    Or try the NS Tech Support forums if it is a NS only problem.

    Ignore this. ^ ^
    Ugh sorry I didn't completely comprehend what you had written...

    Steam-related problems should go to <b>their</b> forums. As you said, it is a problem with all games, meaning it has nothing to do with NS.

    "I fixed Steam but Steam doesn't work" - ever cross your mind that you hadn't actually fixed Steam? Ever cross your mind that people were trying to be helpful and that steampowered WAS the best place to go and that you should engage your brain before ranting at the people who are trying to help you?

    ummm sorry to ask another question but seeing as this threads about steam already... i just finished updating steam (which on 56k is like....slow) and it started updating steam platform files when its froze and died on me and now will not work <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo--> does anyone know if theres anyway to avoid having to reinstall it all because i really can't be bothered to do it all again.

    Cheers - Rhodri

    Not NS-related. moved to Off-topic.

    Ok, first off, LEARN SOME FRICKIN SPELLING AND GRAMMAR.

    Secondly, where I answer your question: First off, never post anything in the steam forums. It doesn't help.

    By "Fixing Steam", do you mean you just finished updating it, or reinstalled it? I'm guessing just finished updating, so I'll go along with that.

    See, I'm guessing that it just cleaned your cache file, so now, yes, you probably will have to re-download all the games, unless you got a installer that installs specific pieces(like HL, CS, DoD, TFC...or all, and in which case, I'd uninstall steam totally and reinstall, then just let it update). Otherwise, just re-d/l them.

    If I have anything confused, please say so.

    And for everyone else:

    <b><i><u><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>NEVER RECCOMMEND ASKING THE STEAM FORUMS, BECAUSE NO ONE ANSWERS. DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS, IT DOESN'T HELP, AND MAKES US LOOK RUDE AND IGNORANT.</span></span></u></i></b>

    Never use giant underlined red letters that take up 1/4 of my screen.

    Ness, THIS typing takes up 1/10th your screen. I'm surprised you don't complain about our sigs...
  • NessNess Join Date: 2002-12-17 Member: 10935Members, Reinforced - Onos
    The thing about large red bolded underlined letters is that they are completely worthless next to a well made point, which might be a better way to get people's attention and respect when it comes to a point you want to make.

    Not necessarily. Many of us who browse these forums every day skim a lot. Look at the beginning of a post and the end. Very few things catch our eye. When someone uses something special- it catches our eye.

    I'd be a good admin.

    Your skill as admin is irrelevant, I still vote for Supernorn <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, Norn has always been a good admin on a game server(the hardest servers to monitor, seriously), he'd do great here.

    As long as we're all talking about Steam, I'd like to say something: it managed to delete my account, and now I have to bug my friend to find my lost CD KEY <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ah well. Maybe he'll find it eventually.
