Guys might get a kick out of this. An angry fan voices his opinion.

BTW, in CS:S I am getting an error saying "Map version is 0, expecting 19 !" every time I try to play. I am worried that this will affect HL2 as well. On the steampowered forumns another person posted the same thing and they told him to delete the local files for CS:S but I can't because it says that are needed for HL2 (which is already 100% preloadded). :no: Any suggestions?

you suck, go buy a copy of Hl2. Besides i wish they can't come up with a crack. RELOADED never did with Counter-strike Source :p. Yay for that!!

I know that, I just wanted to get a little program that would allow me to play early.

And to let you know, I already got my copy from the Best Buy in the next town. :)

I would post pics but they are like all the others :)

Go to CSS' properties and tell it not to stay up to date. Close the dialouge and wait a few seconds for any network activity to die down. Then go back to the Properties and tell it to stay up to date. Steam ahould then sort itself out.

If that doesn't work you've got to go to your SteamApps folder and delete the larger of the CSS cache files.

Amen Vivendi are now probs about 70%+ hated throughout PC gamers, the very market they publish most for

And probably even more throughout the free software community over the whole BnetD mess...

Do you think my pc will take half life2?  :rolleyes:

I'd bet on it. You might need to make sure your drivers are up to date, but I think it shouldn't have any problems.

just got the Silver package over steam last night, played soem CS earlier, last tiem i played CS was back in the early builds HL1 days.

so far id have to say psudo impressed witht he engine, but CS was imported into Source.

and went to adjust the settings, and everythgin is on high, with exception of Anso/FSAA off. might turn them on later so see how it runs

dont know where to post this question as my steam forums account isnt active yet, but i already have HL-1/OpForce how can i unregester those keys and donate them to a friend that doesnt own them. since i got an extra copy of them with the silver package?

IF you look into they will unlock a key and you can apply to anothe account for ONLY 10.00! Look throught the FAQs on the steam site and you should find your answer

---- Post Above, i thought the FAQ's at teh steam site were for steam only and unrelated to HL keys, guess iw as wrong

You can't the keys are locked

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
