Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
lol that's like saying 3rd party addons don't need to update their software because it worked with a previous version of valve's software. Simple fact, IE6 is not IE7. Just because something worked in IE6 is not guaranteed to work in IE7. Quoting Father dougal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] how is valve responsable for the soloution ? does sv_downloadurl work with IE6 and later. yes it does take a break have a think and then decide who's to blame On 22/10/06, ShootMe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: So you would like to explain a few million gamers how to disable auto-update from Windows and that they have to update their machines then manually every few weeks? ;-) The only working solution could be that fast-download works without any manual work from a gamer. I'm quiet sure that MS will not provide any fix through auto-update that it works again, so valve is responsible for a solution.

Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I don't use the auto update feature to install the winblows updates, I only use it to tell me that updates are available for download and then I dissallow the auto updates and go directly to the windows update site and download only the updates I want to use. How easy is it to just go check for updates on the site once every few days. Also, based on winblows past performance, we should know never to use anything of theres unless it's mandatory for the first 6 months, until they have fixed all of the bugs. i have a few other desktops that i do use to support the beta software that comes out but i dont use them for anything serious.

RE: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
Although, this is the same bug that people have been reporting forever since IE7 was in Beta and RC stages and nobody took any action on this. Valve didn't take it up with Microsoft, Valve didn't write the work-around code already, Microsoft didn't fix it. Everyone dropped the ball, and now there's a rush to patch the hole now it's actually affecting people out in the wild. Part of the point of the IE7 beta was to ensure that stuff like this didn't happen. I'm glad at least that the rendering glitches that broke the "Get Steam Now" page and others on the Steam website were already fixed. The moral of this tale is, Valve guys, go grab the latest version of Vista you can and install it on a machine, and test your games and Steam on it, make sure it's all great. Make Steam games show up in the Vista Game Explorer. Make Steam play nice with UAC. Play around with extending Aero Glass into the Steam windows so that it looks awesome. Please! Vista is going to RTM real soon now, and it may already be too late to get Microsoft to work any of your feedback into Vista, but it's not too late to make Steam work fantastic on Vista when it starts being publicly available. This is all stuff you're going to have to do eventually anyway, but it just makes sense to get it in the can now ahead of time while it doesn't really matter so you don't have to pull people off other things to rush it when your average Joe starts installing Vista and starts getting really annoyed when Steam inexplicably fails to update any more because UAC is making the update fail. Which is especially tricky because you won't be able to push out the update which fixes Steam failing to update. You'll have to wait until that guy is frustrated enough to hit the Steam website, or start complaining to support. You want to give your customers the best possible experience. Make sure Steam works (and works well, you better support the Vista Games explorer or you're going to look lame) with Vista right out of the box. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Dodd Sent: 22 October 2006 18:48 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue Facts are wonderful things!

RE: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
Hello, Actually looking at the user-supplied fix shows you it's a registry change which is relevant to the Steam client, nothing to actually do with Source (client side or server side). And further investigation shows that the particular registry key is used by the Steam client to remember the last URL for the banner to show inside Steam while an update is downloaded. It would appear that the Steam client shares the same code when downloading data from web servers for game content, and due to a bug somewhere there causes the client to crash (whether it is Valve or Microsoft is impossible to say). Microsoft have changed quite a bit in how Internet Explorer can be embedded with version 7, unlike prior versions which were heavily integrated with the operating system - one of these changes will affect the way Steam creates/destroys the associated window. -- Bart King http://www.bart666.com -- +44 781 219 5654 ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
for me it's not important who is guilty - but it's a fact that with IE 7 (which will come on most gamers machines soon automatically) the fast-download is not working without manual change. other question - why is the built-in download from steam so slow and awfull? if this would be faster, we even will not need something external, right? valve is responsible that the built in download is extremly slow and unacceptable - the sv_downloadurl is just a workaround that they don't have to improve their own download.

Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
Depends whether Valve is using a feature of IE that was guaranteed to never change. Otherwise, with no contractual obligation, it is up to Valve to keep up with changes. My bank, for example, tests for the presence of IE6 and tells me to upgrade to IE6 when I'm running IE7. Who is responsible?

Re: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
So you would like to explain a few million gamers how to disable auto-update from Windows and that they have to update their machines then manually every few weeks? ;-) The only working solution could be that fast-download works without any manual work from a gamer. I'm quiet sure that MS will not provide any fix through auto-update that it works again, so valve is responsible for a solution.
