what i mean is i can update with ur provided client. now should i replace your steam wif my old one which cannot be update? included all folder excecpt steamapps.

oooo.

yes, copy all the files (new steam, via deimos old client at mediafire) into your steam (cannot update, dunno why) except for the steam apps folder.

fix. thanks

question, if having a UniFI HSBB. will it be able us to join oversea game server like UK, US server in steam?

A bit off topic, but I didn't really want to start a new topic for this:

I'm having trouble updating my Steam. Every time it starts, it just says Updating Steam - 0% and doesn't move.

I tried deleting the ClientRegistry.blob but it just repeats itself. Any help?

not really off topic since is related to steam.
and many people post problem about their steam in here.


regarding your steam not updating, is it a clean install steam or existing steam client?

Existing Steam client. Haven't opened since...February maybe? Cause had little mood to play. But suddenly I wanted to play L4D2 but cannot.

feb 2010? that's like 5 months back. should not have any problems mah.

did you open these ports?

Will try that later, thanks. Hopefully it works well.

A lot of people did have problems connecting to steam. If you have problems , here are few simple steps you can follow

1) Run hotspot shield , connect

2) Connect to steam (dont bother with your username/password , make sure that its remembered automatically. Username and password are hashed. You dont get hacked like that. Its only if you're dumb enough to click on some random link by some random script kiddie)

3. Let steam update , it will download some large junk files from US Server (for some reason our Malaysian IP gets routed to another steam server which is busy most of the time)

4. Exit steam , disconnect hotspot shield and connect normally, you should able to sign in without problem

If deimos' steam thingy fails. Worked for a lot of people

which i think its weird bcoz i can fix easily by deleting all files and folders except steam.exe...
i wonder if its be cause i use DiGi broadband?

Another mid week deal coming up tomorrow, I presumed.

Also, Day of Defeat is now available for Mac OS.

But who cares about DoD anyways.

must get. the video gameplay sounds good to me. i doubt it will go $4.99 or below that

No malaysian/asian players = fail , I will not buy

Anyway , secure your steam account guys. Lately there have been a lot of cases whereby people steal your account. It happens if you're too stupid , no doubt i.e clicking on some unknown link or giving away your username and password

lol.. I totally agree with your bolded statement.. some people are just guillible...

aww is too bad. i just checked the server list through online and there is not even 1 sg or malaysia sever.

Everyone moved to COD

that's why i asked if we have high speed broadband, is that we can joined other oversea server (china, taiwan, australia......) with smooth game. or this is primary school student question? or totally not related? or nobady have tried before.....???

Again if there is not any MY/SG/TH servers , I wouldn't want to play. I dont want to play HK or CN servers because people hardly speak english. Communicating through Mandarin may suck for me and on top of that I dont know how to speak Cantonese. So its a no go for me.

How many times it has been said. Latency != Speed. I can give you an example , 3G Wireless Broadband. Sure you can get 5Mbps download , but the minimum latency to a TF2 server is around 90ms , oh there are packet losses too. Anyway , the AAG should reduce the latency , (Asian-American gateway). Direct link from asia to US , instead of going through Europe/Africa.

Playing with Europeans may be fun , but then you've a language barrier. I dont mind playing with them , but trust me . Some of them dont know a word of english , nor understand the command of "fall back and back me up". Unless its a UK server , then its another issue. Oh did I say , that they do kick non-European IPs , some servers to do that. In other words , a lot of complexity.

I wanted to buy red Orchestra too , a good game indeed but then there weren't any local players. If it had SP , I might buy it for SP , sadly it only has MP


gogo2 , well said.
