VALVE RESPONDS!
April 22, 2009 4:09 pm - Valve - Product Update

It has come to our attention that a small amount of players are unhappy with recent updates to the Half-Life Counter-Strike updates that were released on April 20, 2009. Future threads on the Steam Powered forums about this update may result in a ban. The update was pushed to resolve the exploit known as the "Russian Walking" exploit and will not be undone. The Valve team has reviewed the updates and concluded that no further action is to be taken on this issue. The Valve team will continue to support the Half-Life Counter-Strike community in the future and has plans to continue to improve the game as more exploits are brought to our attention. Thank you.


Updates to Counter-Strike and Condition Zero have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:

Counter-Strike and Condition Zero

* Prevent Russian Walking exploit


Server changes

* Fixed players being kicked from servers with an INVALID_STEAM_TICKET rejection
* Added a message to the server console to show when the server has reconnected to Steam
* Made map name and other variables reported by the server stay more current

* Show HLTV being connected in the player count for pings
* Fixed HLTV staying in players list even after disconnect
* Fixed server hang when a user connects with a specially crafted info string
* Fixed occasional crash under Linux on startup for SMP machines (Linux)
* Cleaned up hlds_run script (Linux)

2009-04-22 21:26:36

this news was for a short time in the -steam powered forums-
but actualy they edited the news after a short time.
2009-04-23 16:09:29
valve can only blemish the game with such things. For a realistic gameplay they can rape CS source
2009-04-22 21:27:30

2009-04-22 23:27:08
"small amount"

90% to Valve is small, ok?

"The Valve team will continue to support the Half-Life Counter-Strike community in the future and has plans to continue to improve the game as more exploits are brought to our attention."

Ok, So you(Valve) has been asleep for a couple of years now and suddenly you want to update 1.6! But you seem a little bit tired since you have just added more bugs and really, you didnt affect russian jumping that much. We can hear it better now, THAT'S IT!

ggpcw Valve.
2009-04-22 23:47:26

2009-04-23 12:35:13

2009-04-23 12:48:19
"The Valve team will continue to support the Half-Life Counter-Strike community"

it would be nice if they supported this community the way it actually wants to be supported.
2009-04-23 13:06:28
I seriously Think about quitting and just try and see where CSPromod is gonna go....

Retarded valve crap...
2009-04-23 17:36:58
So..
They r going to "Fix the wrong sounds being played on jump" or "The update was pushed to resolve the exploit and will not be undone" ?
2009-04-23 17:40:13
in lan teams will play with non becouse steam died X_X :D
2009-04-23 18:28:25
"small amount"

Yeah..........lol I strongly disagree, more like 90% of the CS players on the planet.

good update! I think that only the noobs are whining. So that's still small amount. If 90% from all the players were whining that would make some difference. This isn't a major update so basically no one really cares. The progaming are turning back in to time were people didn't use bunnyjump nor russian walk. Big deal?
2009-04-23 20:46:59
Wowm you're an idiot. It's not about the russian walk, which still works - it's about the fact you can't jump without making a noise anymore.
2009-04-23 20:57:44
boost in window on inferno = suicide
2009-04-23 21:15:33
cts try to retake b bombsite from hole = suicide.
2009-04-23 21:31:10
SMALL AMOUNT LOL what are they thinking

the jumpsound can only be heard by u self ?, i mixed 2on2 with a m8 , and he's a ninja xD . when i started to make stepsound and let the enemy hear us , he go nuts -.- . anyway , I came to jump in-game , and then i wait for he go crazy again , but he say nothing . So I ask him , if he could hear my jump , he say no .. so I jumped again , again and again in front of him , but he couldn't hear the step sound ? , soo , yup ?
2009-05-03 00:06:12
In conclusion they want us to buy CS Source for crying out loud. If there will be no more duck-jump at least they could have left the bhop on. :|:| This update is such a failure. :|
