Rick, 1) I think that's fixed.
2) I kinda like the idea of a simple tool that would tell them if the problem is on their end and not on valves, something simple that would show if they are actually connecting to the steam servers, and maybe an error msg with possible causes and links to help. Would make it friendly for newer and non-technically-inclined players. -Smurf From: "Rice, Rick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[email protected]'" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Steam UI Update Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 16:54:52 -0400 Reply-To: [email protected] LOL, funny man Alfred!! I noticed 2 things last night: 1. Each line in the games list has a little square box next to it. Obviously something is on the trailing end of the row that is not being parsed correctly (line feed, carriage return or the like). 2. When using tools, internet tab: I saw a message that I was not connected to an authentication server (or something along that line), but no other help is available except for the Steam Online Networking help. It would be nice if more is offered to supplement this, like a button to poll an authentication server, or a quick diagnostic utility specifically designed for steam to try and check network connectivity issues addressed in the Steam Help sections. For those that do not have the skill or understanding of potential problems, this would be both very informative, and also a good learning tool. Just a thought and IMHO! Overall, a very nice utility. Visually and aesthetically pleasing. Nice job to all at VALVe!!
