no, i think that valve WASN'T expecting this demand. if the servers weren't ready to handle the amounts of demands, why was it released? or why this stupid activation thingy??? it has already been cracked. i just want to login to steam to activate or whatever... not to download the full game. I have the dvd. this can be the best game ever, but the released date will never be forgotten, not only for the good reasons :no:.

I DON'T NEED TO GROW UP... it's the frustration :crazy:.

people complain about steam all the time, just deal with it you arent the only one having problems. I think steam is great, i havent had any problems of late and its a great program maybe just not implemented correctly yet. Those who knew they were gonna purchase it off of steam why didnt you do it ahead of time and preload it before the night of the release?

Got home from work a while ago, showered, ate, and now am ready to give ol hl2 a go. I found myself saying over and over and over again while going from one section to another.. "man this sh!t spanks doom3!!!" It was definitely more than I expected. Can't say I have any let-downs what-so-ever. These guys did a Great Job and well worth the wait imo.

how could they not expect this demand, especially since its been in talked about since its been announced, pre-orderd since before the first push back, preloaded by a boat load of people way back, and people hunting all around the creation looking fora store that was selling it early. and about 30+ thousand people that bought it and CS:Source over Steam alone.

Nice I knew it would be cracked by the time I woke up this morning. Before anyone starts bitching to me about warez, it's really hard to get legit software here, so I firgure why the hell should I pay for warez when I can get it for free? Anyway my bro is going to buy me a copy in Canada and send it in a few weeks, but I can't wait that long :p

prime example of the "why do we need to activate thingy"

valve should have it en the EULA that they can format your comp if you pirate their game

I was afraid that valve or vivendi will screw everything up with the preload. I WAS WRONG. I really had great experience for the 12.00AM to now I started playing exactly at 12.12AM till 4.30AM and 9.00AM till now (4.20PM). I am on level 9 just entered Cell A. Thank you very much VALVE TEAM.

Just an FYI. Any CD Problems.... Make sure you install CS Source. Otherwise you might get a problem with the install.

I had to return a CD.

Not sure if this is posted earlier. Perhaps it can go on the start of the thread.

Did you read a word I said in my post? I would buy it right now if I could. Just no way to get a legit copy here. Why would I pay for warez? And yes, I know I can get it off Steam, but obviously that's a problem right now and I knew it would be. Besides if i'm buying software I like to have a copy in my hands. And I've already sent my bro the money to buy ti for me, just he's busy right now and can't get it right away and as well it takes about a week to send here. So what? They should be able to format my computer because I'm temporarily pirating it because I can't get a legit copy here? That's just stipid.

    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By BlueScreenJunky · Posted

      No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.

    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
