If it had a second counter for non-steam games I wouldn't have a problem with that. But hopefully the game you like gets greenlit onto steam so you don't have to worry about it.

Or you could just hunt down the somewhat new re-released GOLD edition of privateer. (http://privateer.en.softonic.com/) I had some problems with it due to not knowing anthing about the game and playing it cold. I probably also needed a joystick because keyboard and mouse just weren't cutting it.
Also for a non-privateer game thats like Privateer (but without all the religious babble and curses), try Drift: When worlds Collide from Cosmi (http://www.amazon.com/COSMI-Drift-Worlds-Collide-Windows-Pc/dp/B00008HBX7).

[edit]
On second thought Privateer is based on the Wing Commander universe. Try looking for those games too.

I like lots of chips though. Plain SunChips are alright. But I'll take Sea Salt & Vinegar if its not already stale on the shelf (Ms Vickies, I'm looking at you). I prefer Tim's cascade style.

On a fresh OS install (drive formatted, etc) then steam, then TF2 I sometimes don't see all my info. However, the second time I start TF2 its all there...

So start TF2 a second time. If its still missing info (your inventory, achevements, etc) then its connecting to an account that doesn't have it. Go to the properties of TF2 on the main steam window and look for the "use Steam Cloud" checkbox, make sure its checked and then start again.

I think that AD&D name generator is still floating around the internetz.

And obviously, I went the funny route. Actually this is my Halloween-ified screen name. It will return to normal wackyness after the big day.

I would certainly like to know which machines have been validated by Steam Guard and be able to individually unvalidate machines I've never used, replaced (clean install of windows, etc), or were from... somewhere else(TF2outpost, etc). Adding a nice "log me off of that other machine" button would be nice. No real need to show me system specs unless that can be added cheap.
Oh, and this would be info shown only to myself. Maybe a checkbox on the settings dialog to show/hide this info, but the rest of the world doesn't need an up to the second report of my machine (Its still a Pentium4, 2GB RAM, etc).

Its downloading a mass of files now. (Fingers crossed)

Well I think I'm on the right track but... I got this error:

Checking bootstrapper version ...
Getting version 50 of Steam HLDS Update Tool
Downloading. . . . . . . . . . .

C:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\HLServer>Checking bootstrapper version ...
Failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer, WinSock Error 0 "No error"


So are these General Directory Server's still running? Will the respond to a ping request? (if so, whats the ip address or hostname?) I don't see mention of any part of the error message on the hldsupdatetool instructions page. And I did switch to the HLServer folder before running it.

I ran this on an administrator command promp on Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Would there be anything extra I need to do?

The end result, no gearbox folder under my dedicated server folder. I'll pick at this some more, but I feel I'm close to getting this working.

So in order to play any multiplayer I can join any existing server and that would work just fine.

Setting up a "normal" listen server from inside Opposing Force won't allow others to connect and is "officially" broken with no fix in sight.

Installing Dedicated Server from the Tools list will not show Opposing Force on the game type menu.I'm a little unclear if I need Dedicated Server installed when I run the hldsupdate tool. I'm guessing it will re-download HL and OP4 so it would show up on the list finally (and hopefully work.

If I don't have Dedicated Server installed when I run the hlds update tool, it will download to a folder I specify (could be anywhere). Is that sufficient to start the server? Do I use hlds update tool to launch the server or will it be hl.exe as usual?

I'm going to try with DS installed, then run the update tool to pull opforce("gearbox") down into the DS folder, then launch DS and hopefully start my server from there.

Thanks for your help. I think I'm pretty close to understanding this now.
