[cameltoe1009]

Steam updated a few minutes ago, now I can't play CS:S ;(

"Server using older protocol (5) then client."

Damn servers need to restart......

Uhh...yea, there was. I'm not sure what this update did, though.

Thanks, I was getting that memory leak problem.

Yeah memory leaks suck.

Good work, VALVe. Way to kick those crackers in the nuts! :)

I have a problem where the game just locks up randomly during play. This is very weird, hopefully fixed soon. I know I'm not the only one.

[MetalliMyers]

Yeah, now there are no servers showing up. I wonder what was in the update.

[Shodan]

This is fairly off topic but my half-life 2 was fully preloaded, and it just now went back to 88%, I heard something like that happend to others but does anyone know what that is?

[Element Alpha]

The 88% issue is known and has been fixed with most people's steam. Just ignore it.

I wonder when they'll fix the dust2 error. I've got a P4_3.0Ghz with 9800pro, but on dust2, only near bombsite A, I always get a huge lag (down to 3-5fps). When I restart cs:s and join the same server on the same map again, the lag is gone. Wich means everytime the server loads dust2, I have to restart the game so I can play. Very annoying.

That's weird, I have a AMD 2600+ and a crappy MX 440 64MB and I don't get that much leg on that map....I will get it rarely but not like that....

hope beef net is up soon

[NB.]

Element Alpha, i had the exact same problem you are talking about, i was running:

AMD XP-M 2500+ @ 2.4ghz
Asus A7V880
Radeon 9800pro 128mb
1gb Crucial Ballistix

Now i got rid of the terrible Asus Mobo and put back my old NF7-S v.2, reinstalled the game (just from my DVD backup of the gcf's, didnt d'l it again) and the problem has completely dissappeared. Everything else but the mobo is exactly the same, so i'm confused as to what exactly caused it, i have a feeling it was reinstalling the game so if you havent done that already it might be worth a try.

Well, I downloaded the rest of HL2 today. Have they released something more today or am I missing something? I dubbelklicked HL2 in steam and it downloaded from 99 to 100%, and I did not have the "88%" problem... Hmmm...

[sublidieminal]

Cracker's? What does it have to do with pirating?

[Interloper]

Cracker's? What does it have to do with pirating?

Correct, it has everything to do with error messages and stops during map loads - after many previous maploads.

IE game over......
