Maybe Someone Could Help...?

I just bought the Half-Life Platinum Edition the other day that comes with 5 games (including CS).

Well, I'm on dial-up, so after I spend an entire day updating Half-Life and Counter-Strike, I try to play CS online. It brings up the server list, and when I join, it starts to join.

Usually when it gets to the "Precaching resources..." or something like that, it stops responding. I mean, maybe it's just being slow. I could wait 30 minutes to see what happens, but I don't have that kind of patience.

I know it's not my computer, because it's hardly a week old.

Any suggestions? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated (cuz I really wanna play this game).

I would say it's your connection. Half Life is a fast paced game that requires a good connection. I had the same trouble with WOW, but it was on a wireless connection.

Installing the steam does not necessory mean that counter strike has finished installed. Maybe you can see that counter strike is activated. But actually it still take a long time to download some more files the first time. I have noticed that you are using dial-up, and take 1 day to download steam. So you may still need take half a day to download more.

From my experience with wideband, it take about 1 hour to download the steam. And it take me around 15 more minutes in the pre-cache status the first time. Just try longer and have fun.

But I think dial-up is not good to play CS. The delay is too much.

Yeah, I know, but I've been really wanting to play this game, and all we can get in this part of town is dial-up, sadly.

Check the steam monitor and watch if it's really done

Hmmm...you can try it by connecting to your friends computer via a lan cable, you can create an offline community, just use a hub to connect between 2 or more computers in a small area.

hhmm i thought there was a way to use the modem to connect directly to a local computer its like calling someone so you dont have to worry about the internet but i think this only works for 2 ppl max...

Not neccessarily. That was what I'm trying to say. You can have more than 2 people playing as long as you own a connector or hub that allows more people to connect together. You can buy it in a store.

It is true that source is a fast pace game and does need a fast connection. But maybe you should start thinking of your next computer based purchase to be maybe DSL or Cable internet provider. Again, HL2 does need a fast connection for online play, but to let you know, the bots in Source are alot more inteligent.

ok i think your talking about lan because on lan you can have multiple connections but i dont think you can do that with the phone line... i meant a dial up modem so it would be like calling someones house phone but instead of talking you would be playing a game through it, cause i saw my friend do with another.

I had the same situation with the game, but I found a good solution and I can instruct you on how to play the game in with your internet:

First of all you need to to make sure counter-strike cach was fully uploaded onto your computer. By that I mean that when you run steam and go to your games list it shows you 100% beside counter-strike, which means that the game is fully downloaded. If it doen't say 100% you have to leave steam over night or maybe even couple of to make sure the game is on your computer. Because whats happening - you are trying to connect to the server but steam also updates/uploads rest of the files on your computer and your dial up cant handle it. So after you're done with the frst part you will need to create a special config to decrease your lag.

You need to go to the root folder of your counter-strike folder: its usually - c:/valve/steam/steamapps/yourusername/counter-strike/cstrike, than you create a file autoexec.cfg and add the following commands to it:

// Client network optimisation settings
cl_allowdownload "1"
cl_allowupload "1"
cl_cmdbackup "2"
cl_cmdrate "20"
cl_download_ingame "1"
cl_lc "1"
cl_lw "1"
cl_lb "1"
cl_nodelta "0"
cl_nopred "0"
cl_resend "1"
cl_showfps "0"
cl_updaterate "20"
fastsprites "2"
max_shells "0"
max_smokepuffs "0"
mp_decals "10"
mp_footsteps "0"
net_graph "1"
net_graphwidth "192"
net_graphpos "1"
pushlatency "-150"
scr_conspeed "10000"
// Server network optimisation settings
sv_unlag "1"
sv_unlagmax "0.5"
sv_unlagsamples "1"
// Aliases alias "net1" "net_graph 1;bind m net3" // Netgraph 1
alias "net2" "net_graph 2;bind n net4" // Netgraph 2
alias "net3" "net_graph 0;bind m net1" // Netgraph 1
alias "net4" "net_graph 0;bind n net2" // Netgraph 2
bind k "net1"
bind l "net2"
// Report
config loaded. Pres ''k'' or ''l'' (net_grath ''1'' or ''2'')

After you go to counter-strike - open console and type exec autoexec.cfg

Good Luck and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Direct TV, playing professional counter-strike source matches live, meaning plenty of advertisement
and sponsors. Many fans weren't satisfied with that move and refused to switch over. So a team
