Yeah, I don't think they were expecting such large number of people trying to download their game. They handled the launch pretty well in my opinion, it was obvious the server was struggling to cope with it all. It could be been a lot worse.

Well that's weird, I've never actually seen a Steam game be like 'thank you for buying, here's your CD key...'. It usually works from the Steam's master server.

It works?

So did Steam actually supply a CD key? I thought it was done on an 'this account is allowed, this one isn't.. blah blah' sort of thing. I wouldn't know because I didn't use Steam.

How would the MetaServer know which Steam accounts have bought the game? Lol... I believe it does the same as Source servers do (CS:S, HL2:DM, etc) when you connect to one, they retrieve the Steam ID (STEAM:x:x:xxxxxx) from the client and authenticate it with the master servers, then allow the clien...

Also, what the hell is up with your world map texture? It's not supposed to look really blurred like that.

Wow so it counts down and includes your Time Zone in it. So you mean if I live in a different timezone than GMT it is always going to show me a wrong countdown time? Because it's going to hit zero tomorrow at 20:00 my time, which is GMT +1, so it's going to be 19:00 in England which is wrong anyway...

Yeah, I get the same problem.

Okay. I know it won't take forever, but using the internet will kill the telephone connection. And killing the telephone connection for over 2 hours in an "Emergency medical service"-station isn't a good idea. Okay, they got ISDN, so there are two connections. But if there is an alarm the...
