HLTV bug squashed

24-10-2008 12:28

After a CS update yesterday a number of issues arose, one of them affecting HLTV, today however, hopefully the crash bug is no more.

Yesterday most of you probably noticed that when reconnecting to a HLTV, switching to another HLTV, or when the map was changed on the HLTV that your CS would freeze and crash. We sent a bug report to Valve about this as soon as we noticed it, and Valve notified us this morning that it was fixed. We have tried it out really quick, and it seems to work alright now. Your CS should update automatically via Steam.

Hopefully this was the last HLTV related bug so we can enjoy the rest of the CS action in Dubai without trouble. If you find any other issues please let us know, so we can contact Valve and we can get the bugs eliminated as soon as possible.

nice

*game crashes after connecting to a server for 2nd time. *game crashes when trying to see the scores (+showscores) if there are more players. *random crashes every 5-10 minutes. *worse performance than before the update. *CSDM: everyone spawns in normal respawns and can't buy anything. *randomly get "client timed out while answering challenge " error.

2008-10-24 15:02

Use "playdemo" instead of "viewdemo".

2008-10-24 14:40

nice work, wish they were just as fast with other bug fixes ;D

2008-10-24 14:50

i was watching hltv , match was over , i went to another hltv cs crashed...

2008-10-24 14:51

yeh f*ckin scoreboard :)

2008-10-24 14:51

The game sometimes crashes when you're trying to see the scoreboard (+showscores) if there are players on the server. And there sometimes misses some text on the scoreboard. The game sometimes lags so your ping-time gets highere. (everyone on the server gets a highere ping (10-20+) - and it isn't the server) Some people crashes just after having joined a server, and Counter-strike freezes. People crashes randomly. The game suddenly isn't as smooth as before. Everybody whines about it.

nice. Now the valve could give an update on vac

2008-10-24 15:25

can someone tell me what's the deal with the rates now? If I try so set my cmdrate to 101, cs tells me that 100 is maximum, but if I set it to 100, ex_interp gets forced to 0.1...stupid shit

2008-10-24 15:29

cl_cmdrate is still 101 but your cl_updaterate need to be forced to 100 and then the ex_interp can be 0.01 cl_cmdrate 101 cl_updaterate 100 ex_interp 0.01 - Type it in to your userconfig Thats what I've been told

There are no legal updates for non-steam, therefore we can only recommend you to buy the original game.

2008-10-30 15:09

Really ; i dont want to believe in you Now,is not there another way that i can? Meanwhile, how much is original cd? thank u.

If you do not believe me, fine. I am just telling you the truth, non-steam CS is illegal and therefore any update to it is too illegal. Purchasing CS 1.6 through Steam appears to cost $10 (it includes CS 1.6 and CS:CZ). Other packages you can purchase can be looked up here: store.steampowered.com/app/10/ Some matches are broadcast through streaming but most matches are only available through HLTV.

ok, cs nonsteam is illegal and i am looking for an illegal updating .can i find such a site or link ..? In fact i am still doing same thing:) but not playing this game just watching so i dont want to get it.

But as Valve releases updates to the game, if you are not able to "be updated" you can not use updated features like HLTV. For discussions about illegal software HLTV.org is not the right place.

2008-10-30 21:57

Great. I still want an HLTV on my Non-Steam servers during matches (LAN & others), but since the protocol ain't the same anymore HLTV.org servers won't connect to 47's. Thank you, VALVe! I hope I can get an pirated 48 version asap.

2009-05-03 12:13

BTW, Non-Steam doesn't directly mean it's illegal. Steam and VALVe are two totally different companies. Before Steam got released, people could only play 'Non-Steam'.
