    Considering Flayra's nationality, i'd say Americans as a wild stab in the dark. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Won't Steam have to update?

    Absolutely nothing hinted at on the News site of Steam or in the forums...

    To be honest, i'd trust Flayra's word over the delayed news at Valve.

    No offense, but it's funny to read these posts about "people going unconscious" and "my brain just crashed" type stuff when some of us have been playing this game for months. As I said before, I don't want anyone to get mad, but it's just funny.

    As for the Steam updates and such, yeah, i wouldn't be too hopeful about that happening right away. This is a PUBLIC BETA, and not a final release, so chances are that we may not see "proper" Steam support until the final version is complete.

    *EDIT:

    Some people haven't. But i'm still excited, dispite being a CM and have played it before. I'm looking forward to being able to test my co_maps and also play with the usual regs i play 2.01 with.

    I love the way this just came out of nowhere, if anyone had told me yesterday morning that 3.0 beta would have a public release at midnight on saturday (GMT) I would have called them a cad and a bounder!

    OK folks, here's the deal:

    The <span style='color:red'>Beta</span> release is imminent. Beta. <i>Beta</i>. Am I repeating myself?
    This means that this build is not
    <li>bug free.
    <li>100% balanced.
    <li>necessarily feature complete.
    <li>officially supported by Steam.
    It doesn't mean either that it's not <i>fun</i>.
    We would more than appreciate well written feedback in the Public Beta Forum.

    Mirrors should be up and about soon, expect a frontpage announcement. And vets, CMs, PTs, I'd appreciate if you didn't go around spoiling the excitement of the new to the others.

    i thought 3.0 was steam only.....that was confusing.

    3.0 was developed for Steam, but it should be possible to port it to WON, much in the same way other mods were ported to Steam (moving folders). We don't guarantee for perfect technical compliance, though.

    it will be interesting to see if people take to using steam now seeing as its the primary method of playing ns now (well when 3.0 is released)

    Well i know i wont be... as a 56k i hate the idea of steam constant downloads that you cant save if you ever need to backup.

    If i can play it on Won i will...if i have no choice ill use steam but only as a last resort.

    Get yourself one of the big installers (from a nice friend with broadband and a CD-r drive), the 700 MB or so ones, and burn it to CD.

    Then when you come to install Steam again for whatever reason you'll only have to download a much smaller amount of updated content.

    It's just like having the big HL/CS patches on CD. Steam is very reliable and efficent these days. Much of the teething problems suffered just after it was released are completely gone.
