Valve has released an update tonight. As always, restart steam to recieve the update automatically:

• CS:S
  
• Fixed an issue which was affecting player movement prediction
  
• Stopped players on de_dust2 being able to hide inside of rocks

• Added "stats" command to print the current cpu usage, players and net bandwidth in use
  
• Fixed rcon responses to properly reflect request id's

• Removed sv_allowlocalquery cvar

• Source SDK
  
• Added Snow and rain materials

Sigh^10:
No patch to fix the last one which now means I cant play DM

 

[NYHoustonman]

No crash fixes either... :\

 

[CrimsonGhost]

....shouldnt they be working on dod source....

 

[Varsity]

Valve isn't one person, you know.

 

[Asuka]

Sweet update.

For all we know, it was included in this latest update and they're simply not advertising it. My guess is the first we'll hear of VAC is when thousands of people get banned for using cheats.

[DogFacedKilla]

It's nice to see them continue to update their software like this.

Who says they're NOT working on it?

 

[Funky Munky]

Sigh. No new DM maps yet. That's what I'm waiting for.

Were you not content with dm_steamlab? We only got that about 2 weeks ago.

Aren't the DM competition maps being released soon? Meh. User maps (stalkyard, island17, facility) are always better anyway.

 

[holligan]

Who says they're NOT working on it?

No-one has said they are not working on it,but no-one has said they are.I just wish valve could tell us if they are rather than saying its our hardware and heres how to fix it blah de blah de blah......Im dreading downloading this new patch cause its bound to be full of more problems for us hardcore DM players.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Awww just because a few people don't get what they want you immidiately think they are stupid, awww how cute.

 

[3mRy^]

How about beginning to take a look in the memory crash problem which has lead me to not play any HL2 related stuff in like 3months or something..

It's taking to long.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Because its mostly true about hardware.

 

[holligan]

I guess you are one of the lucky few who the game still works for.I only started getting this prob(as did thousands of other peeps) after the crowbar/slam update.So it is not my hardware it has something to do with that update.

So dont start giving it 'my game works so screw everyone else' bull.
You sir are a Wan.ker.

One of the lucky few? Obviously THOUSANDS of people don't have your issue, you people act like 200 people with the issue are thousands, sorry just not happening.

No but its interesting how 2 or 3 thousand people play without issues yet 100-200 people have the issue, ironic. Ohnoes you insulted me, I am crying now, don't flame people.

that's right, because YOUR hl2dm works fine, EVERYONES game works perfectly. jesus ****ing christ, I see it now. My game is running perfectly fine and all the crashes are just my imagination.

please shut up and/or shoot yourself. thank you.

Obviously you missed the whole "yet only 100-200 have the problem" in my statement above. But thats fine, because you are obviously just mad.

Please refrain from attacking people, I don't think you would like the consequences for doing so. Thanks.

Im not attacking anyone,im just stating what is happening to my game and you seem to have some kind of problem with me saying the game is broken,the crashes are not in my imagination.As i said valve are deaf or stupid for not realising some people are having problems with the game,just a little update to say they are fixing it will do.

dude theyre getting there, atleast there are frequent updates. anyway just because u have a problem doesn;t mean valve will make it top priority. They fixed some things any in a week weeks they fix more. Just chill vavle are doing a great job :smoking:

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

You seem to have some kind of problem with him stating that the game itself isn't broken. Your assertion that only a "lucky few" are able to play is quite blatently absurd. Yes, some people are having problems. There are always some people having problems. Problems get fixed over time.

 

[holligan]

Awww just because a few people don't get what they want you immidiately think they are stupid, awww how cute.

i could'nt give a dam if his game works or not.There was no need for that kind of comment.I was not attacking anyone just defending myself from his patronising post's.

 

[jwilson02]

if the game obviously doesnt work on your system..either change your ram, change your system or take the game back..valve cant predict how thier software will work on millions of differnt systems....take it back or just sit tight untill there is a fix

 

[daverince]

My HL2 doesn't even get to the menu with out memory ref error since the Steamlabs update. Luckily DM still works, so I'm not totally without.

I think the updates are coming out fairly reguarly these days...I'm confident it'll be fixed in some shape or form in the future.

Yeah I guess this forum has lost a sense of humor too.

 

[Unfocused]

"Fixed an issue which was affecting player movement prediction"

Is this the fix to the famous "hitbox problem"?

 

[Zeus]

Where are the contest maps? Meh, thanks for the update though valve

 

[Noobulon]

I suspected the people whinging about crashes were talking rubbish, it certainly wasn't affecting me in any case.

Then just this evening, hl2dm stops dead. Can't Alt-Tab, can't Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Not had that before. I hope Valve fixes it before it happens again ;(

 

[homeobocks]

VAC2 will be a silent update anyway... its not like they'd let the hackers know

I hear that VAC2 will be shipped with Duke Nukem Forever.
