Steam 1.6 BETA Update

Posted by arsen at 15:08 5/7/2003.

Erik Johnson at Valve has announced the release of another Steam update. Work on the CS 1.6 BETA has been sped up of late, with more updates rolling out now than ever before. The update will be downloaded and installed automatically when you run Steam, which can be downloaded from FileShack (once you have coughed up to become a Mercury subscriber).

The changelog looks like this:

Changes/Additions
- Bots now buy armor more often.
- Added "BOT" to the scoreboard for players who are bots on the server.
- Reduced entity count in Aztec to improve server performance.
- Improved Bot navigation on Aztec.
- Improved Bot navigation on Airstrip.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed bug where radar would disappear during gameplay.
- Fixed bug where tactical shield wasn't removed during a round restart.
- Fixed bug when drawing fonts with full screen anti-aliasing on.
- Fixed bug friends and serverbrowser settings not being saved correctly if edited in-game.
- Fixed bug where sounds weren't played properly when using Friends.
- Fixed bug where progress bar would only show the first file you're downloading from a game server.
- Fixed bug in keyboard settings list where you could scroll selection bar off the visible page using the arrow keys.
- Fixed bug where the first mouse click wouldn't work after exiting the UI.
- Fixed bug where the scoreboard would be incorrect when users were connecting.
- Fixed bug where the M4A1 silencer animation wouldn't play the sound at the correct time.

Yes, you did read correctly...the legendary Radar Bug has been fixed! The vanishing radar error has been around for years and 'bugged' Valve so much that they put out an appeal to members of the CS community asking for help in finding the problem. CS just won't be the same without the disappearing radar.

	st4tic 12:37 6/7/2003	thank god for fixing the radar bug. I only play 1.6 now because when u can get a good 1.6 server the reg is so much better than any 1.5 uk server. Can't stand 1.5 It will be sooooo miss balanced in clan matches though. The sheild makes u nearly invinsable. Tbh you should be able to shot through the hole in it. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	PFCalcio THX 15:39 6/7/2003	You can pick shield up though, right? So technically - four people could be guarding the bomb with (dropped) shields - :D Still not funny though tbh [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	st4tic 16:26 6/7/2003	smoke is much more ufull now, btw. If your steam crash's before u can get into a server like mine used to. Then just close steam open it backup and try again. It will happen about 10times. Then its fine and works how it should. Thats what mine did anyway. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Hyperion 16:33 6/7/2003	p3n's advice is best. when on the counter strike menu and press the console button and sort out the rates cos they start off crap. thx btw cos i can play now. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
