    Use this, it downloads the files directly from Steam and puts them in the correct place for you. Only caveat is that you will need to go into the files to delete the models/humans/ and models/weapons/ folders. (If you don't do this you'll be missing some animations/ everyone will have "crotch guns") The SteamCMD method (Which this uses) is the only free and legal way to get the assets.
  • CSS Textures?
    1 project | /r/TTT | 19 Sep 2021
    This is the best method and 100% legal as it used SteamCMD to download the assets directly from valve. Only caveat when you use this (or any method that isn't using gmods mounting system) is that you will need to delete some files after its finished installing. Delete the models/ weapons folder and the models/ humans folder. If you don't delete these you will have the crotch gun bug and be missing gmod specific animations like swimming or noclip floating.
  • Does anyone know why CS:S fallback textures don't work anymore?
    1 project | /r/TTT | 21 Mar 2021
    Use this. (100% legal) https://github.com/ITS-NIGHTOWL/CSSource-Texture-Installer/
  • why are my guns white

    Delete the addon for it you currently use. Use this instead.
  • CSS Texture Mods (Get Rid of that Dreaded Purple!)
    1 project | /r/gmod | 4 Jan 2021
    The better alternative is downloading the CSS assets using this https://github.com/ITS-NIGHTOWL/CSSource-Texture-Installer/ which is 100% legal and is effectively just a wrapper for steamcmd and downloads the assets directly from Steam. That will solve 90% of users issues, getting HL2:E2 on steam will solve the next 9% and the final 1% can be solved by the valve complete pack or removing dodgy addons.

  • high ping on closest server only in csgo

    If you want to test ping and routing directly to the closest Valve server site, the IPs are publicly available.
  • Why is Steam still stuck on 32-bit in 2022?
    1 project | /r/Steam | 19 Dec 2022
    The 32-bit version of Steam works, so they’ve not bothered to compile 64-bit binaries for 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux. There’s already a mechanism in the Steam client updater for delivering different binaries depending on version of the OS and 32/64 bit, take a look at the client manifest and note the variations of “bins_cef_win32” for “win10-64”, “win7”, etc. So, it wouldn’t be a lot of work to distribute 64-bit versions of the other Steam client binaries because they could use the same mechanism to deliver them.

  • TF2 update for 7/27/22
    2 projects | /r/tf2 | 27 Jul 2022
    The new cluster has been up for a couple of months already, but seeing as it only just now got its string it's worth mentioning anyway: the EU West server cluster (as it's known in Dota 2 and CS:GO) has been relocated from Luxembourg to Frankfurt, Germany
  • Steam slow on M1
    1 project | /r/Steam | 22 Jun 2022
    It really does suck that they've not put out an Apple Silicon / arm64 update, I'm sure that just switching the Intel version of Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) in the Steam Helper for an arm64 would help a lot. They put out multiple versions of the web helper and CEF binaries for Windows so that they can support 32-bit Windows 7 as well as newer 64-bit versions of Windows, but according to the Steam Hardware Survey, only 0.12% of Steam users use 32-bit Windows 7, while 0.89% of Steam users are using Apple Silicon CPUs (40.7% of Macs on Steam are using Apple Silicon CPUs, 2.2% of Steam users are on macOS, 2.2 * 40.7/100 = 0.89)
  • Excellent job Steam, perfect spacing
    1 project | /r/Steam | 10 Jun 2022
    Steam itself draws everything in its own windows, including the 'traffic light' buttons which are weirdly spaced in the OP's picture. They're actually TGA images distributed with Steam, not part of the OS.
  • It appears that Doug Lombardi, Valve's "Vice President of Marketing" who occasionally provided statements to the press, has left Valve. Kaci Aitchison succeeds Doug as Valve's new press contact for inquiries (as of sometime earlier this year or late last).
    1 project | /r/DotA2 | 29 Mar 2022
    Real answer: the SteamTracking repo (not to be confused with GameTracking, which facilitates and provides rapid teardowns) has a list of URLs it keeps eyes on, one of those being Valve's people page. Its frequency used to provide updates as quick as 15 minutes, but these days it's been relaxed to around once an hour, a short time after the top of the hour.
  • Does anyone have this problem where an unknown user sign into your account the same time as you?

    OS type have next values:
  • Steam controller firmware
    1 project | /r/SteamController | 9 Nov 2021
    I've managed to find older versions, but not that Bluetooth BLE firmware version. It seems to have never been included in the firmware.vdf https://github.com/SteamDatabase/SteamTracking/blob/master/Random/ControllerFirmware.vdf
  • Steam Store preview on the Steam Deck (called Tablet Mode)
    1 project | /r/pcgaming | 30 Oct 2021
    xPaw (guy from twitter and SteamDB owner) is a data miner, so he tracks every Steam's API update, he even makes it public, so anyone could also compile and do the same thing from his screenshot.
