March 13, 200422 yr Just when I thought I couldn't hate Steam anymore....For some reason my online games were playing really crap with lag and all, and my speed tests were 1MB/sec slower then normal. Hmm, windows is reporting network bandwidth activity... but from where? Do I have a virus or trojan? Hmm....So I look into the steam monitor..... hey look, it's precaching CS:CZ onto my system.Thanks Valve, I like it when you steal my bandwitch that I have a monthly cap on.Oh, and I suppose this will happen every update since I always end up having to reinstall EVRYTHING in my platinum pack!That's it, I'm writing my member of parliament.
March 13, 200422 yr Author Yes, but, do you consider an expansion to a game you have to pay for part of an auto-update?
March 13, 200422 yr Yeah, I had that too Steam just started to download CS (because it's required for CS:CZ)What really angered my is the fact that they didn't even ask the user but just started to download the 600MB! So don't be surprised if you suddenly have CS installed :)Oh well as Gator said just always make sure you set every thing in Steam not to automatically update (and precache in the case of CS:CZ) So hope to cu soon on the server...[DIAL]Doc
