How to Download the CSS BETA!

[Twelve-60]

You must have a game on the Orange Box Engine for this to work (e.g. TF2, DODs or Portal)

It's 1.7GB

1. Close all steam games and click: Validate CSS BETA and wait for Steam to fully download the GCF.

2. Use GCF Scape to extract the cstrike_beta folder (from "counter-strike source beta content2.gcf") to the SourceMods folder (located in the SteamApps folder)

3. In the cstrike_beta folder, open GameInfo.txt

Replace:
Code:
SteamAppId 260
with
Code:
SteamAppId 440 (or use http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w...pplication_IDs if not using TF2)

4. Rename steam.inf to steam_.inf

5. Restart Steam

6. Right click the new game in your Steam menu, click properties, Set Launch Options: -insecure -secure

CONFIRMED TO WORK WITH TF2, DODS AND PORTAL

[SiennaSkies]

Judging by the videos and screenshots I've seen it looks like shit, the scoreboard takes up the entire screen and has a black background so u cant check the score and play at the same time. Achievements are for pub randoms.

Guess we'll have to wait and see how competitive play is affected.

But rego so far seems borked LOL.
Also they are introducing random crit damage when you get killstreaks...

[SiennaSkies]

And now EVERYONE lags with new interp system so it's more fair More bloodsplats on face than ever before. Just try playing DOD:S or TF2.
