Preload CS:Source early!

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 ;)

It hasn't been cracked at all, offline or on.

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.

It's not as easy as it sounds, trust me. It takes alot more effort to make it run without steam. So what? you extracted the files but you can't do anything with it can y:whistle:tle:

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:

Yeah, in IRC 1.6 I was checking 12 hours after I made my crazy accusations, there were people still saying "We're all waiting on this Erich guy" - "Who's Erich?" - "He cracked CS Source"
