Big Steam Update Tonight

A new Steam update should be rolling out right now. There is a huge list of changes, including a fix for D3D problems and shield exploit fix. As usual, you will need to restart Steam in order to download the update automatically. You can find the entire change-log on the Steam website. Perhaps now the shield will be bug-free and ready for league play. Or perhaps not, only time will tell.

Steam Games - Update Tonight
December 10, 2003, 2:20 pm � Greg Coomer

An update for all Steam games will be released tonight at approximately 7:00 pm PST (03:00 GMT). Here's a complete list of the changes:

ALL GAMES:

» Fixed problem in Direct3D mode where the game would be unavailable for some users. Direct3D mode should work now, but note that OpenGL will provide a better play experience if your video card is capable
» Fixed regression that was causing the 'load failed' crash to happen on level change
» Optimized some of the particle drawing code
» For mod makers - debugging mods no longer requires the steam.dll to be copied into the game directory

COUNTER-STRIKE:

» Fixed shield exploit that involved dropping a weapon and buying a pistol in a specific order; you must restart your dedicated server to pick up this change
