I found it, but didn't get it working properly quite yet, so I logged onto Steam and just downloaded the HL2 Ded server.... Even thou the server software was taking up nearly zero CPU resources, I was getting MAJOR stuttering when I was the ONLY person in the server!! Hmmmm...... Wonder if it is part of that stuttering problem I was hearing about!

not sure? like i was saying that whenever i went to play DM online the servers i went on there was no problems at all or that i had anyway. i don't know if others trying to play were having issues but there were enough of us running around fraggin each other that there didn't seem to be any issues. i havent tried to put up a server even though i do have ded server downloaded maybe i should try ;)

Valve disabled more than 30,000 Steam accounts

 

"Today Valve disabled more than 30,000 Steam accounts which had been used to try to illegally gain access to Valve games without a valid purchase.

 

Valve takes such activities seriously and reserves the right to disable Steam accounts engaging in piracy, cheating, illegal activities, or any other activity in violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement. The accounts that are disabled today will not be reactivated."

What's really sad about Valve is that the demo they released for HL2 even requires a connection & acct creation just to play. Gotta love a company who goes out of their way to do something like that.

 

Other than that, the demo is solid & I'm looking forward to owning the game one of these days.
