I finally got esf to work for steam yesterday,
but there aren't any server up for it yet so I'll continue using won untill
I have to move over.

I cant get esf to work for some reason, the key config is really messed up and it wont load maps.

Hmm, I don't know about that. Maybe it's because you didn't paste the fmod.dll into the Steam > Apps > Half-Life directory? I had trouble because I didn't do that. When I did, I was error free.

Man...that sucks. They tell us we HAVE to make the switch...but...they dont' even make it easy or user-friendly. Lame-o-rama.

one question to the esf team,is it possible to play the following versions of esf with the cs version 1.5?

Steam sux ass! its realy crap most players think it sux & i agree with them!!!!!

Bah its just because the servers are being overloaded,abd we all know what happens when it overloads

But I will have to agree,it is still too buggy for a public release :\

On-topic : I already knew that,but it will come in handy when I forget how to do it,Im rather forgetful you know....

actaully steam works pretty good, i just got it yesterday set up day of defeat counter strike team fortress esf beta 1.1 and natural selection inl ess than 45 minutes, the servers are working fine now u just have to give it a chance and not hit ctrl alt deleate every three seconds

It will not be possible to play esf in 2 weeks without being on steam.

K now this may be asking for too much but, can't someone whose has some exp in the steam, write out a guide?

If they ever ever try to get money out of me for updates i'll just quite the eniter hl thing , same for hl 2 ffs .. for now ill 'try' steam .. it sais i have 1 month for my cd key ?? that must be the most crappy deal ever not ?

I Dont see why people rip on steam. Its new, and so it sucks right now. Thats because it needs to be fixed of its little crap errors. Its made for broadband use.. so you know what that means.. No **** 56kers laggin up the server. So most people should be happy. Give me a GOOD reason why it sucks

it is being made for HL2 in mind, yet they ruined HL to test it out. Thats whats wrong with it, they RUINED HL to test HL2.

YOU PEOPLE CAN'T READ ANYTHING!

It says you have a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION, not ONE MONTH TO PLAY.
I hope you sign something you wish you never did.

ironically enough it takes forever and a half to load into a server, still lags in my opinion for some reason, and jesus god forbid it tries to freeze on u... then u HAVE to go CTRL ALT DELETE on the damn thing... steaming pile of **** is more like it... ill stick to normal 1.5, oh and the buddy system is always outta wack

Steam works good, just because a bunch of idiots can't get the damn thing to work say "it sucks, it's stupid, wah, wah!" Everyone just follows along. Someone says one thing, then a whole army of people do the same. Just use what's in your head. Follow the installation instructions, read the FAQ's, read the tutorials, and you should be fine.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE RANTING ON HOW STEAM IS DUMB IN MY THREAD

Thank you, and GL!

Amen to that. Steam really does have a lot of potential, you just have to give them a couple of weeks to iron out their content servers and fix up a few bugs.

i've got esf working on steam

Has anyone got the bots working on steam? I tried to install esf bot version 3 and the game does not boot when i go create game

@zed: I don't know about the bots... since i've never downloaded any. If it involves adding anything to the HL directory or ESF directory, it probably will work. You just might have to do it manually though, since the installer will automaically look for the Sierra directory.

So, if anyone that has the bots figured out for Steam, please post a "how-to" in here.

Thanks
