I don't know if you noticed it at all. but steam F***ed up the servers.. not only esf but i think of most games.

On dod the game crashes right after you join a server. On esf you can't even enter one, and gives you a message like

The server is using an older protocol ( 47 )Than your client ( 48 ). If you believe that the server is outdated you can contact the server at ( e-mail here if exists)
has this happened with other updates before ?

A few words by someone on steamcommunity forums.
Short sweet and to the point:
New update sucks, pointless for the most part, and utterly ********.

Extension on that:
Games lock up after a few minutes of playing and force you to end them through task panel. (Many users have same problem, its not just my computer)
Forced Steam Friends name is ***, I can see setting that as a name in the place of "Player", but forcing it, thats ***, **** off Valve. (what was the problem with users not having their in game name not the same as steam friends name? hmmm?)
Mods don't work anymore, AMXX is "buggy", which means certain commands dont work, game mode plugins don't work properly (eg zombie; protocol change, understandable)
Server crashes whenever theres more than 8 people in it (its dedicated, hosted from a box, not on own comp; this is with all mods off too), really ***.

Seems like you all rushed this update. You should focus more on quality than how soon you can meet the project deadline.

I think I am being fair when I say this:
FIX IT.
well looks like he has a point :p

ya, I was playing ESF yesterday was fine. I stopped for a few hours came back later and I couldn't see any servers, I hit refresh all a couple of times and 1 or two 2 servers would show, but were running ECX with like 400+ ping.

I could see the servers in the history tab, I seemed to be able to join with no problem other then the 0 pople in it.

I even tried on a different computer, same deal.

yup something sure seems to have misfired on the late update.


EDIT/CORRECTION
I could see the servers in the history tab, I seemed to be able to join with no problem other then the 0 pople in it
I just checked, I can get into any server.


I guess those servers haven't been updated yet?

I mostly have a steam problem that is a crash the first time I join a server. I allways have to disconect, wait for my user ID to be removed from that server and then join again. This happens in esf and svencoop.

No wonder so many ppl dont like steam.

Steam is fine. They've never really messed up like this before.

Well, this is a top priority fix so I'm sure it'll be better sometime today.

Steam often brings up patches which breaks up a lot of stuff. They don't test properly in my opinion.

steam just sucks, WON was better
That train derailed shortly after leaving the station. Steam has always and will always be better. Unless you favor a network/interface that doesn't care about improving itself.

Bots don't work with the latest version. That's not Steam's problem.

well

i've been looking at the steam forums for quick fixes and i've found some but none of them seem to work.... whats taking them so long at steam i'm sure there aware of the problem, but you would think it would be fixed by now.
