Steam Update

[ferret]

Here's a tip I just discovered:

If you can't get to the main menu of any game/mod and it freeezes on the background image, press enter. You will hear a windows noise and then it wil say "loading..." again, followed by the main menu

No mods work but CSS does (but its very lags fps wise).

I have turned HDR off as i wont be needing erxtra eyecandy (and my Ti4200 wont handle it).

I have a strong feeling it has to do with the HDR lighting being added to all steam games menus. Why? because doesnt it seem odd that HDR lighting was added teh same time peoples games messed up? surely it will be fixed as soon as the files they are trying to find (HDR) are found in the DOD:S folder. Basicaly, if you wait till monday I bet all your games will work again. Also: Play HL1 games, none of them are broken and infact, you can get a good round of NS for the next weekend untill valve fixes everything.

Well ive dug a bit deeper on the CS:S issue and have found an answer.

"FP_printf" was a new command added in the update. However this causes a conflict with the MANI mod for administration of servers. Now approximately 70% of source servers are on MANI or variants and this means they all went down or caused problems upon activiation of the new command.

Luckily the majority of providers have used updated MANI code to resolve the conflict by now.

ITs weird, when i turned HDR on in cs source "mat_hdr_ 1" or something i get 20+ FPS but no cs source maps have HDR :s

What about the clients that can't even open up CS:S or the other mods?

have you tried restarting steam? same thing happened to me. I signed off, signed on. boom, got into CSS.
Though it ruined VAC for some reason. >< hopefully they will fix all this when DOD:S comes out.

I can get into CS:S no problem. But when I tried to play CTF and Minerva it won't get to the menus.

probably has to do with HDR files. >_> stupid HDR... Though cool it has broght us a huge amount of errors... maybe,

Either that or valve got rid of a vif (very important file) and now alot of HL2 mods are screwed.

My only problem is that all the source game can no longer find the master server. As in no servers show up.

Anyone else get this problem.

probably temp. shutdown/servers too busy.

[Shifty31]

Did you call him a nub? Maybe that would've fixed him.
