    Huh - it said it would take 46 minutes to download the H-L stuff. Five seconds later, it's done, and it all works. I ain't complaining.

    *Runs off*

    some hints:
    - if you get any error with "steam.dll" do a scandisk on the harddrive you have steam on.
    - if you get an error with "steamui.dll" remove that dll file out of the steam folder and download it again.

    The System Is Down.

    Steam has yet to prove to me any useful reason for its existence, but now it's proven another way to annoy me.

    So can anyone tell me, what is it people do when we can't play NS?

    Because I don't remember...

    I hate steam with all my heart.


    Imagine how HL2 would be if all the time wasted on steam would have been put on it instead.

    Probably exactly the same as it is right now, considering they're separate dev teams. Steam is an extremely ambitious project, it's going to be very bogged down once in a while with all the CS players.

    Just remember kids - steam makes updates a fully automated, easy process. And heck, doesn't it? Fully automated, 100% non-redundant service that won't work for days after each half-significant update <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> . Personally I never had any problems with manual updates, and I'm yet to see any half-decently big steam update go without severe issues. And that is to mention that half-life hasn't had a single major engine update in the entire steam period, while it had quite a few in WON days. I fear the downtimes when or if 1.7 comes out <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'll end this post with a sarcastic "valve press release to come tomorrow".

    <!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Random Valve rep: Sorry guys, we were under DDoS this time, that was the problem. Really. There are so many hundreds of thousands of machines using a badly programmed "steam" trojan to hammer our servers for a service that's not available, downtime was unavoidable. We're working on permanently banning the cd-keys of everyone involved, so that they can donate yet another 10USD to the our holy war on customers' rights to play the games they purchased.

    Stop complaining and wait till its fixed. Posting about it not going to help. Restarting PC, restarting steam helps solved the problem atleast for me. Also just having some patience helps to.
  • WarriorWarrior Join Date: 2003-02-16 Member: 13624Members
    THe main reason why steam is laggy and not working is because you have thousands of people re logging on all the time. Once people log on and stay on it should be less laggy.
