cs 1.6 hacked version works on lan

[GearChange]

I thought it was said that if 1.6 could be made to work at a lan it would be used as its the latest update to cs?
TBG Crew are aware there is a hacked cs 1.6 version that plays on lan so why is it not going to be used?.

[addz]

It hasn't been tried and tested properly by us yet.
We want to know more about it, ie how reliable it is. I think we can all agree that it would be better to have a reliable 1.5 tourney rather than a 1.6 version that fecks up every half an hour.

Have you tried it out mate? Is it any good/reliable?

Also using a hacked version is not very legitimate :/ since valve are activly searching for people using dodge copies of their software

[putty_thing]

as addz said, we don't have it yet, if we do, and its good, we may use it, if it isn't then we won't.

either way, so far the tourney is running as has been posted.

[GearChange]

judge has tested it and says it works fine.
as for legit software , that has to be the funniest thing ive heard all year, i mean c`mon every person playing cs is gona have a legit cd key anyway and if valve dont want hacked versions of cs 1.6 then maybe they should of made it work on lan in the first place. It cant be to difficult as some joey has done it already. Maybe valve should employ this person :D

If tbg crew want to test it, then why did u not ask for it when it was mentioned?

cs 1.6 is the latest version and really should be used if its possible.

and tbh i would probably do better playing cs 1.5

[addz]

gear we are trying to figure this out to the best we can. Its not a conspiracy, its just im not sure a hacked server is gonna be stable, what would happen if it fell over half way through your final or somthing. That wouldn't be very good would it?

Also i am not going to stand there and watch us get possibly screwed by valve over an issue that could be avoided. Wheather valve should have made a LAN'able version is a seperate issue, all we know is they havn't.

All that said though the best solution is still being figured out. We havn't made a final desicion yet. Im checking the patch out now as i write this.

i know i'm not a cs'er but i have spoken to people about this and some say the hack doesn't always work

[Wedgeh]

The only sensible course of action is very thorough testing of the cracked version and using 1.5 if there's any issues at all. Whilst I'm keen to get the latest version played, it's pointless if there's going to be instablilities encountered whilst doing so. As to the legality I don't think that's really an issue since as GC says everyone must have a valid steam key anyhow to be able to play online...

[GearChange]

btw i havent got the hacked version yet, i was going to get it at tbg.

Spot on Wedge, that is exactly what we are working on. Please stay tunned for developments.

bop i suggest u shut the fuck up or i`ll shut u up with a thick lip, u fucking arse.Get some fucking respect for your elders and ppl bigger than u :E

If i hadnt opened my mouth, i doubt anything would of been done about getting cs 1.6 working for lan, and just because i dont have a copy doesnt mean i cant have an opinion on it. The person that told me about it had already tested it, as i said in my earlier post,,I really really suggest u dont answer this post.

kinda obvious if its not stable it wont be used.

so many fucking assholes in this world

[GearChange]

as the other poll thread is closed i`ll post here

the fucking point is(and yes im getting very angry) tbg crew were informed of a hacked cs 1.6 ages ago. As far as i am aware nothing was being done about it. TBG crew put nothing on the forum about having/testing a hacked cs 1.6 version. So tell me honestly would anything of been done without me starting these hacked cs 1.6 posts??
and shadow if its pissing u off then stop fucking reading cs posts

[BirdofPrey]

Get some fucking respect for your elders and ppl bigger than u :E Id dought ur much bigger than me, there arnt many people that are!

Also after our 1.6 test (at a mini lan), we have found u still need to install steam 1st too get it working, so u need a net connection. The point of thebiggame is for fun games, so people who never play cs, but yet wanna play at the lan will need a net connection. Also we had multiple crashes, gave up and played dc!

But in the end its the crews choice, so if they dont want to u cant really do jack

[SlyDave]

Right.

1. You are not the be all and end of CS.
2. Weather you like it or not we run the BIG GAME, you don't.
3. You agreed not to be offensive and to conduct your self in a decent manner when you signed up for both the BIG GAME and the BIG GAME Forum, you are in beach of this.
4. I read CS posts and all forums posts as its my responsiblity to.

I'll say it again, for the 4th time as it doesn't seem to be clear enough for you.

The CS will be running on 1.5 until stated otherwise.

And once more we are still trying for Internet access and we are trying out CS 1.6 Hacked.

If you have a problem with that, please contact either me or another member of the crew.

We only heard of this crack about 2 weeks ago, and we have been looking into using it. I've heard mixed results about it, and my main worry is stability. We are planning to test this 1.6 crack out, but if it crashes half way through a game, causing a restart of a game which you may have been winning, and end up losing as a result.... you won't be happy!
This is not our fault, its not Valve's fault either, its just a turn of events that mean there will not be an official patch before the lan. To be honest, Valve/Steam/Whoever cannot expect every lan to have an internet connection and it was very short-sighted of them to make the server so it required one to work.
I promise we are trying our best to get 1.6 to work.

Ha Ha Bloody Ha you ppl must have a very short memories going on about unstable hacked 1.6. At every BG lan i have been to cs 1.5 has crashed at some point sometimes even more times. Never have i known tbg lan to run without a hitch from start to finish.

I have never had an issue in a TBG tourney game that caused the game to need to be stopped, the worst was the odd lag spike and that was ages ago... I think it needs to be pointed out here that the crew are already taking the best course of action (perhaps a little delayed I've no idea) and therefore getting all uppity about it really doesn't have any point. As for threats of violence, I suggest you go have a nice soothing game of golf GC :D It's unfortunate no-one on the crew is really a CS fan, but that's the way it's worked out... Demands for impartiality affect that I suppose...

Generally the tourneys are very well recieved when they happen and whilst inevitably there has been the odd hitch (for some of which I'm responsible I know) it's never caused any enormous issues. As long as whatever gets played is done in good spirit it will all be good.

If ppl were to respond to valid posts in a appropriate manner then maybe things wouldnt get heated. U think bop had the right to tell me to shut up? u think shadow had the right to post what he did? If they want to upset me then thats down to them. Lets just hope im not pushed that little bit to far.

[BirdofPrey]

Its shads forum, and what he said was all true, what i said was also true, you shouldnt make an opinion over hearsay

Also the lan is in 3 days time, the crew have very little time too do anything, do you have any idea how much work needs 2 be done 2 set a lan up?

The server has never crashed when ive been on it during the last 4 biggames, only reconfigs have caused server restarts, there not crashes, tau runs the servers good!

and Wedgeh is right, golf calms all (and get a life, live a little cs is NOT life (Unlike thebiggame which is!))

[SlyDave]

Odd I could swear I closed this thread.

I think all that has to be said and can be said is said, if any ones got any objections please PM me or something.

Closed (again)
