Steam 3.0

daRk_heLmet · Oct 8, 2005, 07:41 PM

To get the new steam gui 3.0 beta add

-clientbeta betaui

to the launch properties for steam.exe

1. Right click on the steam icon
2. Click properties
3. Go to target and add " -clientbeta betaui" (w/o quotes)
4. Look at [color=#d8ded3]this[/color] if still confused

[color=#d8ded3]Preview #1(large gui)[/color]
[color=#d8ded3]Preview #2(small gui)[/color]

Wow! looks soo much better!

SFOSOK · Oct 8, 2005, 11:25 PM

How much better is it? is it the same steam we all love to hate and want to be destroyed or a completely revamped system.

It probably just looks prettier, I'll go see for myself.

Edit: nice find but where did you find it?

CDsDontBurn · Oct 8, 2005, 11:35 PM

very nice, very nice

. will do this when i get home and check it out myself

SFOSOK · Oct 9, 2005, 02:33 AM

Too bad I'm not on my new comp or I would be downloading all the mods for HL2.

Edit: I like this version better for the mod support because it gives you a simple list and seperates the mods for either HL1 or 2, I also heard that they will put the most popular mods in like a top 10 type deal for HL2.

Either edit your registry entry for steam to start automatically
and add the needed string . Or simply uncheck start steam with
windows in the steam settings

Sandok · Oct 9, 2005, 12:38 PM

Oh just wait it's soon out in full.

CDsDontBurn · Oct 9, 2005, 06:31 PM

i saw that while it was updating CS:S under "my games" it showed that i have Lost Coast

Yeah I was about to ask if anyone else has it. Anybody knows when it comes out?

interspaced · Oct 9, 2005, 08:47 PM

next week i expect, ahead of the release of rag doll kung fu

Randomletters · Oct 9, 2005, 09:23 PM

Are the free games any fun? I just installed Steam probibly getting the silver pack in a couple weeks but in the mean time i see all these free games, Anyone like any of them?

interspaced · Oct 10, 2005, 08:46 PM

I suggest you get the sliver package quickly before the release of the new steam since they're changing the prices. In the new steam beta they are selling half life 2 for $39.95 without CS:S and the source permier pack for $59.95 which includes all currently released source games but NO valve back catalouge. This means that you'll be getting less for the same amount of money.

As for the free games, on steam alone there's codename gorden which is a fun 2d sidescroller but that doesn't last long. For the mods you'll simply have to try them out and see what you like and dislike.

SFOSOK · Oct 11, 2005, 09:18 AM

I think my modification of the HL2.exe has gotten me permanently banned from all VAC server. It says some type of Steam ticket error or something.

I dunno what to do I reverted back still nothing.

daedal · Oct 11, 2005, 11:52 AM

Looks and feels much better.

What did you do?

SFOSOK · Oct 11, 2005, 09:42 PM

Just modified the .exe at the end to get steam 3.0 to update as listed. Since then I can't seem to join vac severs. I changed it bakc and did quiet a few different registry cleaners because VAC looks for that footprint of there ever being ahack of modification to .exe on your computer. I found something similiar happen to someone else on the steam forums.

Dunno if it is the same deal.

Unless you had cheats loaded, I say no it's not the same deal,

"Now, I do have cheats on my computer, for watching demos and looking for wallspam spots on maps (on non-secure servers or HLTV demos) So I do admit to having a cheat and x-spec on my HD."

You don't modify the actual EXE just the command line used to launch
steam.exe right?. Your not banned for useing the beta client, just for eather
cheating, useing tools that could be used to cheat, VAC scans your game
files and system memory, if it sees a cheat you get banned.

Sandok · Oct 12, 2005, 12:55 PM

It is official

try to delete the clientregistry.blob in the steam folder, it will redownload and set up next time u log on and hopefully work again for you

SFOSOK · Oct 12, 2005, 07:55 PM

its allright I finally fixed the problem with enough reloading of steam and goin into a game each time to be kicked. Took 20 times but eventually got it goin

Essence · Oct 17, 2005, 02:23 PM

I like the old look better than the new one. I think Steam 2.0 was less complicated.

SFOSOK · Oct 17, 2005, 11:19 PM

The new one looks like the barbie revision, hopefully they will do more that a face lift on it. Heck, maybe they'll destroy it all together f we are lucky.
