just wait guys...

[16:06] <@postal> the current release has been announced as pre-mature, you can have steam 2.0 and 1.6 downloaded, and it still wont work cuz the servers aren't supposedly configured correctly, so CHILL OUT

[16:09] <@postal> omg
[16:09] <@postal> people chill
[16:10] * ChanServ sets mode: +l 382
[16:10] <@postal> cut the "is it out yet?!?!?" spam
[16:10] * NightGirl{SeXy} (GoodGirl@apx-1-354-56k.portsmouth.zoomnet.net) has joined #counterstrike
[16:10] <@postal> there was a release earlier in the day around 1:30-2:00pm, it was early, they are going to RE-RELEASE at 6pm EASTERN
[16:10] * [God-W] (~Scyleth31@h68-145-1-197.cg.shawcable.net) has left #counterstrike
[16:10] <@postal> so until then DONT ASK IF ITS OUT, its going to get you banned
[16:10] <@postal> if it doesn't come out at 6pm, we will figure it out then.

btw, im dowxp on etg ;o but im logging off soon to the newbs spamming the chan that makes my mind go crazy.

example:

[16:16] <@postal> remember folks, this is a BETA not the full release
[16:17] <@postal> essentially they only have to give it to 100 people then say "hey we found the bugs"
[16:17] <@postal> and not give it to you until they fix it
[16:18] <Nuke101> Postal - yes they could of only did that - BUT THEY DIDNT! They made this a PUBLIC BETA! Meaning for the WHOLE CS COMMUNITY - if they made it just a priv beta no one would be bitching, but they didnt! THEY SAID A BETA FOR ALL TO USE WOULD BE OUT EARLIER THIS WEEK! And it wasnt - that is fine, they need to make some last minute changes thats great, now they say its gonna be out today at 2pm, and its isnt - wow, crew me once fine, ag
[16:19] * postal sets mode: +b *!*@HSE-Ottawa-ppp323974.sympatico.ca
[16:19] * Nuke101 was kicked by Sentinel (banned: postal thought you should not be here.)

sorry dude, but it appears that you aren't missing much..apparently you can't play a game for more than a minute or something, then it crashes..

Edit: Of course, i'll let you know in 6 minutes! :)

I think it is putting it in the wrong place....:eek:

Look in the Steam Cache folder....there are CS 1.6 files in there but the dont seem to be apllied yet....maybe we can apply them manualy.

Where did you install steam? Where is CS installed? Do you have CS Retail?
