b) Install the patch on the Valve folder (C:\Program files\Valve\)
2.0. Patch Compability and Information
2.1. About the Patches
A patch is something like an update. They were released almost every month when CS 1.6 was still new. They mostly include bug fixes, small graphic updates,game balancing fixes, new console commands and etc. In most patches the updates are mostly for Valve online gaming, so you might not notice a big difference between them.
2.2. Compability Between Patches
Note: If you have a different patch then the server you are trying to join, you are most likely to not see the server at all.
I know v22 is compatible with v23, but v24 and after are not compatible with v22.
If you have a newer patch installed, you cannot patch back to an older version, but instead, you will have to re-install CS 1.6, and then install the older patch.
The default patch for GG Gaming Client is v22. You can find it in the Download section.
3.0 FAQ
Q: I have installed CS 1.6 and the patch, but I still can’t see the games. What’s going on?
A: Probably there are no servers created, or you have no connection between the host.
Q: How do I gain connection to the host?
A: Find the host in the player’s list and GG Tunnel him. If you get a ping, then try refreshing the LAN on CS.
Q: I joined the game, but it’s too laggy and I can barely play. How can I fix this?
A: The only thing you can do is close all internet-consuming programs, such as MSN, Skype, Yahoo!, utorrent, dc++ and IE.
Q: What would be the proper latency to play CS 1.6?
A: If your latency with the host is between 0 to 150 you can still play normally, beyond that you will most likely get killed by lag.
