"How Can I Get CSS Working Online For Free??" - I'll Show you in this FAQ "How Does A Cracked Steam Client Work?" - This Question Made Me want to write this FAQ The Most! ANSWER: It Patches a .dll In your steam directory to make it seem like you have every game, though, next to none of these games are actually available to you, it's like a teaser to a cracked steam client... PART ONE: Cracked Steam Clients Ok First Off I'm Going to go in-depth with how a Cracked Steam Client works, what it does, and how it can benefit you... Read on!: A Cracked Steam Client Is a program (a modified version of steam) Or Patcher (usually a .dll patcher) Made specifically to patch your STEAM.DLL File in your steam directory, it is in this file, where the data that corrosponds with your account, and your client itself is stored. a Cracked steam client is usually a patcher these days, what these patchers do is modify your STEAM.DLL to say that any user that logs in with any account on YOUR steam client, will have every game, though!, this is entirely not true. You may notice, if you've ever used a cracked / patched steam, that when you double click just about any game that you dont already have the files for (the .gcfs, ill explain soon) it will give you an error saying: "The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request, please try again later!"Or something Very similar. What steam is really saying is: "You Don't have a chance in hell of downloading this file, you don't even have the base files required so i know you are not using a real steam account that has this game!!" It's saying this because you don't have the .gcf files required to download that game, in a way, they act as verification files, if you have them, it will download it. (Very slowly i might add!) This is why, when someone buys a game from steam, the cracking community are always begging for the .gcf that you get when you activate it for your account, (the file thats in STEAM FOLDER/STEAM APPS / USERNAME /) Because once they have that file they can upload it to anywhere they like and let the leech's download it, place it in their steam directory/steam apps/username, run their patched client and download it. But, say your thinking "Oh! so i just need one small file, then i can get this game with my patched steam, and play it online with my friends, without paying a thing right?!" WRONG. When you have downloaded it, you will NOT be able to play it online because of the verification servers that are inside every server with VAC2 Cheat protection enabled, if these servers go down, you can play online. The ONLY other way to play them online with these patched clients is to play on cracked servers, cracked servers are servers created by people with cracked clients / games. so say, jimmy has bought cs, and he wants his friends to play it online against him in his server(jimmy is a power whore), but they cant afford it, they, even with a cracked client will not be able to play with him on jimmys server, Unless: steam verification servers go down Jimmy is using a cracked client aswell and hosts a Cracked server! It's that simple. and that's why when you download a cs.iso , and try to play online, it fails miserably, you HAVE to play on cracked servers ;) ALSO they can only be played when you have downloaded approx. 4gb of .gcf files (hl2 content etc) in short, cracked clients suck at online play, and are like DVDs in a glass case. The DVD = Online Play The Glass Case / security camera = Verification Servers The Keys to the glass case = GCF Files Crowbar that smashes the glass case & security servers = Steam Cafe Accounts :lol: You can only get so far with your KEYS, you will though, be caught straight away by the SECURITY CAMERAS MOVING ON! STEAM CAFE ACCOUNTS Say you go play at a lan party that supply their own computers, you say to yourself, they have all the games, they must be using a patched client because they can only play LAN! (some can play multiplayer) Well once again you're wrong. They are Logged into a Cafe Account, Valve offers Steam cafe accounts For certain membership prices, more info @ steampowered.com (steams website) So now you wanna know what's so good about these cafe clients, how you can get one free, and how they work. Read on! Cafe accounts are not legaly free, i can show you ways to get them free, they can though, download roughly - NINETY PERCENT of steams range of games! AND play them online, all legaly too. as far as pricing goes, these baby's are valve's dream come true! as far as the exploiting goes, these are valve's worst nightmare. The Cafe accounts basically are accounts with most games (as stated, approx 90%) pre-purchased and activated on them. They are allowed through by the verification servers (glassbox/security) because they are valves and they run the same client , .dll's and legitimate cd keys. As for the "KEYS" you say? their .gcfs are also legit, so now all thats left is your "DVD" (online play!) In short, cafe accounts are like the staff or a crowbar. they can get through and take the DVD because they are allowed to and they can break through and steal the dvd if they are aquired. ;) "Hurry up and give me a cafe account then please!!!" Well, i Can't exactly give you a client to use straight away, but, i can give you the names of .exe's (its alright, not patched .dlls) that will open up a menu giving you access to about 30 cafe clients each time (IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE PW) NAMES: Cracked Steam Cafe Free steam Cafe Client Free Steam Cafe V3 So with these, you become store manager. Online play is yours you can download them straight away ENJOY! Now for my finaly part: The Mods, (GMod, And etc) To Get these Working: Singleplayer: Patch Your Steam (yeah, gay i know) download the files either seperately or with a cafe account Download the disered Mods .gcf File Place in steam folder/sourcemods or w/e open your patched steam client! then itll be on the list and will download/update - ENJOY! Online: (NOT YET TESTED) After doing the steps above, open your cafe account and select the mod and try playing online (SHOULD work.) TIP: Have two seperate installs of steam one for cracked one for cafe (legit) this is so no corrupting accurs Enjoy!! THE END By Ph! - http://www.bust3d.net
March 12, 200718 yr For lazy people like me could you just sum it up in one sentence and not the size of a book?
March 12, 200718 yr For lazy people like me could you just sum it up in one sentence and not the size of a book? you can get all games for free but i wont tell you
March 12, 200718 yr sucks AGREE!! it doesnt even help at all lol i tried to find the programs couldn't find any
March 12, 200718 yr Leopulse;454223']Nice.. i can see you spent a lot of time on this. :cool: QFT, +rep for you man good read, lots of things in there I didn't know. But, I also never tried cracked clients cause steam are ball busters and try to steal all of your shit if you steal a fucking ID from them for a few hours to piss pub scrubs off. AKA the old Cafe` accounts
March 13, 200718 yr Author The thing is As i said in my FIRST SENTENCE, this is outdated, hence why you can't find any of the programs, EVERYBODY know's that most cafe clients these days fail, anyway "sum it up in one sentence, not the size of a book" the aim was to teach people how each method works and so they can choose the best result to help them, so.. your repsonse isn't valid. Thanks to those who found this helpfull and more to come. END
