I installed Steam on my netbook but it just wont update.
"Steam servers are currently unavailable" or something like that. I checked the forums but there aint any downtime announcement. i see a few people here suffering the same problem as well. |

QUOTE(gogo2 @ Jun 25 2010, 10:03 PM) exit steam, delete everything except steam.exe... then double click steam.exe again... if still cannot, delete everything except steam.exe... restart pc ... (by the way, I assume you have no game in steam folder. if u got game, leave the steamapps alone)  QUOTE(Deimos Tel`Arin @ Jun 25 2010, 10:06 PM) you did a clean install steam on your netbook and it will not update? OK I will try it later. But I think the problem lies with the Steam servers. A number of people here have said they have trouble logging onto Steam.download the 2009 build steam from the link in my siggy. it should run and let you update to 2010 steam. |

L4D2 at $10!
Well HL1 isnt on the list anymore, I guess that was an error and the real deal is 66% off L4D2. This post has been edited by QuickFire: Jun 27 2010, 01:17 AM |

I think I read a few pages back that there arent dedicated servers in L4D2? Is this true? How hard is it to find a server with a good ping over here?

QUOTE(schrodinger_cat @ Jun 27 2010, 01:09 PM) Been there. Done that. There's only clientregistry.blob as it's a fresh installed Steam. Still pending reply from Steam. The problem lies with Steam lah. I couldn't login to Steam a few days ago on my desktop PC as well. Everything has been fine since yesterday on my desktop PC. But when I tried doing a fresh install of Steam on my netbook, I had the same problem as you, that "steam is unavailable, please try again later" message when it attempts to update the client. |

QUOTE(schrodinger_cat @ Jun 27 2010, 01:38 PM) Maybe....I just got connected to Steam and able to update agian. Phew. Hmm, will try downloading from there later. What I did was to download the installer from here instead http://store.steampowered.com/uiupdate/ But still, I think it was all down to matter of luck whether u can get connected or not. Just got L4D2. Bought it in a 4-bundle pack from mafeya for RM26. |

I still cant get Steam to update on my netbook. I tried deleting the blob and those dump files. I tried downloading the client from Deimos' sig. All no use. It's just total BS. Sometimes Valve can be so damn frustrating.

QUOTE(prasys @ Jun 29 2010, 12:42 AM) I've already pointed out I downloaded L4D2 and HL1 pretty fast for my 1mbps line. It occasionally dropped to 60kbps but on average it was mostly over 100kbps. If I can download at that speed I dont think there's any reason why Steam wont allow us to update the client... which is what... 10 or 20MB only?Can't connect to steam ? Cant update - get hotspot VPN . Our malaysian servers are overcrowded , so basically the downloads are so slow. The only way you can get faster update speeds is by fooling the system that you're in the US , so that when you connect to steam it will download from a US server which is 15-20x faster then downloading from our local server |

Anyone got an idea how the Commandos games play on widescreen HD monitors? I played the second and third before and it's probably the most agonizing but satisfying RTS I've played. But if there's no support for widescreen and high resolutions I dont want it.
If someone can get GTAIV for me I might get that. I think I'll get Osmos. |

I dont think The Orange Box will go on a daily sale this time. If they wanted to do that they would have just bundled it together with TF2 today.

QUOTE(prasys @ Jul 1 2010, 01:05 AM) Those who like Zoey may get L4D 1 for USD$6.80 ! Do you think that someone who has just gotten L4D2 should get L4D as well? The gameplay can't be that much different, right?I think I'll pass. Wait till I've squeezed all the fun out of L4D2, then decide. Should be year end sales then. lol |
