Steam Updates

[Anonymous]

Another Wednesday evening ruined because Valve can't release an update properly, gits!!!!!

My sentiments exactly. Well put sir. Anyone know what the problem is/was? Answers like steam is 5hite not needed we already know that!!!

there are a heap of idiots on the steam forums saying that it is their ISPs blocking port 135. What crud. Where do these people get their info?

Pure and simple: Valve release update, steam breaks, valve suk does anybody have anything to add?

log out of steam, delete clientregistry.blob from steam folder, restart steam, steam now works.

Honestly, what a load of *+-/*/*/'##

At least 1.5 still works. We could always have a server running that just in case!!

ok, so i am getting this message now since the update when i try to connect "Your .dll [cl_dlls\client.dll] differs from the servers", i think thats what u guys were talking about it, if so how do i do what u said to do

[bizat]

i did what u said, but it updates again and gives me same message and blob file is still in folder

Sadako answered this in the stickied thread, you need the blob file to play the game, but deleting it forces steam to create a (hopefully uncorrupted) new one.

My other thought was to check that under Games, right click on Counter-Strike>Properties and check that the game is set to update always.  This will make sure that you always run the latest version of the game.  This may be a reason why the client.dll message pops up and is consistent with why that error message used to arrive under older versions of CS.

Just checked the Steam news page and what I thought was just a client release is actually a server and client release.

As the dMw servers haven't been upgraded yet, anyone who has the updated client will receive the differing .dll error message.

I plan to update the servers within the next two hours.

Please note that I am going to take this opportunity to also change the server password. The new password will be available from the relevent forum section.

Latest update

ALL GAMES:
Fixed problem in Direct3D mode where the game would be unavailable for some users. Direct3D mode should work now, but note that OpenGL will provide a better play experience if your video card is capable
Fixed regression that was causing the 'load failed' crash to happen on level change
Optimized some of the particle drawing code
For mod makers - debugging mods no longer requires the steam.dll to be copied into the game directory

COUNTER-STRIKE:
Fixed shield exploit that involved dropping a weapon and buying a pistol in a specific order; you must restart your dedicated server to pick up this change

That happened every map chage for me the other night maybe it will work now.

I wonder how many probs with the shields are all together?
