! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> But yeah, keep us updated if anything happens <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> Or if it was just a passing thought, come on, everyone has thought of it, why can't you go and make it a reality for us <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's not a WON emulation system, it basically creates a virtual private network amoungst the players and fools the HL client into thinking it's a LAN game. The problem is, you won't be able to just "Join" a server in mid game, the game has to have all players in before hand, anybody can drop out mid game, but nobody can join.

    You can see the problem with this.

    There may be a way around it, as HL has a completely different multiplayer system as to the games tested with this "method" -- But I'm not going down the road of arranging all of this if it's not necessary, however I will if it really happens, I'll be the first to help each and every player on setting this up <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
