+ Its like only R100 more for the set and you wouldn't have to download the entire game (saving a bit of money too) that is unless you can borrow a dvd.
And what ever game you already have you can give to friends (or random people as I tried to do)
The Orange Box: the gift that keeps on giving.
Hey everyone, finally gave in and bought the Orange Box.
The problem is -there seems to now be an update for Steam that Steam won't download. It gets to 14% then goes back to 0% (unless it's downloading different things and that how it works).
So now that I finally have these games, Steam doesn't want to update, so I can't install, so I can't patch and therefore can't play.
Is it possible for someone to send me the updated...*Nevermind* can you believe it -Steam finally finished updating now -so begins the install/verification/update and I can finally begin playing Half-Life 2

When steam updates and you switch windows, then switch back to steam the GUI doesn't update right away so it "appears" to have gone to 0% ;)

It's because you're a praying mantis :-/
I am beginning to see how good TF2 is.
there's a lot of adjustment from your typical MP-FPS but it grows on you.
I'm still trying to get the spy down to an point where I know what to do. I usually end up being smashed. Killed a few heavies though.
Demo and spy are prob the hardest to play but the most powerful.
No it finished downloading the Steam Updates, but now it's downloading another lot of Steam Platform updates.
Any idea how big these Steam updates are altogether?
I wish their were TF2 bots, there's no way I can play over internet with my connection.
Hey James
I also had problems when I installed steam, it would get to a certain point then just stop.
I just reinstalled steam and the update then went right through.
AFAIK Steam + Orange Box updates together are just short of 200mb
TF2 Bots: Looks like they are in the pipeline

@James
Why'd you ge it then? And why post it on the TF2 thread if not for TF2?
I got the Orange Box -so Team Fortress 2 for me is a bonus, not a requirement.
I might play TF2 when I get a better connection, but right now I'm needing help with Steam and this is the only thread that made sense to post in.
Would anyone be able to post their updated Steam files (leaving out the games of course) this update just won't update and I've tried all the solutions on Steam's site.
Have you tried what I suggested, I haven't read steams suggestions.
Yes, I reinstalled -didn't help I'm afraid :(
hmm. Will give it a think.

Boohoo, I'm not alone -the new Steam update just doesn't like *edit* okay I don't know. All these people suffer the exact same problem. This sucks because it was working just fine before this latest update and now that I get the Orange Box there's a patch for some insignificant problem that causes hell.
Are the update files those 30kb 'Steamexe_23734' files? I have four of them.

i love TF2.. but i get kicked for a high ping level on most servers.. blarg
anywhayz, i read that the solider can do some kind o Rocket jump, if this is possible could anyone tell how.. thanx ppl
Yeah, I've also got know clue on how to raocket jump, my attempts have been disastorous at best.
So far my favourite class would be pyro. I don't get a lot of kills but I can soften the enemy up for the rest of my team.
Soilder, scout and demoman are also fun but I can't seem to master heavy.
To rocket jump, point the rocketlauncher at the floor, jump, and whilst in mid flight, fire the rocket. Be sure to time accordingly to have the rocket impact at the apex of the jump.
Thanks.
Damn, I love this games style-the cartoony style, the modern-industrial setting I could go on. Everything about it appeals to me.
It's so awesome.
Double post, dammit!!
