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?

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
