New Steam Update

Posted by Blitz at 09:17 11/3/2004.

After a botched first attempt at an update, the steam team have fixed a bug in yesterday's release and a new update has been sent out. As usual, a Steam restart will do the trick. The update is for all Steam games:

Changed HTTP download behavior to retry connections using old trickle download method if it can't download all files.
Fixed a crash bug when connecting to a dedicated server with an empty mapcycle.
Fixed a bug where MP3 volume wasn't working properly.
Fixed "STEAM UserID 0:0:1 is already in use on this server" message when connecting to LAN servers in offline mode.
Fixed memory leak in HLTV.
Fixed bug where the Internet connection speed ("rate") was being improperly set to the default value of 1500, causing poor network performance for many users.
Games are now marked as ready for offline play when they reach 99.99% of cache loaded rather than 100% (fixed offline play not working for some people)
Added a "Do you want to restart now?" dialog when language settings are changed

	Zorro- Clan [F] 11:28 11/3/2004	Fixed memory leak in HLTV. Good news for those guys running HLTV proxies on Linux :D (like the UK/IE Cup HLTV proxies). This damn leak was there for months, making HLTV proxies just consuming more and more memory while running till all memory was used. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Lord Fondlemaid 18:06 11/3/2004	I love it when nerds call other nerds nerds on a nerdy intarweb gaming forum, as if they weren't a nerd themself, posting about nerds who play nerdy games and post nerdy posts on nerdy web-sites, like this one which is read by nerds. Everyone alive is a nerd in one way or another. Do you like cars? You're a car nerd. Do you like CS? You're a CS nerd. Do you like clubbing and DJing? You're a clubbing and DJing nerd. Do you like <insert activity or object>? You're a <insert activity or object> nerd. Cheerio (you nerds) L.F. (yet another nerd) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
