How accurate is the info on http://www.demon.net/games/half-life/ these days ? I haven't played CS or TFC for over a year (although it all worked fine before I went away), so I downloaded and installed hl1108.exe and csv13full.exe as the page instructs, but on trying to start a multiplayer game was immediately told my executable was out of date and I needed to upgrade to 1.1.1.something... yet another 80MB download using HalfLife's own auto-update this time. And how long should it take to get the ~30000 long server list these days ? I cancelled it after taking half an hour to get 10000 servers but couldn't find the Demon ones in there. Picking a random one just caused HalfLife to bomb out, and using "Add IP" to add the Demon servers doesn't seem to make them appear. I've recently got ADSL and am behind a NAT-translating router... could be a problem ??? Thanks for any help Tim
