It does use IE for downloading maps, thats what all the topics about this on the steam forums said and sure enough it looks like it does along with a few other things
like the vids on jaylenosgarage which finally started working for me after I fixed IE along with the new vids on the d2 brigade site
and I dont think there is, I guess its hardwired to only work with Internet Explorer unless your on a mac I guess.
i can!!! it just randomly stops working at times, as well as my whole steam overlay/web browser. but i regularly play youtube music while zombie modding. not to show off or anything :P
i can also use multilple background programs while playing css, such as ie, google chrome, wmp, and even bit torrent, without causing any major ping/latency issues. although limewire always fucks it up. good thing i dont use it anymore!!!
this thread doesnt solve anything kavinsky. wtf did u redirect here 4? i have ie and google chrome and still cant dl some maps...
