This thread is huge and when I searched in this section I only found old or irrelevant threads/posts.

So, now I'm asking.

From what I understand, the Bronze version is the same as the retail version, except that the retail version requires you to put in the CD to be able to play.

It seems that they won't change that since they don't want to screw even more with Vivendi.

You get Counter-Strike Source and Deathmatch with the bronze version so I assume that you get that with the retail version too.

But, Valve will port Team Fortress Classic later (Gabe said so), so I'm wondering, do you guys think that it will be availible in the retail version?

(Team Fortress 2 and TFC source are who different games)

For those who have never seen Team Fortress at all, it is CTF with player classes. You pick a class instead of weapons.

So CTF will pretty much kill the fun in TF.

Also, how long does it take to buy the games over Steam? It says that the purchase will be taken care of immediately but how long does it take?

I think I want the Steam version instead of the retail version. The whole house can explode and I'll still have my game.

All I did was update my motherboard bios to the latest version, reinstall the same drivers I was using for my graphics card 9500pro, and it's quality now.

running better than ever.

I just beat it and I must say... The ending was rather disappointing.

Everything from the beginning to the final chapter was excellent. However the final chapter and battle was... eh...

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
