Well, I play TFC, and that's it pretty much. Been playing HL since mid 1998 (still have the original CD, with a commercial to King's Quest - Mask of Eternity on the back. Been using STEAM since the beta days, and till now (really, i'm still using steam!).

Beta testings

Please do not edit

• Will be moved to beta test talk when done

I've made some testings

• How the tests were made:

1. I ignored the first result of each test, since it's much higher than all of the others - hence useless
2. Load game: Started timing the moment the screen turned black (in hl2dm it's after the intro movie)
3. Create Map: No bots or any other special settings, started timing when clicked on "create map"

• Maps used for the tests:

CS:S map: cs_office

HL2:DM map: dm_overwatch

With Beta command
Game	Action	Time (sec')			Average
CS:S	Load game	16	16.9	15.7	16.2
	Create Map	33.5	29.42	28.3	30.4
HL2:DM	Load game	11	11.7	10.7	11.1
	Create Map	22.5	24.7	22.5	23.2
Without Beta command
Game	Action	Time (sec')			Average
CS:S	Load game	13.1	12.5	12.5	12.7
	Create Map	26.6	25	24.3	25.3
HL2:DM	Load game	9.3	9.3	9.5	9.4
	Create Map	25.3	26.8	25.8	26

• Conclussion:

1. CS:S loading times (both loading the game and creating a server) have increased by average of 4sec'
2. HL2:DM game load time have pretty much remained the same, but map creating time have decreased by an average of 3 sec'
