Indeed, no won version as there is no point in the teamt rying to code for both evrsions when won will die 'soon' and everyone will HAVE to play on steam
So does this make my old topic obsolete in the fact that on the second page of <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=49688&hl=steam+won,and,combat' target='_blank'>this link</a> Flayra himself says that there will be a won version?
Even still i hope that steam lan patch would hurry up.
That post is over 2 months old. I believe Flayra was most likely mistaken(i.e. he changed his mind). The beta is currently Steam exclusive and there is no real indication that Flayra is going to put in a lot of extra work just to provide a WON version. WON is doomed, and it would only really serve to divide the community.
And there is nothing wrong with Steam. 99% of the time it works perfectly. Save for a minor complaint or two I like it better than WON now.
NS 3.0 is supposedly supported by Valve/Steam. So content delivery will be through that. I'm pretty sure there won't be a WON version. (publicly) released.

Here's something else to consider: has there been a (recent) beta released for WON servers? No. Flayra isn't going to release something that hasn't been beta tested.
But yeah, once the LAN patch comes out for STEAM we won't really need WON anymore.
You can take the 3.0 files and copy them into a WON-HL directory and play on specific won-based servers, as far as I've seen. But you have to take the fmod.dll from your steam install, copy it over to your WON-HL directory, AND save the old fmod (Since you might want to play other games and all.).
Too much hassle.. Especially the idiots who can't get steam to work (Took me all of five minutes to set steam up, then it was just the install time, whoopdie do) won't bother with moving files and crap. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
As far as I know there will only be a Steam version of 3.0. Just go out and get Steam though, it's not that bad, people just like to trash on it for some reason. Now that it has more content servers and better bandwidth, the downloads go pretty quickly and I'm able to connect to most servers without a prob so there really is no reason you shouldn't be able to play 3.0 on Steam.
I will never use steam, last time i installed steam it told me i had to restart my computer, i did so, it never came back on. Steam somehow(i have no idea how or why) got rid of my bios and whiped both my harddrives out. And before you ask my computer was running fine before this happend, and after the reinstall of windows the problem never happend again, intill i installed steam again and WHAM no bios no windows. So no i will never use steam and if i have too i will stop playing NS if it becomes steam only. But i'm sure there will be enuf people who crack 3.0 and make a won version that i will still be able to play.
Yeah umm Crack 3.0? Yeah. You can just go in and convert the server files magically. And if you do somehow succeed in making a magical WON version of 3.0 how many servers are going to run on won? It'll be so unstable it won't even be funny and then you have to use your uber elite hacking cracking robot to convert every patch to 3.0 into WON ( And updates should come quite frequently which is a good thing about steam, its easy to get everyone patched)
I would like to see how the WON version would work once WON goes down in a month or two.... There is no point for a WON version, because by the time they release 3.0, WON will be shutting down shortly after. After steam came out, I uninstalled my cs retail, because there is no point for it anymore (and because it was fuxored).

Perhaps you should report this on the Steam forums with your system and BIOS specs. Sounds like a specific hardware/software conflict.

[edit: No it won't be released, before anyone asks.]

Try using the Steam install to install into WON
But IF it gets a .gcf file only then you're screwed. (But then there's a decompiler....somewhere)
