No they won't... They've turned the blasted forums off again!

TBH, I'm not that bothered about the DM mode at the moment, none of my buddies could afford a copy of the game atm & I much prefer to play against them than strangers...

Now the full SDK at last, THAT'S the most interesting bit! :yes:

FFM

For everyone that is having the problem of it NOT WORKING any more, post these details to see if there is a pattern. CPU, Video Card and Version (i.e. Preload/DVD,CD)

Pentium IV, nVidia GeForce FX 5200 and DVD Collectors Edition

It does however have the new NO-GAMES-WORK-ANYMORE feature, well in my situation anyway.? It verifies the DVD and then nothing.

You guys are effing retarded - stop jumping to the conclusion that EVERY SINGLE UPDATE BREAKS THE DAMN THING.

You have about 50,000 people all over the world trying to download this while it's verifying your account and the files and then your computer has to process this. And yeah, the forums are down to make room for bandwidth. Anyone's bound to have some snag here and there - mine did the first two times I tried to start/connect, but guess what - I DIDN'T S&*T MY PANTS AND GO RANT ON A FORUM. Next thing I know I'm throwing toilets and explosive barrels on the laggiest server I've ever seen.

Give them a chance to get this thing out to the masses before anyone takes a high dive off the Citadel.

EDIT: I'm going to create a server (can't vouch for the lack of lag - if I figure out how to name it, it'll be NEOWIN HL2DM #33 and the password is "effing" no quotes)

is it too much to ask for hl2 to work?? eh? eh? citadel that.

nice saves me the trouble, could u password protect one so neowin users can use it? cause all the decnet one i find are full (decent as in pings)

It would be a public server, so no pw protection. Not sure as what location it will be, since we have Seattle, LA, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and NYC at our disposal.

:pinch:

Another thing that gets me, why is it when ever Steam/Valve mess up they always take the forums offline, its like they dig there head in the sand till its all fixed. >_<

Or maybe it's the fact that the forums can't stand up to 10000 people simulataneously trying to access them and they'd rather save people the trouble than try and serve up 5 minute waits for pageloads....

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
