This is not exactly a steam deal in a direct ways but it means a great deal to both steam user and developers -

 

 

This week, Team Fortress 2 became one of the last games to switch over from Steam’s old content delivery system to SteamPipe. Once the switch-over’s complete, the game will boot more promptly and maps will load a little faster - but you probably won’t register the difference any more than you do the face of the man who brings your Amazon parcels to the door.Before then, though, you’ll have to sit through a 20 to 30 minute “conversion process”.
But what is SteamPipe? What’s it for, and what does it mean for your games?
The first thing to understand is that SteamPipe uses HTTP to transfer game data, replacing the old Steam2 content delivery system. This is important for a few reasons: it means that Steam data can fly more easily between firewalls, and makes it easier for Valve to use third party HTTP caches and content delivery networks to speed up downloads.
At a more granular level, SteamPipe also allows for ‘delta updating’ - meaning that only changes to code need to be updated, which should make for quicker and easier patching. You’ll also notice that you’re able to browse the file structure of games downloaded via SteamPipe, rather than having them hidden away in .gcf files.
SteamPipe has also allowed for a new feature within Steam: the ability to set download rates.
But it’s on the developer side of things that the new system will really make itself known.
In the traditional Steam update process, there’s a period of ‘approval’ - after developers submit their patch to Valve, and before it arrives on Steam. SteamPipe changes that. In practical terms, the new delivery system will mean that developers are able to upload and issue patches themselves, without any manual intervention whatsoever. They’ll be able to push out updates at opportune moments and in line with announcements. They’ll be able to warn players about the larger ones beforehand, and monitor and fix any problems at their own pace.
SteamPipe also gives flexibility within Steam for developers to branch their code and manage access to betas without hosting their own content servers. And code is slightly more secure: old versions of their games are now unavailable to curious eyes.
But SteamPipe comes with an inconvenience. If you’re a regular user of Steam, you’ll have seen the pop-up explaining that Steam has to update the game to a new content system. That is the conversion process; a new version of the game is created from the old files, before the previous version is deleted. The update process can take a long time: Valve themselves quote at least a 15 minute wait when you next start Team Fortress 2.

Okay why don't you both try to re-install STEAM and see if that sorts out your issue.

 

Save already downloaded content by copying and pasting the STEAMApps folder (entirely). Next uninstall STEAM.

 

Download the client package from STEAM site, install it in whichever directory you want. Over-write the STEAMApps folder with your own. Now try downloading content.

 

Also just to be on the safer side, always terminate / pause download before taking off the internet connection.

 

Hope this helps, Cheerio!

 

P.S. -- Post here if you need picture guide to explain the process.

Ah! That is where you are wrong, way wrong.

 

Most games, just want to bombard you with adult content, profanities and other thingamajigs. And multi-player cannot be regulated to the point of death.

 

Spec Ops falls in a different category for me, it is akin to reading a book, one whose ending you can second guess very early on but nevertheless you play it. And if you understand the game then you realize what makes it stand so tall. Its shooting mechanics are base (although gun-play itself is good), the cover system is almost broken but the narrative is the draw and if at the end of it you don't realize how the game is trying to portray the genre then best skip the title.

So why exactly is Spec Ops not good for him, considering his age?

 

It sounds like you're saying "Don't play this one, you're too young to handle the disappointment of a bad game" :bigyellowgrin: .

No, that is not what I meant.

 

What I wanted to put across is that if you don't get the thematic undertone of the game after playing it, no point. Looking at it like another third person shooter is not going to cut it. Considerable time and thought has to be put into the games background. I would strongly urge everyone who has completed the game to read the book -- Heart of Darkness, to better understand what the game is trying to achieve.

 

This is not about war or anti-war, this about you as a consumer of violent video games and the same image reflecting back on you.

 

Also calling the game bad is your interpretation of my words, I am just expressing what others already have said and personally I have played through thrice.

 

If you have finished the game, please watch this video --

Not played that game. I don't do single player games anymore. BF3 has indulged me.

 

Quite understandable, to each their own.
