hmmm, another bs update, instead of focussing on player models and pointless friend betas, why dont valve concentrate on the most important ****** up of all time, hit reg.

Posted by Elanzer

Yeah, fixing a bug that's afflicted over 25% of people who have the game, making it near unplayable since release. What complete bs, such a waste of time.

Exactly. Man, they need to sort their priorities out. Its like they either dont know about the bug, or their choosing to ignore it.

SORT IT OUT VALVE!

Lives your an idiot.

"near unplayable since release"
Even if he got the wrong idea he still is right about their priorities. If the problem was that bad and affecting over a quarter of people with the game it shouldn't take over a year to fix, especially considering the amount of updates that have come out since the release.

There's been numerous attempts at fixing it by Valve but most have only solved a handful. If you want an example of the scale of the problem then google 'half life 2 stuttering' - 576,000 results.

I think were all dreaming that source will one day work 100% properly, it will never happen

What's this "Stuttering" phenomenon? I don't think i've ever experienced it.

hm...skyfire...i do not know any game that works 100% properly ^^
but people always compare 1.6 and css...but you cannot compare these two totally different games because it took the original counterstrike (ca.) 7 years of development and improving...css has only made the first steps so to say, but valve does work really...lets say superficial. the link between the community and valve is not a very good one...just take a look at the steam hp... if they want to make css aa competitive game they will have to work together with the community and ask the players what to improve...i know do they do so...but...maybe they just ask the wrong people ^^

Rifleman your a ******y s|ut. Why am i an idiot?

the friends function is pretty good. It tells me where all my friends are but it lags a lot of functions. I would recommend XFIRE if not more.
