Steam installation issues
So I finally got the Orange Box but steam proves its utter shittiness once again for anyone who doesn't have unlimited bandwidth on high speed internet access. I hope Valve lost lots and lots of revenue for implementing this p.o.s. distribution system.
To the real issue at hand, has anyone successfully installed the 5 Orange Box games without having to download everything from steam? Every time I run the setup program it forces me to go online, then proceeds to download everything, which is impossible since we have bandwidth usage restrictions.
I've checked for fixes to this, including starting the install online, then stopping, going offline, and restarting to force the install from DVD, but if you go offline it dumps the installation and you have to start over. Previous to the OB, I already had an updated version of steam and CS:S installed.
Any ideas?
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
