Is NS only avaliable for download on Steam now? I can't find it anywhere for regular download.

    If you want to play 1.04 on WON, you can get it at <a href='http://redphive.org/?view=redphive_file_display' target='_blank'>http://redphive.org/?view=redphive_file_display</a>. I don't know where you can get 2.01. If you want to play 3.0, then you will have to play it through Steam.

    Try the NS website under downloads?
    If thats what your asking. Though it is only playable under steam now. But you need to downoad it from a mirror on NS.org.

    Is Steam any good? I've heard horror stories about it ****ing up your CDkey and stuff like that.

    Steam is ok but since everyone has to play on steam well I guess it's best for you to play on steam

    But it would be prudent to back up my files just in case Steam messes everything up, right?

    Ive installed Steam 5 months ago... And working more than fine since then except a few common bugs; friends server down sometimes, hard to update in 10-12 hours after releases, some crashes in quiting game (fixed though)... And no never heard of any case steam masses your system...

    Get it... it becomes better every day...

    irl

    Yes you need steam to run NS 3.0. Steam isnt so bad once you stop complaining how bad is it. Iv had it since it come out for the public and have not had to reinstall.

    I just love the fact you can alt tab from steam without having to wait for 10 hours like you had to do on WON.
  • im_lostim_lost TWG Rule Guru Join Date: 2003-04-26 Member: 15861Members
    You can only Alt+Tab out if there is something to switch to (if you get an IM, for example). Otherwise you have to wait until you are dead to click outside the window, if you are running it in windowed mode, and in full screen mode you wouldn't be able to. It's still better than WON, of course.
  • VerthandiVerthandi Join Date: 2002-12-12 Member: 10687Members, NS1 Playtester
    If Alt+Tab doesn't work, you can always force Windows to steal focus away from Steam, by pressing the 'Windows' button, and bringing up the Start Menu. And you still keep your sound, which is one of the benefits of using Steam.

    well i have no problem with steam, update is not even a problem to me, so yeah it's a good program, and it gets new improvements

    and also, steam let you play on a window display instead of full screen and let you hide the screen fast. This is one of the good thing for ppl like me where their parents get angry over their children for playing games

    And they aren't smart enough to check the taskbar?

    Generally the type of parents who don't let thier kids play games are the type who don't know anything about computers, mostly because the media instructs them on how to think.
