Retail: Cant find steam games anymore!

[zkl]

Has anybody else the prob atm?

yesterday it worked..


UPDATE: it works again

[OrR]

Are the patch versions compatible? AFAIK Steam users only get the patch in a few days while the retail version already uses it.

[Xocrates]

Yes, 1.0.6 is compatible with all 1.05, including Steam.

And how do you tell apart Retail from Steam by the way?

[mmax718]

does someone know, why the patch for steam comes later?? i think its not good for the community..

do you think the next patches will come at the self time for the users of steam and the normal users.. ???


i think it would be MUCH BETTER

In the words of Jimmy Carr, "Yeah, fuck grammar, we're in a hurry."

[zkl]

this is really annoying i wanted to play today but only very few games are available to me (i can only join retail games as mentioned)

edit: to socrates

i am playing together with a friend who has steam and he sees totally different servers i cant see. plus i asked for the game versions the last games and i didnt meet a single steam user.

Verpiss dich. English doesn't need to be your mother tongue in order to know how capitalise and punctuate, especially when you first language is German. If you want answers from people around here you're going to have to stop living up to the Steam user stereotype by growing the fuck up and learning to type.

[zkl]

These aren't the Steam forums, kiddo. If you want help around here you're going to have to put a lot more effort into your posts otherwise people won't bother to read what you write let alone write a response.

I take it you've never learnt German, but then, you type in the exact same shitty way as him so you would try to defend him.

i think my questions can only answered by a producer, i dont think that anybody know if the next patches came out at the same day for steam- and normalusers..

i love the smell of a flame war in the evening

[bert_the_turtle]

Regarding the versions, they all should be compatible. If that appears not to be the case, please provide a screenshot (say, of a server browser list where almost all of the servers are red because they're incompatible). I'm using the steam version here too and don't see any less games than usual.

Also, as we know from the experience with Defcon, patches take a while to be processed by Valve so they can get to steam customers. The only way to release patches to all customers at once would be to wait for that process to finish, and that means letting the direct customers wait for their patch. I agree that with compatibility breaking patches, that's the way to go: you want to make them available to everyone at once. But this is not such a patch.

Sorry? I didn't understand what you just said.
