Ok, this is my story i need some help.

I got steam, ram the install and opened the program, it updated i created my account and started the process of creating an account was fine, then it asked what games i wanted installed, so i clicked continue and it started doing its thing, then the power went out.

Now i cant log in and i *GASP* CANT PLAY NS!!!!!

I drop it in the SteamApps folder BUT IT DOESENT WORK!!!!!!


Please HELP!

you have to create a new account. You also cant just copy/move the ns folder into the steamapps folder. All the mods have to be a different format now. Steam will convert it for you, but it will take a while to do.

lol I hate steam.

Since steam public, it has caused gigantic mayhem on the HL community, I bet every forum is full of OMG I can't get steam to work.

As for me Steam screawed me cause I can't even install it cause it says its missing a file.

The HL community as we know it will cease to exist....Oh well atleast we have Doom3 to depend on and other upcoming releases

UGH. Most people hate change. Hell I hate change. I like the WON ID system myself but many people have proven their point that Valve has decided to go to STEAM and we can't do anything about it. Besides, it does sound like a decent program if/when all the bugs are worked out. I hate to say it but there are not many programs out there right now that are not buggy on their first release.

Give it a couple of weeks and maybe it will get better. Until then.......Long live WON. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Please don't think that I was attacking your statement. I wasn't. Heh looks like you have spelling problems too. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I was aware it was being beta tested but I was under the assumption it wasn't that long. I have tried to look up the webpage to get more info about it but it was down at the time. I'm sure you've ran into the same problem.

One thing I can say is that valve is a corporation, and corporations don't ask their customers what they think is right/wrong (although maybe they should). Perhaps in the short term steam is bad for the HL community but in the long run it will be helpful and valve like any other corp. must look at long term benefits? Correct me if I'm wrong here. But hasn't it been proven that by having steam it will account for smaller patches, less download time, and overall more efficiency once everything is up to date? Thx. for any input.

Just because another game was full of bugs, doesnt mean its ok for steam to be full of bugs
