I just bought the bronze package on steam, how do i check the download status ?

 

[VIAN]

right click on steam icon on taskbar and choose monitor

 

[placebo139]

sitting at 82! what's going on? haha, this is sad.... i havent been able to do anything all day, all for a stupid game (well, not stupid )

 

[Nebor]

Wow, so I just assumed it automatically preloaded HL2, like it did CS:S and HL, Opposing Force, etc....

So I double click the HL2 thing to play, and it says "Click here to begin Pre-Load." So I guess I don't have ANY of it. And it says that things are too busy, and I need to wait a few hours to try again. Sweet.

OMG OMG I JUST STARTED A NEW GAME

You might be waiting for a while. Why did you wait until the RELEASE day to buy on STEAM?

 

[BullsOnParade]

Is there a way to pause CS: source download and up the HL2 download, i'm getting a combined 5MB/s but i'd much rather that be HL2 alone.

 

[sparkyclarky]

it's here and I have no time to play

 

[oaaltone]

whooo!

82%, looking at the monitor for the last five minutes, I've only been dling for about 30sec and have reached 1.5Mb/s in 15 of those 30. LOL dam. still at 82.

 

[VIAN]

I bid thee farewell for the next few hours. God speed.

 

[BullsOnParade]

I'm getting CS at 3MB/s and HL2 at 2

 

[Reckoner]

Ahh wonderful, got a CTD after selecting New Game from the menu :/, hopefully I don't have to reinstall

 

[BullsOnParade]

probably 20min more for CS and perhaps by 4:30 i'll have HL2.

 

[jm0ris0n]

Allright, the world has not collapsed. Goodnight all Chat was fun

 

[TwYsTeD]

I demand people post first impressions!

I wasn't going to buy it, but thanks to your bastards I am currently awaiting its arrival at 2.5MB/s 10% done.

wow. neat game, but i would have thought there'd be more than 10 minutes of gameplay. what's next?

 

[BigFatCow]

[Nebor]

Apparently I just needed to restart steam. But now it's updating files or something. It says 60 minutes. Fuck.[/b]

I get to the loading screen in HL2 and then it crashes with 2 errors in the backround Application errors.
