Yep Steam totaly buggered up out lan when it came to playing HL2 deathmatch
and CS I could play CS but for some reason I couldnt play hl2 and hl2 DM,
thinking on banning it from my lan parties in future. Im glad to see Dice
has taken a resonable stance on the matter :) looks like we will be playing
BF2 at my lans :)
