Re: Steam related discussions
Post FUP, speed hikes are great. Feels like proper broadband
That is a completely different issue that normal post FUP speed is horrible. Even watching videos in youtube becomes a pain.
Upgrade your broadband plan!Only time i got speeds like that, is post FUP.

Those thunder plans from Reliance seem quite good. But no reliance broadband here.
Even I get 512 KB/s after FUP. But its just about enough to browse. In that speed videos at only 240p work with without buffering!Post FUP, i am getting 512Kb/s. Which is quite ok. I am going to get Reliance in a couple of months. 2MB u/l for 750 Rs. No FUP ****.

In comparison to reliance, BSNL has utterly retarded plans as well as service. Pings are nowadays going upto 300ms for Indian servers during the day. Thinking about changing to reliance but I didn't have a good experience with them when I wanted to apply for a connection.
How's their service? Better than BSNL? And how are the gaming pings?Post FUP, i am getting 512Kb/s. Which is quite ok. I am going to get Reliance in a couple of months. 2MB u/l for 750 Rs. No FUP ****.

^^ If you have Disc, then install from Disc, copy the installed folder to <Steam Folder>\common\steamApps folder. Then install from Steam, it will recognize the installed files, so it will not download and install the game.

Re: Steam related discussions
The orange box was released in 2007. 5-6 years later you expect that the game won't need updates?

Yea, mostly updated will not take much bandwidth. Around 200-500MB max.

Re: Steam related discussions
heh, try left 4dead2, you will have to download additional 6gb[2yrs ago], now 8GB extra after installing from the disc
reason: extra new campaigns have been added increasing game size on disk

Apart from that they have changed the way the data is stored on the HDD. So the disc install is virtually useless now.

that's the main purpose of steam, seamless updates.
your disc contains 6 year old files, the game received many updates since.
and as Extreme gamer said most of the games are converted to new content system on steam. any retail disc that's on old content system is mostly useless.

Re: Steam related discussions
Cant I just play the old version right away? Lets say Half Life Ep 1 its a prequel to Ep 2 so what is there to update. And while installing from disc 1 it started downloading updates and it hasnt asked for Disc 2 yet. Dammit after Disc 2 they r gnna ask for more updates. I just wanna play Half Life series the way it was 7 yrs ago I dnt want no friggin updates

The game has been updated several times after the retail game DVD was manufactured. Even the format of how game data is stored on PC is changed. Retail DVD is useless. You'll have to download or find someone who has updated Steam back-ups for this game.
Even 7 years ago, Steam was needed to play Half Life 2.
