[FIXED] Error - "Steam is temporarily unavailable, please try later"... [FIX] Steam unable to update after fresh install

Error "Steam is temporarily unavailable, please try later..." while the steam client remains at 0 % completed always and after that shows this message, I have just found the solution which fixes this problem. I formatted my pc and installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, after that steam was giving this error, i just tried everything, firewall, ports, deleted clientregistry.blob, appcachesettings.blob, formatted 2 times, registry cleaners etc ... Still THE PROBLEM WASNT FIXED.

I just remembered that before formatting I copied the whole steam folder from c:\program files\steam (earlier I had 32 bit), to some other location (E:\Steam), just in case of need of any setting or cfg or demo/ maps files.

Now I just replaced the old steam.exe that comes with that 1.5 MB setup with this new one. And deleted clientregistry.blob and ran the file without any compatibility mode or whatsoever. It just ran fine, it updated successfully.

So here what you have to do ...

Step 1

Download and install the steam client from here http://cdn.steampowered.com/download/SteamInstall.msi

Step 2

After Installing it would have ran automatically and you got the error "Steam is temporarily unavailable, please try later...". Now, goto your steam directory (c:\program files(x86)\steam)

Step 3

Delete Clientregistry.blob file

Step 4

Download the new steam.exe file (the newer version that comes after update) and replace it with the already existing steam.exe file in steam folder.

Now I have uploaded the file here http://www.mediafire.com/?xgy2z5rc47x5nrt. No need to worry, the file has been scanned at Virus Total so you can view the summary report. Its completely free of viruses or anything. Just an updated version of steam.exe.

Step 5

Now just run steam.exe without any compatibilty mode or anything. It will start updating soon (after 1 minute, it wont show any error or anything, it will star updating steam platform files, and you will have your steam client ready to play your favourite games.

DONE! Whew! Finally that error is gone and it installed.

You can view the video also, how to fix this error, or just follow the above mentioned steps, quick and easy.

Remove Lag, Framing, FPS Drop - FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Q.1 Why is it lagging?

Check latency, fps and rates. These are only three factors responsible for lag.

Q.2 Why my latency is high like over 100 or 200+?

There are only 4 possible reasons for this:

Reason 1

Playing on a server that is close to your location decreases latency or ping, lesser the latency more smoother and lag free the gameplay will be. eg. if someone playing from USA joins a server in Asia, then he would probably get over 100 ping because it takes some time for the packets to travel over such larger distances. So choose the location that is closer to you, you can see the list of servers location-based from here www.game-monitor.com

Reason 2

Make sure you are not downloading or uploading anything or some background process may be windows updates or some other process is utilizing your network resources, unless your bandwidth is very high. Because it hogs the bandwidth and make your game lag.

Reason 3

May be your ISP is having some routing problem, (not choosing the shortest path to the server).

Reason 4

Not playing the game on recommended internet speeds or lesser than that like dial-up connection leads to higher latencies. Playing on a wireless satellite or mobile connection sometimes may lead to spikes or sudden ping jumps.

Q.3 Why my fps is low like below 60. and they fluctuate alot?

Either the game is not running on recommended system specifications (i.e low power processor or graphics card or system RAM) or some other process is utilizing system resources. You can try freeware Game Booster from http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html.

Q.4 How to check in-game FPS?

For counter strike 1.6 / source / or any valve engine based game type net_graph 1 in console to see the FPS, rates and ping. For other games like unreal tournament type timedemo 1 in console. Or just download FRAPS software to benchmark and also display the FPS on the corner of the screen.

Q.5 I have a good graphics card but still fps is dropping. why?

Step 1:

Check your task manager or process explorer for some other process utilizing the CPU or system RAM, because not only the graphics power is required to run the game, but also CPU power and RAM have to be available.

Step 2:

Check if your graphics card or system is not heated much, for graphics card, temperature about 80 degrees celcius is not an issue, but for CPU 80 degrees celcius is very high, a good freeware for this to check is HWMonitor to see the thermal and power status of your system.

Contact your hardware manufacturer for heating issues, if your system needs some cooling solution, go for it, but for counter strike 1.6, overheating wont be an issue.

Step 3:

Get a better CPU, because counter strike requires higher CPU usage, when more models and bullet fire is there.
Minimum recommended passmark score to run cs 1.6 smoothly is 800 and above.
Check your CPU scores from http://www.cpubenchmark.net/

Q.6 My latency and fps are all perfect but still its lagging. Why?

May be your (client) rates are low or server rates are low.

Q.7 What server rates should I play on?

You cannot change the server rates unless you have the rcon password of the server. But you can change your client rates.

Q.8 What client rates should I play on?

Open console and type in the following

cl_rate 9999
cl_cmdrate 101
cl_updaterate 101
fps_max 101
rate 25000
reconnect

Q.9 I want to start a server with maximum rates what they should be?

sv_minupdaterate 101
sv_maxupdaterate 101
sv_maxrate 25000
sv_minrate 10000
fps_max 512
sys_tickrate 1024

Q. 10 Will my server lag if I start the server at maximum rates?

It depends upon number of players and your bandwidth. For information visit http://csfragzone.blogspot.com/2010/01/make-lag-free-server.html

You can see game servers, that are in your account and change password option to change the existing game panel login password.

In game servers option you will see

Which allows you to restart and stop or change the server name.

Noforce Commands Actual Implementaion

To solve the problem of noforce commands usage by the gamers in professional gaming industry, I have written this article, after reading 1 article from http://www.gotfrag.com/, many discussions are have now been done, still its left a mystery.

As we know, there are three noforce commands

-noforcemparms
-noforcemaccel
-noforcemspd

Now at first glance this is really confusing for the gamers of which ones to use? All the three? or only -noforcemparms (+) -noforcemaccel which I also use, or what? What do these commands do. Will acceleration will be permanently off If I just use 1 or 2, omg, now this is confusing.

Recommended noforce commands are -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel

Now coming to the point,
Windows OS controls mouse movement with the help of three parameters - MouseSpeed, MouseThresHold1, MouseThreshHold2.

MouseSpeed (int) parameter can have 3 values - 0, 1 and 2
0 means no acceleration , 1 means only double the input distance if its greater than MouseThreshHold1 Value and 2 means again double the distance calculated after checking the previous condition. So a maximum of 4 times of increase in distance. (This will become clearer).

MouseThreshHold1 (int) can have values between [0, 12].
MouseThreshHold2 (int) can have values between [0, 12].

Mouse acceleration - Internal Mechanism

At various time intervals, Windows polls the relative distance of mouse moved and speed of mouse. It now checks two conditions.

1.) If distance moved either in x or y direction is greater than MouseThreshHold1 value AND MouseSpeed parameter is set to 1 windows doubles the distance.

2.) If moved distance is greater MouseThreshHold2 Value AND MouseSpeed parameter is set to 2 then windows doubles the distance calculated from first condition.

So a maximum of 4 times increase in distance.

If parameters are (0, 1, 3) (MouseSpeed, MouseThreshHold1, MouseThreshHold2) and you move the mouse 5 units, windows wont check any condition as MouseSpeed is set to 0 and will move the mouse 5*k (Some Constant, known as sensitivity).

If parameters are (1, 2, 4)
You move the mouse 3 units, now this is greater than 2 and MouseSpeed is set to 1, so windows doubles it and moves 6*k units. It wont check 2nd condition as MouseSpeed is set to 1 not to 2 even if user moves the mouse greater than 4 units.

If parameters are (2, 2, 4)
You move the mouse 5 units, windows first doubles the distance and come to second conditions, which is also true, windows agains doubles the distance, so 5 x 2 x 2 = 50 units moved (multiplied some constant).

In very simple custom C language this would look like

if(MouseSpeed > 0)

{

if(dx > MouseThreshHold1 || dy > MouseThreshHold1)

{

DistanceX *= 2;

DistanceY *= 2;

}

if(MouseSpeed == 2 && dx > MouseThreshHold2 || dy > MouseThreshHold2)

{

DistanceX *= 2;

DistanceY *= 2;

}

}

Now clearly, the windows will only double the distance if MouseSpeed is not zero.
If its zero (that is only noforcemspd parameter), windows wont go into the if condition.

So now, inorder to remove the acceleration we have just to set MouseSpeed parameter to 0, this wont allow windows to check any condition of accelerating the mouse (doubling the distance). This is what 'Enhance Pointer Precision' option does, Unchecking it will set MouseSpeed value to 0.

noforcemspd uses the value of Windows MouseSpeed, if 'Enhance Pointer Precision' is turned on then MouseSpeed > 0 (1 or 2 values are set from the slider position, each position of slider modifies array of 3 integers), if its off then MouseSpeed = 0, which disables the acceleration completely.

Now noforcemaccel sets MouseThreshHold1 and MouseThreshHold2 values to windows default. So there is not any change seen when applying only and only -noforcemaccel

Only using -noforcemspd will disable complete acceleration, there is no need of using -noforcemaccel

And, -noforcemparms  is a combination of -noforcemspd -noforcemaccel.

Gaming Mouse

Gaming mouse for CS 1.6 is essential for perfect aiming, a gaming mouse basically does NOT / must NOT have drift control in it. Drift control is prediction mechanism of mouse movement so that mouse pointer moves in straight line even when user makes a small change along the axis perpendicular to movement axis. This prevents gamers to miss the target.





Today all gaming mouse are without any drift control.
eg. Razer DeathAdder, Mx 518, Intelli, Xai, etc.

Another Feature of gaming mouse is smooth pixel precise movement, this is achieved by teflon feets or some other smooth material underneath the mouse, so that it glides smoothly on a gaming mouse pads. This gives gamers the ability to move the mouse swiftly without any effort against friction.

Other features of gaming mice includes DPI, on the fly sensitivity adjustment, large fps, light weight cord, Xai also includes LCD backpanel to adjust the settings of the mouse on the fly.

All these features makes gaming mice a product to be owned by every gamer, with its flawless ergonomic design and pixel precise movements.

Remove Mouse Acceleration - How to use noforce commands in CS 1.6 and Counter-Strike CZ

Noforce commands basically are for disabling mouse acceleration in counter strike 1.6 / source, its on by default even if enhance pointer precision option is turned off.

To disable it you must use the noforce commands.
1. Open control panel and open mouse properties.
2. Uncheck 'Enhance pointer precision' option in pointers tab. Dont worry, it wont degrade any precision of pointer or something, this option is meant only for low DPI mice back some years.

3. Click apply and ok.
4. Open steam, goto games list, right click on the Counter Strike 1.6 and select properties.

5. Click on set launch options button and in the text field type this
-noforcemparms -noforcemaccel
6. Click on ok, and run the game.
7. For non-steam users create a shortcut of hl.exe and in its properties put -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel just after 1 space (after double quotes) in the target field.

Tip about mouse acceleration:

Mouse acceleration should not be turned on while gaming, its not good in gaming, as you can miss the targets easily, specially in First-Person-Shooter games like Counter-Strike 1.6, Quake 3 Arena etc. It can be turned off by unchecking the "Enhance Pointer Precision" in control panel, but in some games its on by default, like Counter Strike 1.6.
