L4D2 for RM15? Oh man. Once upon a time, the price was RM169, or RM129 if you buy 4-pack like me. Steam sales are really crazy.

During and some time after sale, download speed on steam is usually down due to high traffic. Common thing.
Since steam doesnt lump together sales this time and release sales one day at a time I really think the traffic is better tho. Last year its difficult to even load up the steam homepage.

are you sure u are 512kb package?
from the picture at there, it show 117.7KB, I think is 1MB package.
my 512kb package normally in max only able to reach 60KB/s
512/8=64KB/s
1024kb/8=128KB
so I think urs is 1MB

want to ask you all, recently after update steam client,now when I start pc, get in windows 7, connect to internet, it will auto run the steam and sign in for me. Last time it will prompt out to ask me login with username and password, now it direct login with my account? I can't find any setting for it to disable auto login and I not set "remember" my password/account for it.
Is this new update make it like this?
*
It's supposed to do that automatically. You have to opt-out of it. Open up steam client, click "steam" at top and go to settings. Then select "Dont save account credentials on this computer"

I cant say the update caused this... wait, the update might have reset the setting. So yeah, it might be the update.

Ok, i got it working. 1 more thing. My friend having problem on updating steam. He is new but he is facing this error when updating "Steam.exe (main exception): To run Steam, you must first connect to the internet".

Just to tell you guys, he had try all kinds of soln found on the net and forums. Still cant work. He went to use other internet and still cant work. So guys, could he copy someone else Steam folder and paste it in his PC. Can it work right away?

That trick was supposed to work for endless steam first time update, so I cant say. But it doesnt hurt to try...

So there was an Ubisoft game on sale? Although what I'm hoping is Far Cry 2. Slim chance that it'll be on sale this time it seems.

Now why did Peggle decide to price itself higher than KOTOR? Weirdness

I guess I'll get KOTOR. The graphic is really aged, tho. Too bad no graphic enhacement mod for this game, cant seem to find any.

My damned streamyx got capped also, checked just now.
Not good. If this isn't solved its impossible to play online...

Are we going to get this cap EVERY TIME we buy a new steam game? Because there's no way we can escape cap if we have to download 10GB games. Actually, what's the download limit anyway? They put a cap, but seems to forget to mention what the cap is.

Guys, if I backup my TF2 and unpack it into my brother's computer, will it run? He has TF2 but not downloaded yet. I've tried to search steam forums but I'm wading through a mountain of non related posts.
*
It might work, but what I am not sure is would the backup be locked to your account?...Simply copying everything from your tf2 folder to your bro's PC is better, I think.

maybe i can start offering steam backup disc services.

RM2 per steam backup disc of 4.7GB
RM4 for postage via pos ekspres

u think got ppl minat?
*
Rather than minat, might be forced to do that doh.gif
Still, it would really help if you do that. But it can only be done if you own the game that they want, so not sure if it will be very successful.

(I heard from friend pos laju wont send a package with cd because they think it might be pirated stuff, but is this true?)

Is the streamyx cap also affecting online games (tf2,l4d,etc.) that are played on local servers? Sorry I know its easy to check it myself but Steam is in offline mode right now and I'm worried I cant reconnect due to bad connection.


...Also, still have exam. Next week.

In theory, setting download region to malaysia would be fastest. No cap for in-country server supposedly, only international get capped.
In reality,I get 30-40KB/s only when setting malaysia for download region. Too many strange things in life.
