B.Ob. Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I found it, but didn't get it working properly quite yet, so I logged onto Steam and just downloaded the HL2 Ded server.... Even thou the server software was taking up nearly zero CPU resources, I was getting MAJOR stuttering when I was the ONLY person in the server!! Hmmmm...... Wonder if it is part of that stuttering problem I was hearing about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 What's really sad about Valve is that the demo they released for HL2 even requires a connection & acct creation just to play. Gotta love a company who goes out of their way to do something like that. Other than that, the demo is solid & I'm looking forward to owning the game one of these days. -- Nem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
