CS:Source BETA Live!

Posted by Zorro- at 03:05 19/8/2004.

Moments ago (yeah I wasnt supposed to be awake and no I didn't put an alarm), the CS:Source BETA has opened. All CS:CZ or ATI HL2 voucher owners have to do is restart steam, and wait for a last 'little' patch or two to finish downloading to be able to play.

Jess Cliffe of Valve Software at Steampowered.com:

The second phase of the Counter-Strike: Source beta has opened and the game is now playable for owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero and the ATI/HL2 bundle. During this limited-time beta, issues can be reported using the in-game bug-reporting tool. In addition any crashes will automatically generate a report back to Valve's bug database.

I've done that about fifteen times in the last two days, that doesn't change the fact that it'll happen every time you try to launch CS:S (after it's been updated) from your games list [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I managed to get my hacked non-steam versio nof source to work, just upgrade to v3 (just search for emporio's update), delete your bin folder, extract the rar into your cs folder, make sure it extracted the bin folder, and you just need ot know someone that has the proper source to send you the updated version of de_dust.bsp, and your set to go :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
