God the Steam people really SUCK!!! Is any1 else having problems?

[phat-ant]

well when i played yesterday i didnt notice any problems at all. but i havent played nuke with other players on it yet. and i hear that going from nuke to another map tends to fuck shit up. dunoi :|

i had no probs, i played nuke and was fps 85 so quite happy

This is quite good patching imho, if you ever played everquest when patch day came round you could expect the server to be down from half a day to anything that Sony saw fit and that was a game with subscription fees and of course there was always the nextday patch to fix the patch which followed with a patch to fix that patch and ...... well you get the picture.

[HST_Dominator]

wasnt baitch down for the whole day...

[phat-ant]

only because tef didnt get his email till later in the day hehe.

[HST_Dominator]

rofl...Tef you SLAG!...Any news on the restricting weapon bug? every time i restirct a weapon with mani the server freezes and resets.snowy? i turn to you.

[Snowman]

Yes, go get the new mani mod thats been released today. I have just updated and it seems to cure that problem along with a few others..... well at least until steam do another update.

[HST_Dominator]

nice 1 snowy, updating now...cheers!

[TheShipsMast]

the reason the server was down was because of a 3rd party admin mod..

nothing to do with Valve or Steams software delilvery system..

you buy a car, then skim the head, redo the valve seats, bore the cylinders, you still expect it to be under manufacturers guarentee?

you overclock a GPU until it pops, you aint gonna get manufacturers support are ya?

pffft! dont knock a great way to update software until you know the facts..

[Snowman]

Yeah but come on its not always a problem with a 3rd party app. Steam do screw up now and then. You could ask why value dont provide a better way of doing admin. If they did you might not need these 3rd party apps.

[phat-ant]

Snowman I have always wondered that my self.
why dont Valve make a admin type mod to allow multi user admin control like the current offerings.
rcon is great and all but its mainly for the hardcore and can be a bitch typing in rcon banid 0 STEAMID_0:0:2343214 kick when your trying to get rid of someone fast hehehe.

[Snowman]

Exactly it aint user friendly for that quick ban or whatever

Only facts I know is my pc has fucked up cos of steam a whole lot more than I would like. Yes it is the best platform for online gaming and updating those games on the web. But it's still fucked for lot's of people. I have experienced two updates that resulted in a full cs re-install. Who knows maybe it's my shitty rig.

Nothing's perfect.

[phat-ant]

nope and sadly valve cant really test for every configuration of everything.
my only concern with steam is when they will bring in a monthly subscription.
its going to happen. maybe not for this current gen of games but perhaps for the next, and steam is all setup nicely to deliver such a product. :|

[VoLaTiLe]

wouldn't that just become shit and hated like WOW?

[PyRo]

yep and I would stop playin counter strike then and there

its pretty poor that steam took over 3rd party games like counter strike although they making them better than most third parties could do they making you pay for somethin that wasn't originally their idea and plans like DoD which is why I don't play that anymore

erm Steam isnt a company, its a software delivery platform used by Valve.

[PyRo]
