Steam: this weekend DODS is free DoD: Source Free Weekend Zips @ 5:46 pm pst - steam updates - 17 comments Haven't had a chance to try Day of Defeat: Source yet? Been unsure as to if you want to take the plunge and purchase the game? Well, now is your chance to get a taste of Day of Defeat: Source for free! Valve is hosting a free DoD: Source weekend from February 10th to the 12th. All you need is Steam and the DoD: Source files pre-loaded onto your machine (or wait until the weekend of the event to download, if you so choose to). This weekend Valve is inviting everyone to try Day of Defeat: Source for free via Steam. Visit Steampowered.com to pre-load the game and be set to play at 12:00 pm PST on Friday, when the Free Weekend begins. Join the ranks as Axis or Allies troops located in Western Europe during the height of the war in 1944. (source: www.csnation.net and steampowered.com)
it will run, how well depends on how "shitty" the PC actually is, runs fine on mine on medium settings and i would say my pc is shitty
Yes its a VERY smart marketing trick and VERY well timed with the release of DODS retail. Cudos to whoever thought of this marketing idea its good for everybody.
cool never playd dod in my life........must be sad if Walterppk plays it nah im only jokin m8 im sorrrryyyyyyy
everytime i try to preload it, it just crashes both the explorer window i used to pre load it and the dod source preload window.. any ideas wtf is going on ?
In a word: no. You might wanna try to erase the local content and retry and if that doesnt work go ask on the steampowered.com forums.
hmmm the thing is it doesnt appear in mygames, to preload it i have to go to the steam website and click on preload now :S
If anyone has any doubt as to whether this games worth buying, u dont even need the free weekend. just download that "prelude to victory" video from steam. It rocks ass!! http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=dodFreeWeekend (links at the bottom of that page)
ofc I have doubt if the games worth buying if I didnt Id probably own it already. Guys we could arrange a DODS interclan war for that weekedn?
can anyone tell me what this means because i downloaded dod today and when i try to get on a server its says this to me all the time (Mod_LoadSpriteGroup: interval <=0)
what computer do you have? give us the specs man coz breaker sais he got a shitty pc but he might mean a pentium 3 whle U mean with you shitty pc, a pentium 1 166 megahertz
meaty's problem is unrelated to the thread isnt it? Youre talking DoD where the subject ehre is DoDS. Might wnna make a new one to prevent mistakes... Im sorry I cant seee a solution for ur problem.
my shitty PC happens to be: AMD Athlon XP 2200+ ATi Radeon 9600 768MB of awful RAM (i mean super awful) Creative Audigy somit or other (used to know this one)
nah ive sorted it now thx.........and how long will this pre-load take to do by any chance?? im very impatient
