CS 1.6 Beta Realease date...

Anonymous · January 19, 2003, 10:57:52 PM

You are doing nothing wrong. This is not a beta release, it is Alpha at best. The servers won't stay up for more than half an hour, it only prompts for a password 1 time out of about 6, it continually loses my steam account, the server crashes and tells me that one of the model files has changed since the server was launched and that I should run diagnostics to check for a hardware error. I could go on but I've spent most of the day reinstalling it. I am giving up until the release is much more stable.

Sorry folks but it's just too shaky to waste time with just now. I'll happily set up 1.6 for you all again once things improve (lets give it a week or so) but I feel we are wasting our time just now.

This may be of interest to anti Steam personnel. One of which I have become :evil:

A lovely site but wasted. The forum posts I have seen intimate that 1.6 will be released both on Steam and as apatch. Seemingly 1.7 will not. Please remember that the current 1.6 is the beta and not the "release" :-)

Whew!

Following a steam/cstrike update today both my 1.5 and 1.6 servers are up and running.

blueball.deadmen.co.uk

port 27015 for CS 1.6
port 27016 for CS 1.5

passwords as per meathook.

Seems that I still cannot get cstrike 1.6 to bind to anything other than port 27015

Have fun!

I can 'see' your server but it will not connect

Gh0st Face Killah · January 30, 2003, 06:19:27 PM

Yup I have the same problem.
Have added blueball and oldie and doorman to my list, would have done Albert and Stryker but there were to many to choose from.

I'm on as Gh0st Face Killah

Steam sux, cs1.6 is trash

Even on my LAN I cannot connect to the friggin thing!!!

I can rcon to it. I can get it to tell me the password. I can change the password using rcon but I cannot connect as a player !!!!! and yes I have different steam ideas for my client and server!

I give in - i'm going away to be a postman!

There seem to be a lot of people having this problem (plenty posts in the forums anyway). The workround is to put:

+connect 80.195.14.70:27016 +password xxxxx

in the start options for counterstrike. It's crap, I know but until they fix it we're stuck with it. NB this only affects password protected servers.

i got steam and cs 1.6 today and it works perfectly, which is strange because NOTHING ever works first time on my tempermental piece' a crap computer. i played aztec and it looks very friggin nice indeed, especially the updated bridge. famas and galil rifles are pretty good, but galil seems a bit too good at the mo, maybe they'll change it later, its only beta after all. i only got a riot shield once and it was a bit crap but i guess it takes practice. i only played for about 10 minutes but all in all it seems pretty stable, though i know all of you have had some trouble so hah! now you know how i feel
