I go to Lanwar quite a bit, pretty big lan for those that do not know. They designate a specific day (usually late two days before the lan) where they tell everyone NOT to start steam again until the lan starts. The lans usually start Sat. they tell everyone not to start steam any later than 12:00 am Thursday. This insures that everyone has the same version and can play together (a bunch always screw it up anyways).
Yeah, but this method has proven in the past to be tricky to say the least ;) And most people, certainly on broadband connections, like myself ;), have Steam on auto-update at OS boot.
You can share the gcf files in C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps and update anyone who needs it that way, I have three legitimate copies of hl2 in my house networked, since I am on dial-up I update one of them, then I just share those files to update the others and copy them over, seems to work just fine for me.
This sounds like a good suggestion, I'll certainly give this a try. Thanks for your help! Edwin _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
