G'day bruce my names bruce! heres my steam on LAN info - message all your attendees that they need to update their steam to midnight before the LAN then they need to right click on their steam and choose "Exit" and not "Exit and Logout". This will allow them to startup in offline mode when they get there and they can play on the LAN as much as they need to. If you can - get a small net connection so that if someone exits and logs out you can re-login and then they can continue playing.
The thing i would recommend more than anything is to test your servers with the clients as soon as possible to make sure they all work. Hope this helps Regards, Matt White [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hlds_linux- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Luca Grossi Sent: 09 July 2004 03:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds_linux] Steam over LAN G'day I was wondering if anyone could tell me the best approach in running steam on a lan? We anticipate around 450 players participating. I was wondering if Firstly is it possible to allow players just to authentication but blocking updates ? Secondly could we setup a local cache server to provide player with content Because of limitations to the bandwidth that is provided to us at the venue allowing players to connect and auth/update this isn't feasible unfortunately Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance Luca Grossi _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
