This is directed to all the people who complain about people leaving the server at the end of the game and the map change. Well, i have no choice and have done so almost everytime because if i stay i get SteaMRolleD and half life launcher fails and i have to restart the demon.....i know its a steam problem and i have to wait for that (hopefully 3.0 wont hate me :blink: )..but i just wanted you observers who see this know that i have to in order to play easier and not restart my computer every map :(
-
i don't see why they complain it could be one of three reasons:
1. You have this problem, and if you don't 'retry' your HL will crash
2. You want to get a headstart on the next game (Say, if you were to comm)
3. You really are quitting because you just played with a bunch of noobs and don't fancy another fustrating game
each are legal, and don't have a basis in complaint
-
Steam? I really don't understand how a standardized piece of SOFTWARE produces such different results on people's systems. Ever try a different install of steam? NS2.01 steam release files?

I believe it causes problems for people with certain video cards or video card drivers, because occasionally when I crash I get an error message that says [name of some video card driver dll] caused the crash.

1.That is basically it, everytime the load map comes up its freezes half life launcher comes up and it shuts down...
2.I dont comm to often, and i join after i see the map change on the steam server info...by the time i join everyone is in teams
3.lol...no if im playing against noobs i usually go aliens and try to scare them the whole game >:D
i've seen a few people who talk about people leaving the game when playing...alls im doing is settin the record straight for me ^^
I have installed steam 2 times now and have all the steam updates for ns....the only thing i can think of is the good ol' fashioned steamrolling continues.....
-
p.s
i got a new vid card bout 2 months ago....gettin 9800 pro soon though <3
-
Huh? People complain about this? I do it every map change or I get steamed.
"timeleft"
-2 minutes
esc, disconnect...wait for map change, reconnect. No crash! WEEE!
-
I thought the problem was more one of people coming on, playing half of one game, then fleeing the server. So you end up with an 8v8 game and then a 2v3. The true hardcore ns player will play every map in the server rotation TWICE before he gets up for a bathroom break even.
-
another problem is, the nice 8v8 game
one of the 8's are going to loose
the other 8 worked very hard to get where they are now
4 of the first 8 leave
now some of the second 8's who worked for their imminent victory have to change teams
very annoying
-
I have the "Evil Steam Bug" while Steam doesn't crash on anything else at a map change its bye bye NS when theres a round change.
Yes it sucks, no I don't know why, yes I hope 3.0 will have fixed it. (And the MP3's I want my Halo music dammit!)

Can I have the older one? :D
Anyway, I usually just 'retry' at the end of a game, when everyone is back in the Ready Room, in order to avoid being Steamed. It doesn't happen to me all the time, but it happens enough to be annoying.
-
I'm going to assume most of the people who get this crash on mapchange/round change bug have a Gforce card...
If so, then yeah.. flayra knows about it. Its been fixed in 3.0 since like.. 2.1o..
-
yeah, i get steamrolled pretty often. but i can usually get back in the game within seconds
and yes ... bug is gone for 3.0
-
It's mostly the BAD SVC: Client on Host 57 error, which Flayra totally focused on and nailed it and got it fixed in like 2.1h.
-
Yeah, but since 3.0 keeps on coming REAL SOON NOW, we don't get these nifty patches for 2.01. Waaaah!
-
monkey fix your "maxerrordistance" problem before you try dealing with steam issues, there are patches out there you just need to look for them, some require a lil know how but they are very easy to install... i've done all of mine and havent had a crash since. ATi <3
-
Well thanks anem i do have a Gforce 64mb right now and that could shed a little light on it..
Grimm...well..who knows what will happen when my ATI arrives...most likley Gforce will either sit quietly or migrate to another computer ^^ ...:ph34r: (my computer is the >:D ) :ph34r: ...lol
It's fixed in 3.0?...aweso/\/\e..thanks Flayra :D
Seth...all i have to do for now is type it in the console once...and its magically disapears :p ..i will head over to those patches stat!
-
LB, wanna beg Flayra to release a 'hotfix' patch for NS that fixes:
1) Steam crashing
and
2) Gorge bilebomb
while we wait for Natural Selection Foreve- I mean NS3.0 to come out?
