When they haven't got their ID it will return a STEAM_ID_*, for lan game I know its STEAM_ID_LAN. Which works for me to just keep polling it every few seconds till it returns something valid if it's the STEAM_ID_* string for an unresolved SteamID. I was thinking of using it to do a built in ban system to ban griefers from playing online with the mod I work on, but no one liked the idea :(
