What happened to 'after conciderable thought' 'load of crap' etc. etc.? Well done. Do you feel as though you've actually achieved something other than installing a bloody game? Trauma? I can now handle trauma, I've beaten steam. (Or have I?)

That was just a frustration post. I've still got major reservations as to how this might completely knacker Counter-Strike. We'll have to see.

Here's another frustration post. Being a smug bastard, I thuoght I had this Steam by the proverbials. Then it refuses to do anything. I've COMPLETELY uninstalled it, cleared out the registry and hd of any trace of it. I then reinstall thinking it might go through the same process. Fat chance. I to have had it with Steam  :frusty:  :frusty:  :frusty:  :frusty:  :rant:  :rant:  :yell:  :yell:

Hmmmm
I downloaded the same file that Tealeaf tried last night.
I got it in about 1.5 hours.
Only to find that it was borked...........not a valid windows 32 bit thingy wonga.
Installed Steam this morning at about 7-30 and was into my first game of CS_1.6 by 8-20 ish,
Absolutly marvelous ..........
My son DL on his PC straight after also.
No probs whatsoever.

The only problem I now face is sorting all my binds.
I used to use RzE's CS Helper you seeeeeeeeeeeeee.

the problem to me is that when WON go off line you will have no choice but  to use steam thus rolling back to 1.5 would not be an option

not a chance they have us now  :blink:

That's a fair point. In the not too distant future if you don't run steam you don't play CS (which is where all the worries about Valve charging for what is to all intents and purposes a free Mod).

The truth is, on a fairly standard XP install, I'm running Steam without much problem. I've played on several servers and it seems stable enough. So it does work (grudingly).

Having finally(!) got Steam to work, apparently properly, it's like living with porcelain and crystal and all kinds of delicate and expensive stuff around the house. I'm frightened to touch anything in case it breaks.   :unsure:

Mine works, allbeit after a couple of days worth of downloading but it does work.  :D  I backed up my custom bindings from the beta install and transferred them over to the new versions so all my setting and buy scripts are working great too.  :rolleyes:

Well I hate to say it, but when I started up my PC this morning steam loaded in the background and during the last 5 hours has finally finished my steam update.  I just manged to get into a game of 1.6 for the very first time :)  Of course the sounds are crap and the first time I bought an MP5 I ended up with a TMP  :blink:  because all the menu slots have moved, but hey at least it is loaded  :D

Now all I have to do is read the buyscript page and then try to swap in some half decent models and sounds as the ones I saw and heard were appalling - damn, somebody get me a 1.6 CSRU patch quick!  :dribble:

Might even see some peeps online later for 1.6, hopefully even on our own server  :unsure:

Don't log in with your beta username, select the option to create a new account BUT (and here is the good bit) give it the details of the existing account - it will create a new account with the old details :-)

Ohh Lordy Momma

Praise be to the Lord for he has reached down from the heavens and touched my steam account and said ' Let it be'
and it came to pass I was granted registration....and the crowd did sigh in awe & wonder and got down on their knees and said 'go on then get on MH'

and with that hope & belief in my heart for our Lord Jesus I didst art tho F***ing try. But Lo I was thwarted at the elevnth hour by the devil and f*ck me I cant get in.
F*ck
F*ck
F*ck
And here endeth the Lesson my children until the next time...I will be back

Well after a hugely frustrating evening, 2 reinstalls and many many reboots I finally managed to get on to the hook just as the last person left!! So I joined the 12K server, wow do I get a good ping to them. Spent most of the time with a ping of 12 WOOT!

Heres hoping I don't have to do that again if I want to play 2moz.

Keep the faith brother, keep the faith. (won't do you any good, but keep it anyway.)
That was intended to be a quote of SS. :rolleyes:  See, the influence of Steam is reaching into our very souls.  :blink:
