Counter-Strike: Source New Update Released

Azza · 23 Jun 2010 at 22:29

Well there are only 5 servers in Europe according to my server search. All full.

I didn't play the Beta, but just had a go with bots, and I absolutely hate the score overlay, I usually look at it in game to see who if left to kill and it just covers everything, you can hardly see through it. And what is with the TF2 zoom death cam thing. This is CS:S, not TF2!! Grrrr

I have one day off this week, hope it's not going to be spent sulking in front of a miserably slow download page

Looks like they have TF2-ed it....

Only reason the competitive scene is complaining is because of the -tickrate being removed and set at default to 66 tick now. I'll reserve my judgement till later

KNiVES · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:09

Nooooooo my hitboxes are 0.000000000000009% smaller :mad:

CS 1.6 will always crush this counterfeit-strike!

Am I doing it right?

My client is now updated, gonna have to leave the server updating overnight though, tis still retrying.

Still, OcUK CSS night on friday anyone?

Gideon Lorr · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:13

Urgh, I can't find a good download server anywhere!

mame · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:16

I've only ever dabbled in CS but now I see what the fuss is about. CS and CS:beta has now merged into just he new full version. I do feel bad for the people that played the original version a lot.

Hotwired · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:26

Excellent, changed my download location to a suitably crap but not too distant country and getting 200kb/s more than I was getting from anything from the UK or nearby europeans.

Viper² · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:34

Just updated my server. Went 0-100% in the time my client went from 5-9%

I want 1Gb/s.

Viper² · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:34

Fail post.

Why are people complaining so much about the gameplay changing?

They've just completed a huge engine update which should see CSS even more playable for the modern gamer for many more years ahead! less QQ and more pew?

For people who are having slow download speeds, don't worry too much since they isn't many servers that are updated with the new "stuff" (well at the time of this post anyway)

DisrupTor75 · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:42

damn, just tried a few times and all it says is the steam servers are busy, must be a fair amount of interest in it now

Mason- · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:47

Just came off after gameplay. TBH I don't see what all the crying is about. It's still the same old CS:S just small cosmetic changes. I personally like the new scoreboard layout (TAB key) it tells you how many people are still alive on each team at the top.
I've never played TF2 so can't comment on how it is like it but I like the updates.

About the CSS night on friday

count me in.

KNiVES · 23 Jun 2010 at 23:56

I just killed the entire enemy team on my own after playing for the first time in four years :eek:

Then the server went down and I can't connect anywhere

cplhardnut · 24 Jun 2010 at 00:00

Just tried it now the reg is pretty sweet

Viper² · 24 Jun 2010 at 00:33

Anyone know a command line that works? Srcds forum isn't much help and Steam forums are slow as hell.

willthepirate · 24 Jun 2010 at 01:23

some interesting graphics updates it seems!

i like the update very much, saying that im about as casual as it gets

dmcg · 24 Jun 2010 at 02:20
