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.

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.

gaz most of ur points are either stupid or dumb.

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 ]

To fix your "crash to desktop on clicking options" problem, delete your config.cfg in steam > steamapps > emailfolder > counter-strike > cstrike, start cs let it make a new one then just redo ur keys/rates etc. It most probably because u have a command it doesnt like, a buy script command etc. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

1.6 is just generally annoying, nothing feels the same. GFX somehow look worse even tho they're an upgrade. New guns make the old annoying noob mp5 strafer who always hs u across the map into f***ing heaton.

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 ]

1.6 is just back to 1.3 but with bells and whistles and a new netcode that gives the impression that your constantly being terped due to the upgraded client prediction trust me you will love the netcode once you get to grips with the way it handles and overall reg is better on the UK servers AND!!!! most importantly the new netcode registeres 10x better with 0.1 interp if you use ex_interp your reg significantly decreases unless you have a sniper weapon.

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 ]

I know it dont make sense Smittins, but u go see, jump down the middle as a T and CT's still beat u into the steps no matter how good ur spawn is. In 1.5 u would sometimes get 1 CT who was entering same time as u, now I run around the corner into 2 or 3 CT's. Its nothing major just something irritating.

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 ]

i feel u there smittins

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 ]

a lot of it is to do with the servers setting rate back to 7500 a lot of the time, in mix's its been fine cos people pay a bit of attention to it but on public a lot of people don't change rate ( or lower it ) so its a bit more random [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

"New guns make the old annoying noob mp5 strafer who always hs u across the map into f***ing heaton."

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 ]
