STEAM Update
Posted by arsen at 15:29 20/9/2003.
After many teething problems, Valve have released and update for their much-criticised STEAM software. The changes are nearly all fixes which I'm sure many would agree are much needed.
- Reduced the need for clients with fully populated caches to connect to a content server
- Reworked some of the retry logic for content server tickets on the Steam backend
- Fixed weirdness with next/prev buttons in conversion wizard
- Fixed failed login potentially opening two error dialogs
- Added conversion wizard any time a cache for a game is created, if there is an existing installation to convert from
- Fixed bad error messages for connection issues when logging in
- Enabled cancel button on conversion wizard
- Optimized Friends searching with wildcards
- Fixed "NumRegisteredChildern" assert
Hopefully we will now see STEAM performing to it's true potential. To receive the update, simply run or restart the programme and it will download it automagically.

there arent many bugs in steam now, if u dont get 100fps then upgrade ur pc, cos u will have to soon anyway. u dont have to play the new maps. u dont have to use the shield. the new guns suck i dunno wot ur talking about, id take a colt/ak over them anyday. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Plus I cant get over the feeling the game is even slower, running seems slower and for some reason now CT's always beat T's to steps on D2. Its just little things like that that irritate. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Tip for 1.6 DONT spray even if some gayboy with a gali is n00b spraying you at point blank range just aim for head and burst a 5 burst with colt and 2 with ak and you will kill them b4 they kill you. Spraying is just unaffective in 1.6 which tbh is only good news.
PS... best thing to do with shield is to fix its hitbox bugs but make the shield carrier walk very slow when using shield and the shield will be a balanced addition to the game [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

cs 1.6 is quite a lot of fun, not as good for clan games i don't think, but it's still good fun especially that riot shield. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

As for running speed it just feels slower to me, pulling ur knife out does'nt feel any faster than running with a gun out. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

one time u can go on a server and hs everything in sight, then 2 secs later u can empty a clip into somones face and they dont die or they are on stupidly low health like 3 or 5 (which would of been 30 - 40 in 1.5 granted).
Plus has anyone noticed that longer bursts at range seem more effective in 1.6? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

wtf does it matter wether he uses the Shield. It's the other c***s using it who are impossible to hit, and by the way, for the money they cost the new guns rock.

lol Gilga i totally agree. The new guns textures look awful and so does the new aztec yet my fps has gone down, ive got a radeon 9700 pro i dont know what u've got GaZ. The reg, once again yea its gone all weird - 1 mo u get hs hs hs from aimed shots then next u get no reg at all and r left getting heaton'ed by someone running and firing round u with a famas. I dont know, some of 1.6 feels cool but most of it just doesnt feel or look right, too grainy and rough. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
