Just a few questions ...

Do you get disconnected from the game only (or Steam), or the connection to the net is dropped totally?

If you are not playing CS, or surfing, just idle, do you get disconnected at all?

Maybe there is a connection problem in your area at the moment, the Xtra network status page doesn't report any connection issues, so could be local, following the strong winds lately.

180462 2003-10-04 23:04:00 CS has updated now to 1.6 and you play through Steam (www.steampowered.com). This gives you a new 'Steam ID' and the WON (World Opponent Network) ID number will still be redundant, which means that games running 1.5 on the net will cease very soon.

Steam is a stand-alone program that finds servers, launches the game, sets options etc. The maps, weapons and some features of the game have changed too.

Maybe if you are connecting to the 1.5 version servers you should look at updating....

180465 2003-10-04 23:33:00 yes, it is that size . . . . if you are on Jetstart you can get it at full speed from the Jetstream ftp site, or there are several places you can get it from using a download manager (leave it going overnight and resume if interrupted) .

I suggest getting the full 370-odd meg file which includes the cache needed rather than the smaller 'installer' and Steam downloading it separately (that way never worked properly for me) .

Someone may be able to burn it to a CD and post it to you . I could if you were really stuck .

180466 2003-10-04 23:37:00 do i need to update my HL as well, it is currently 1.1.1.0.

I can download the 370 meg no problem, overnight for me on 56k should do the trick. (2 phonelines)

But 768 megs thats like 4 days non-stop

but if you were going to be REALLY generous and send the full to me?

180467 2003-10-04 23:47:00 Do you have the CS mod or retail version. If you let me know the file number you need to update to 1.5, I could burn that to cd, and add the 370 meg Steam exe too.

Look http://www.counter-strike.net/ for info as to what you need and post back.

My email is splatty at orcon dot net dot nz, won't be doing it today though, have promised the kids I would take them out (in the wind) for the arvo.

180468 2003-10-04 23:56:00 The steam installing for just cs has this description from fileplanet

This file includes the full cache of data required to run Half-Life v1 . 1 . 2 . 0 and Counter-Strike v1 . 6 in the Steam client .

Does this mean it has the Halflife update in it? the halflife site does not have the 1 . 1 . 2 . 0 update .

I have the cs mod 1 . 5 .

I dont have cs retail i got the halflife retail then i downloaded the cs mod .

my email is mrbeef at the orcon
