For any sucker who fancies their chances I have been on public servers (with several cheats I suspect) and will be there to kick your bum tomorrow night.

Steve, there should be at least 3 of us plus you and hopefully some of the gits who shot me last week will arrive for a bit of payback.

Ha,ha. CU there.

Steve Perriam

Having probs connecting on CS, but will get it sorted.

Dr Hu

After trying to connect and being told I need a 22Mb download I didn't bother - I did'nt buy the retail facking CD only to be told 3 weeks later I need a fooking great patch just to keep playing it - BASTIDS!!!!

YEAH like we ALL have broadband access don't we......NOT!

Dr Hu

Apologies Apologies - I know I should have slept on the frustration - But I went home thinking I fancy a game tonite, tried to connect at 7.45pm but it kicked me off saying I needed a later version.

I was just a little cross after looking forward to it especially when it was a 22mb download on a 56K modem at home - it would have been 10.30pm before I could play!

I will find a mag CD with the patch on - hopefully I will be cannon fodder for you all next week!!

Dr Hu - a little calmer now!

p.s Do I need the HL *AND* CS patches or just the CS one?

Steve Perriam

dr hu

wot isp you with ? not one offering free connection via 0800 number ?

i'm with BT - £15 and no call charges whatsoever 24/7

not a problem then leaving pc connected and downloading anything !

failing that keep an eye out on pc mag cover cd's for the patch.

i think its gr8 that companies are continually refining their products.

recently there has been a patch for both CS and HL. check out

BarryK

I had a laugh, but I must apologise and thank the better players for putting up with:

a) Having changed my graphics card which misled me into thinking the game was corrupted as I couldn't connect. As a last resort I tried Opengl mode to check out the graphics and connection worked better than ever. But by then it was nine o'clock.

b) Arsing about trying out a game pad. It is useless.

c) This being my first game after changing my keyboard setup and bound buttons and running about like a spare part.

d) Being such a crap shot.

e) Leon watching the football until gone nine o'clock and Phil "The Slayer" having problems so he had to use his dial up to connect to work, not getting on at all.

By the way Leon works with me and is a regular Scoobynet lurker, who watches too many films and who's real name is John. Sadly in this day and age, whilst he wanted an Impreza, fear of theft/vandalism cos he can't garage it put him off and so he has a new 1.8 turbo golf, which he is unwilling to bring to NM5 on Sunday.

Other than that I'll see you next week and u can check if I'm getting any better. Or we may be on Cs Tastic having a practice. I must get that ICQ thing sorted out tonight.

Dr Hu, I've got the patch on CD, and sombody else already offered to make a copy for anyone who couldn't face the download time. Let someone know your address if you want one before next week ( I have a CD burner).

Stop making excuses for wimping out!

I reckon just CS, because my HL patch is the wrong one and it never installed, but CS still works fine.

Steve Perriam

my understanding was you had to be uptodate with both CS and HL ?

glad u had a good game - how many turned up then ?

looking forward to playing again on sunday once the show is over !

might c u on CS Tastic then sometime Barry, and have you sorted your ICQ yet then !

As I understand it...

There are two versions of C/S - the full retail version which has its own dedicated half-life engine and the MOD version which piggy backs on a full copy of Half-Life.

If (like me) you bought the Current box version of Half Like/Counter strike/Opposing force - different CD for each, you have two options.

1)
Install C/S Retail CD
Install CS1001.exe (22mb) Retail Upgrade Patch
Install Missing Map Pack cs_mappack.exe (17mb) (cos they had to drop some maps from the retail version due to royalties issues or something)

This version has a dedicated copy of the half-life engine which is upgraded by the above patch all in one.

2)
Install the Half-Life Game only
Install Half-life Patch HL1106.exe (54Mb)
Install Ready Patched full mod version of C/S- csv11full.exe (87 Mb)

There is a third option if you had a previous (pre patch) version of the MOD game which is
Half-Life already installed
C/S Mod already installed
Install Half-Life Incremental Patch
Install C/S Mod Incremental Patch

I've done 1 and 2 Succesfully - You actually get a total of three WON ids in the box
