I had hell trying to figure out what was wrong with one of my scripts
when eventually I tracked the source of the bug. 'Status' had been
sending me this on a Steam Half-Life Death Match server.
# 3 "6a6Ka_B_TanKaX" 229 4294967295 1 22:26 55 0 <IP Hidden>
Instead of a Steam ID, the player has 4294967295
Also the player's ID was the same in the logs as well. og L 11/13/2003 - 02:24:42: "kookie_monster<240><STEAM_0:0:1226334><240>" killed "6a6Ka_B_TanKaX<229><4294967295><229>" with "gluon gun"
Every other player's details were fine except this one guy, another new bug Steam has brought us or am I missing something? :)
4294967295 = 0xFFFFFFFF = -1
...which is used for LAN clients not authenticated with WON/Steam.
Perhaps -1 is also used for clients that haven't authenticated with Steam yet (pending authentification?)
