Preload CS:Source early!


Recommended Posts

why doesnt somebody put this file on a server so we can all have it plz.....?

How many times will I have to repeat myself? You cannot play the game unless you are in a cybercafe! Even when it IS unlocked, you still can't use any of it until you are allowed! You could paly the version built on the leak that has had screenshots posted, but you're better off with 1.6.

actually no, i did use about 5 files from the HL2 beta tho i dont even care bout all this cause u cant do anything about it cat use it online, cept lan

Uh huh, so thats why the backdrop says 'cs2world.com' then I assume? funny that they are the people that released the packs for the HL2 leak.

Somehow I doubt valve would be promoting a site that released packs for their leaked software :rolleyes:

Simply run this 1 command then you can PreLoad CS: Source now!

"C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 260

Enjoy! :laugh: :p

*** Addition ***

For all those asking me what this does, the -applaunch tells steam to run a particular game, or pre-load it if you dont have the .GCF file. 260 relates to CS: Source. This command simply tells Steam to try and run CS: Source even though its not on the list ^^

UPDATE: Valve had corrected this backdoor, you'll have to obtain the GCF file via 'other means'. Sorry all...

Take it you saw the post I put on the SteamPowered forums before it was taken down eh?

Ah well nevermind ;)

Who cares who gets the credit for finding it eh?

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
