EDIT: NEWS FROM MULTIPLAY:

CSS moves to the Orangbox Engine
Jun 23 2010 21:04:07 by ShiningFalcon
Following the BETA period valve have now moved CSS to the Orangbox engine.
Due to the size and complexities of this change we are unable to sort this update tonight.
It will be worked on first thing tomorrow morning. In the mean time if you don't update your game, you will be able to use your servers as normal.
Please note that due to the game changing to a new engine, custom maps and addons may no longer work correctly.

Guess this is why steam is saying the servers are too busy to do anything!?

Not sure if mines updated yet how do I check?

go to steam > Settings > Downloads > change to irland.... it should start the DL.

I changed mine to Hong Kong. Worked pretty well.

BTW, when I get my server running I'll arrange an ocuk css game night. Probably for Friday, if not, Sunday evening as usual.

Thanks will give it a go.

I don't understand why the game needed all these updates. If it aint broke dont fix it.

Kill cams?!

IT'S ALL OVER

I'M THROWING MY GAMING PC IN THE BIN

DAMN YOU VALVE

:'(

LOL yeah I mean seriously, it does seem a little over dramatic.

I think that although Activision missed lots of things out that could have made CoD better for the PC, but it is still an excellent game on the console and things like achievements and prestige actually add longevity to the game.

Would I buy it for the PC though.....HELL NO!!!!!

So Valve adding content to CSS is fine and ordinarily I wouldn't say this about a manufacturer, but I can say hand on heart I have every faith in Valve to do the right thing (just late)

Can we not play CS:S unless you update it? :confused:

I want to play CS:S now damn it!!!

Gideon Lorr · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:40

Doesn't sound like there is a massive change to gameplay, more towards the user interface, and the graphics. When it finally downloads, I'll be interested to see how it plays.

Azza · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:42

Changed mine to Ireland and it's started to download now.

Was set to Frankfurt originally.

400+ kb/s 40 mins to go.

J86 · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:51

Time to quit competitive Source.

HAz · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:57

not played cs in years but with each update there is always the same boring old people moaning about something.

PaulyD · 23 Jun 2010 at 21:57

Knew there would be a thread on here about this, was getting nothing to 5kbps on London server, ireland hitting 150-200kbps (only on 2mb) so well happy now

Didn't know you could change download location...

Though guess when it does download there will be no servers to play!

Anyone know whether you can still play private servers for mixes after the update if they havent updated?

xen_ · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:05

Taking ages to download. Why are people against the update (genuine question, I missed the beta)? I thought it was just some graphics improvements from the EP2 engine, and some online stats. Is the gameplay changed in anyway?

RageQuit© · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:07

Same people whining about the new update that moaned about CS:S being released in the first place, it being 'crap compared to 1.6' etc etc.

Now suddenly the 'old' CS:S was perfect and shouldn't be touched!

xen_ · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:09

Oh right, if it's just that tiring old elitist talk, then I look forward to the improvements made by this update. It's going to be a while until I can try it anyway, it's only dowloading just over 100KB/s. This is the slowest I've seen steam in a very long time.

MeddlE · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:12

Hit reg is apparently improved, not that I would know as the game wont start now. They should have left well alone.

xen_ · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:15

If hit reg is improved then this is an epic update.

Azza · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:20

I'm 95% there...

nutsnut · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:26

Cant wait for this to download, getting 800kps at the mo, so 6 minutes to go.

Hotwired · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:26

Son of a...

Downloading at 9kb/s 20% done.

This is what happens when you release a major update for the worlds most popular game. Your servers get hammered flat. Or at least the miserable one I got linked to is.

Oh hang on. Download appears to have cut out totally now.

Joy.

Dammit Steam. Two long, hard days at work and I want to unwind with some CSS :mad:
