Latest update & Steam Groups

**Barlowe** · November 15th, 2008, 05:11 PM

So, this seems kind of interesting from the latest demo update:

Added the ability to tie game servers to Steam Community groups. Group administrators can now see the GroupID on the group's administrative page, which can be used as the value for sv_steamgroup. Users that are in that group will then be able to browse directly to them from the main menu

So we'll be able to have our own servers as Alan talked about from Velocity Servers, and just access those to play with each other from the main menu...Is that freakin' sweet or what?

The servers are set up and ready.....

That is a very cool feature. *Joins l4d forum steam group*

I haven't found any servers for our steam group yet, but the game now also tracks how many times you protect teammates - so when you hit the first safe room, it also has the "protector" stat, showing that

No. They still need to be linked in etc and it is beyond my expertise so I'm relying on CAW and/or Sierra Oscar to take care of things.

Although, if we have some experienced server admins within the membership......
