Well i for one format every month or so... What i do with CSs is simple...

backup using the inbuilt backup steam utility...(Use the DVD option)

now format your PC...

After the fresh installation go to www.steampowered.com and download steam(approx 600 KB)

Now update the staem application....

After its updated close steam and apply your backup file...

After the restoratrion staem will take approx 2 mins to completely update.... It will not download anything but will just verify files which can take anywhere from 2 to 15 mins depending on your speed...

You are all done...

Hope this helped...

For further queries go to www.steampowered.com forums section...
P.S. The steam backup utility saves all the downloaded offcial updates but be warned no gamesaves/server addresses/mods will be backed up...

Instead of that, just burn the steamapp folder and restore it after a fresh install man, it restores everything including custom maps, custom sounds and server favs that u might have saved..

Few guys at Ti think they are too good... And yes about the teleportation and cheating lot of the admins even do that at times...

I wish i had good pings there... BTW if you ever see LagMan playing there... its me...

Lets not get started on the guys @ Ti (rave not included ;)) ;) Lets stick to the topic :p

I was chatting with funky since a lot of guys arent comfortable with sgwargames. So we could pay the money to funky and ask him to host the server for us.

Welll no offense meant to funky but servers at SG would be more realible cause they are pro's at it... Also the bandwidth cost here in india is a lot more then in SG not to mention the cool features(Ranks/Mods) we can have at SG. And last but the most importantly funky will have to put a 24/7 dedicated machine which i dont think is practically possible... I know funky is a great guy and he will go miles to see that it operates somoothly but i dont think its practicle... Just my thought...

But in anycase i am with you guys on any decision... Even if you choose to go the funky's way i am still game for it...

And Funky... No offences meant to you mate... I hope you will understand my concerens :)

OT: I was just playing on Ti server and the admin teleported me when i was diffusing... When i called him lame he abused me and asked me to leave... I did left the game but only after kicking him in butt... Killing him twice in a row... I will not be visiting the Ti Server anymore... Vunami as he calls him... a big lamer...

Anyways... back on to the topic... Guys do confirm soon if you are serious abt renting a server... I am very much interested in it now...

Sorry dude.....

I SUCK at CS. Maybe later once I polish up my skills a little bit. And I mean, I really suck.

And when you say a fee of 150-200 Rs, do you mean per month or what??

I get a pocketmoney of 400 a month. so, you see, paying 200 or so a month is not justified. I will spend 90% of the time dead and just being a spectator. and will not have enough for the month.

I wouldn't mind paying if I could.... actually 200 bucks or so a month for is pretty reasonable. but as you say
but then if pocket money is an issue , then its ok

It is. It is an issue. And if I could afford it, I would pay just to have fun. I will certainly improve my game that way
