Counter-Strike: Source Beta Launches! (Don't make other threads.) - Games

[QUOTE=The mouse;21893562]Mine do :smug:[/QUOTE] Mine too, just type bot in the console instead of trying to add them while creating your server. The bots seem a little buggier though, like they're not used to their new speed.

Looks like they fixed exploits (sourcemod, lua, etc..). That's good. But I wonder if server mods would still work.

I guess this was the kind of stuff i expected to see from CS:S2, but sure. Pretty cool.

[QUOTE=NeoDement;21893642] The bots seem a little buggier though, like they're not used to their new speed.[/QUOTE] thats prob why you cant access them by normal means

I've got a server up for the beta.

I find it funny and retarded that the people that actually got in are mostly pricks saying how the update ruined everything, when in reality they changed 2 menus and added achievements. That's it, seriously.

they should add hdr to all default maps

Hey this sounds fun.

Huge CSS update? Didn't expect that. Too bad I'm late, could be the good chance to play CSS again.

[QUOTE=Ehmmett;21893026]Well then, you're correct about that.[/QUOTE] No, he was right in the first place, competitive gaming is indeed a cancer.

Anyone got any pretty screenies? [editline]08:22PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Bad Tractor;21891150]If you want the beta, but don't have it, these are the steps to get it. Steps: 1. steam://validate/260 - and wait for Steam to fully download the GCF. 2. Use GCF Scape to extract the cstrike_beta folder to the SourceMods folder (located in the SteamApps folder) 3. In the cstrike_beta folder, open GameInfo.txt Replace: [CODE]SteamAppId 260[/CODE]with [code]SteamAppId 440[/code]You must have TF2. 4. Rename steam.inf to steam_.inf 5. Restart Steam 6. Right click the new game in your Steam menu, click properties, Set Launch Options, add in advanced secuirty options: [CODE]-insecure -secure[/CODE] 7. Enjoy Steps are similar for setting up a server. Just edit the gameinfo.txt file in the dedicated server. Achievements work, but are not uploaded to the Steam Cloud - stats are also recorded, but not uploaded. You can only play on servers that are setup like this. I'm sure there will be some setup.[/QUOTE] I'm really sorry for asking this, but, how do I get the DL to work? Where do I type it? [editline]08:23PM[/editline] I think I got it, but how do I track the Download's progress?

Now we just need the engine updates for half life 2.

[QUOTE=Luafox;21896026]I'm gonna try that validate thing, hoping it works... Did they change the slowdown you get when you jump while running?[/QUOTE] I guess they did because I'm jumping and shooting like its Battlefield now

Anyone else here getting a low FPS? My FPS varies between 100 to 20, I did the video stress test and throughout the whole test my FPS didn't drop below 100.

I've got 1350MB downloaded so far. I think that I will download it in like 40 minutes.

what does the console say about engine version? (when you press ~ it will show in the top right corner of the screen) And I hole they will re-compile the maps with never lightning.

[QUOTE=-TRASE-;21896604]what does the console say about engine version? (when you press ~ it will show in the top right corner of the screen) And I hole they will re-compile the maps with never lightning.[/QUOTE] It says that Source Engine version is newer than in L4D2.

[QUOTE=Luafox;21896633]HECK YES! That's awesome! I always hated the slowdown after jumping...[/QUOTE] I agree. 20MB left, might post some pics soon.

Its full ffffffffffuuuuuuuuu [editline]12:47PM[/editline] Im going to hang myself now.

video stress test beta = 222.65fps old = 298.78fps

[QUOTE=pawelte1;21896618]It says that Source Engine version is newer than in L4D2.[/QUOTE] it's running on the TF2 version actually also, I'm getting an average of 133fps on the video stress test with multicore enabled, all settings set to max and 8xCSAA :c00l:

Since people are showing the shields off, I remember seeing pictures a long time ago for the updates that added the new models for the Ts and CTs and they did have shields, however they removed them before putting them in.

[QUOTE=Black0ut;21896978]Have you tried actually playing though? My FPS was significantly lower when I tried playing.[/QUOTE] I played for about an hour last night and my fps was fine pretty much all the time
