Its damn annoying? i bought hl2 so i could play cs:source straight away, like i was told i could and i get this gay message.

Your purchase is still being processed, steam will notify you when the transaction has been completed.

Until then, you will not be able to play.

has ne1 else had this? how long does it take?

its bad they can do this when they say buy hl2 now play cs:s straight away, when they dont mean it?
 
I was able to play CS:S whilst I waited. In fact I got bumped back into windows by the notification message.

I can't believe that you think it's "bad" of VALVe to want your money though. Until they do you don't own the game, as soon as they do they'll notify you and you can play immediately.
 
Me too. It came through about an hour later that it had been completed.
 
mine came thru an hour or so later, an i cud still play while it was being processed

rf
 
i also got to play cs:source straight away. i got an email straight away after i had payed. no problems there.
 
I got to play about 1 minute after I input my cc detials, sucks to be you
 
I think you are misunderstanding what the message said. I was in the same situation and it told me I could start pre-loading CS:S and Half-Life 2 while the order was being processed.

On the same note-It took roughly about 2 hours for me to get a confirmation. You should double check and make sure that you can start pre-loading CS:S, or unlock it.
 
My order processed instantly, but that happened to my friend. He closed steam and then went back in and it said he had bought it.
 
3+ hours later mine still says its being processed, as well as cant play cs source, but does say i have purchased though :/ should i be worried?
 
I had to wait around 15 minutes, if it takes too long, sign out and then sign back in and you should get notified instantly
 
Not worried, valve will fix you up if theres any problems im sure. It is strange though that some people cant play before its processed.
 
I bought the silver package 2 hours ago and i'm still waiting. "Purchase pending" ;(
Didn't know that Sunday was such a busy day for steam.. :cool:
 
ah phew glad im not the only one...4 hours for silver package here....
 
If you do it on a weekday, it takes longer for the bank to process. Same thing in that if you deposit money on Saturday, it won't be in the account until Monday.
 
ORDER NOW! >Orders will be processed immediately.

Purchase any one of the three Half-Life® 2 Steam packages listed below, start playing Counter-Strike™: Source™ immediately

Guess not.. :laugh:

Oh well, i think i'll order a pizza instead. Hopefully they'll deliver it immediately..
 
hahah yeah. ah damn 6 hours later and stil no cs source :\
 
I did it on a tuesday and the processing took no longer than 3-7 seconds. I played CS:S immediately after that. Maybe you guys have bad credit lol?

don't listen to this guy.

anyway, yep, it depends on your creditor/cc company/bank (if you're using a debit card). i ordered my silver a few days ago with my capitalone visa cc, and it took a few seconds...no wait. whenever i order anything online, it shows up on my cc in a matter of a few seconds, as well (when i log into my cc account page). so either they're really, really lagged when you ordered (which i doubt)...or just your cc company/bank is slow. debit card is probably slower, but that's just a guess.
 
It took me less than a minute.....I'm gonna have to go with others in the thread and say that it has something to do with you CC/bank.
 
It took me no time to process the purchase.
Ofcourse it had to DL some preload things shortly after.
Are you sure those have finished? That may be the problem.

And what does this have to do with HL2.
There is a Steam forum people.
This is one of the many things that you new members annoy me with. And it, along with all the other things, is against the rules. And it makes the forums look like a slop house. Get your act together.
 
I bought it Thursday the 7th, and it took me like 3 or 4 minutes to process my order...
