If i understand what i just read, they have it working offline but can't get it to work online, no-steam, and arent releasing it until they do.....though i could have misinterpreted...

[2:50am] <civicz> maddox doesnt client registery blob hold all the information for caches and file where abouts?

[2:51am] <@MaddoxX> yes civicz but makin hex edit file wouldn't help.. already tested that you can only play in offline mode if ya do that and then you still need the gcfs ;)

Update from Valve:

It's been a little over a day since the test release went live at cyber-cafes. We've been looking at the crash reports as well as the bug reports.

Problems we know about:

Can't create a listen server behind a NAT (you get a ticket error)

First time you launch the game, the material for the launcher background doesn't load

You can jump into the sky brush using a grenade

Crash in the vphysics code

Missing +ip command-line argument

Memory corruption in the server browser

Some hardware specific configuration issues

The first five will be fixed in a release we do tomorrow. The server browser problem may or may not get fixed in that release. The hardware configurations are getting fixed as we learn about them.

These are fewer issues than we thought we would get, so we are on track for the broader deployment on 8/18 (pre-loading on 8/16). This is good news for our overall Half-Life 2 release as we aren't seeing any pernicious stability, performance, or compatility issues.

Omg that kid still believes me lol. I just wanted to see how many pms I would get (about 45 if you wanted to know) If I whipped up some story about getting it working offline lololol I'm so evil :ninja::devil::ninja:

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
