Steam has been updated with a new community beta function, allowing players to join groups and schedule events. Details of the official bit-tech.net group lay within!

So, are we playing a game of Hidden or what?

CardJoe · 7th Aug 2007, 11:44

http://www.hidden-source.com/ - for people who want it. As I said in the community post, I'm game for a match of it. If people want CS:S or HL2DM or whatever though then we can do that too.

Excellent! - I've joined, however I can't get your (multi-core) server to come up in my Servers list.

Think it might be a bug as I haven't been able to add new servers recently.

I'm sure myself and some clan mates would be will for some CS:S lovin' -

Joining it as we speak! Anyone else got Dystopia or Insurgency?

Jack_Pepsi · 7th Aug 2007, 14:00

Insurgency!

HugoB · 7th Aug 2007, 14:22

Dystopia cheesecake!!!

Blademrk · 7th Aug 2007, 19:33

Quick question, if I've already got a game, say Doom 3, can I use the ID key to activate it on steam so I wouldn't need to use the CD anymore? or does it only work if you buy it again over steam?

That seems to vary game to game, steam supports the option, but it seems like not every publisher does.

Blademrk · 7th Aug 2007, 20:47

ok, thanks.

One doesn't need the CD anyway to run Doom 3. You have got it fully updated right?

Blademrk · 7th Aug 2007, 22:08

I was just using Doom 3 as an example, haven't had Doom installed in quite a while

LeMaltor · 7th Aug 2007, 22:41

Loving Insurgency, it felt a bit different to start with but grew on me very quickly

steveo_mcg · 8th Aug 2007, 10:08

Is it possible to see what others are playing and what server they are playing on? I went on last night although i could see others i couldn't work out where every one was, so i gave up and played zombie master (which we should all play).
