I hate steam so much more now

o_pixel · 09-15-2006, 12:10 AM

steam stopped working so I reinstalled it but it deleted all the files including my crappy map I was working on

Circuitous · 09-15-2006, 12:21 AM

Aw!

I like how you just up and re-installed it instead of trying to fix it or anything.

o_ghost · 09-15-2006, 01:18 AM

You reinstalled it without making sure your crappy map wasn't backed up first?

o_nodnarb · 09-15-2006, 01:32 AM

ahh, poor pixel, maybe going here would have saved your crappy map

It is a shame you lack the intelligence to back up your files before doing anything drastic, or not so drastic in this case :P

Lost · 09-15-2006, 03:48 PM

I'd have to say that if something pooched Steam bad enough for me to uninstall it, I'd be pissed if I couldn't back up the 12 gigs of shit I have downloaded already.

mapper rule #1: Make backups!

o_etzell · 09-15-2006, 09:43 PM

It's Steam's fault you don't have foresight. KILL!

o_sh4x · 09-15-2006, 10:31 PM

lol seriously.

I always make backups, ALWAYS.

If I was to lose just a day of work in hammer I think I'd give up on the map and probably on hammer too.

o_donny · 09-15-2006, 10:43 PM

So are you guys trying to say that steam doesnt suck? When did hell freeze 2nd time? (first time was when Finland won eurovision song contest)

o_dancingfool · 09-15-2006, 11:04 PM

Hell froze over when the glorious vikings when extinct.

o_machinehead · 09-16-2006, 12:32 AM

I did the same thing a few months back and I thought it wont delete my custom content duh 3 months of work gone.
I did manage to use this http://www.thejunkshop.net/Downloads/details/id=7.html
And got back some of my files but it takes time. Now I have my vmf's on another driver and a zip of the vmf's on a 3rd drive

It's never sucked the whole time I've used it, but that's a matter of opinion and being able to handle any issues that come up.

o_sh4x · 09-16-2006, 03:32 AM

Instead of writting CDs of vmfs you can just email them to your yahoo, hotmail or gmail account. A compressed vmf is pretty small, maybe even smaller than your weener.

o_nodnarb · 09-16-2006, 01:08 PM

umm system restore anybody???

as your computer is restarting press f8 untill a screen comes up pick safemode (with what ever you want i.e. networking) when you select your username there will be a screen that will come up as you are starting your profile. Click ok (I think) and then restore your computer to before you deleted steam

o_player · 09-16-2006, 05:53 PM

I, like many others, have System Restore turned off :P

o_darksoul · 09-16-2006, 06:29 PM

steams shit?

i think its about 500x better than won days.

o_donny · 09-16-2006, 08:41 PM

I like the idea of steam, the way you'll get up-to-date files for the game, but I dont like the fact that sometimes, stuff get fucked up because of updates.

Steam aint shit, but sometimes, the updates mess things up.

o_coolpot · 09-16-2006, 09:43 PM

when you say ur mod had disappeared,,,

did you try and delete the clienregistry.blob file?

If u re-install steam and then copy the whole steam folder over the top u need to delete that file and then re-run steam.

backup the file before u delete it!!
