That's actually a pretty nice deal. I'm hoping they'll do that with Left 4 Dead 2 as well, on release. (Which I think they did with Left 4 Dead 1 on release, too? I can't remember.)

I already own it, but every Steam deal always tempt me to just buy the game even if i don't want it.....T_T

great deal, I picked up the 360 version for $9 on clearance, I would probably jump on this if steam wasnt broken with router setups.

Fairly simple port forwarding setups can quickly resolve any and all router issues you may have w/ steam.

I'm behind my own router + whatever router the campus has...and I rock my games on steam w/ no problems.

Nope! not for me, I've browsed the internet for days and my router (DGL-4500 Xtreme Gaming Router) even has options specifically for Steam games, and my brother has the exact same router. (we got them on sale on tigerdirect) So with identical setups we still arent able to connect. DMZ, firewall on pc and router off, antivirus off, steam ports forward via automatic settings AND manually entered settings, nothing works for me connecting to him. It all just keeps saying in console "No heartbeat, no authentication" when we create a server, but we can connect to other servers just fine and play together. But we cannot connect to each other, and it sucks that "sv_lan 0" console command doesnt work anymore. Any ideas would be appreciated as I've really wanted to play steam for awhile now.

no offense, but you wasted your money on a glorified crap router. i've always had bad luck with D-Link routers and anything that claims its for gaming (regardless of brand), is just a marketing tactic. do some research on routers and get yourself a quality router. also, look into DD-WRT if you're into tweaking.

if you're stuck with that router, have you tried turning the steam functions off (if possible)? have you upgraded the firmware?

Does anybody know how long this sale is for ?
Thanks,

Firmware is up to date, and Steam is the only thing I've had problems with after getting this router. I've had several of those routers you by at retail stores, belkin g,n,n+ ...netgears, those ol-reliable blue wrt45g's (or something similar) and I've always had issues with networking games. So I dont think I've wasted my money.

How do I turn off the steam functions? Through steam?
 
bapenguin at 05:04 PM on 9.30.2009
Make sure your Windows Firewall is disabled. I have the same router from D-LInk and have no problems at all.
 
Jackel at 06:04 PM on 9.30.2009
Are you running a full on dedicated server that your brother is trying to connect to,
or creating your own lobby and making the game temp host on your PC?

If you are trying to plan a lan game (across the internet) hamachi is always available

I believe we disabled WF, and we were trying listen servers. I'm going to see if we can try again tonight. Bapenguin, do you use port forwarding via the default steam option on there?

edit: Ok just tried it, both firewalls off, wired connection via same router on both systems. Ports enabled in router exceptions.


counter strike source > create server with password. Trying to join via friends list it always says "Server not responding" on other parties computer. Also doesn't list server under friends tab in find servers window in game. We're pretty much default steam settings on both computers since we rebuilt a few months back. Is there something I'm missing?

Disable NAT.
 
Shazoo at 09:07 PM on 9.30.2009


Won't that make it so I can't use anything else online at the sametime though? I have 3 consoles, 2 DS'es, a PSP, a PC and a laptop that all connect. (not at the sametime have you, but sometimes 2 or 3 together)

Tempted to go ahead and get this for such a low price, considering all the DLC is free. However, I'll likely go ahead and get the 360 DLC for the couch co-op factor.
 
Nuhru at 06:45 AM on 10.1.2009

I don't think so.. like... I have few PCs and sometimes iPod connected with my router... I'm not exactly sure what you mean.. but.. you can use multiple devices even without NAT.
 
smurphster at 08:31 AM on 10.1.2009
it depends on your ISP. if you disable NAT, you're essentially turning your router into a switch making all devices live on the internet with no local network address space. many ISPs will only allow one IP on your connection so this would not work. disabling NAT is a BAD idea unless you have solid firewalls on all PCs.
