Maybe an interesting thing to think about. People who know the game League of Legends know what a free2play system can mean to your network load. Now I imagine VALVe's/steams network being massively larger, but still the influx of people seems to have a very negative effect on the steam backend stability. I am uncertain of course what's causing this, but perhaps this can be a tip. On LoL (afaik) paying players are being prioritized. Perhaps this is something to think of for TF2 as well - cause from what it looks like (specifically for loadsouts in peak hours) we're either getting queued or some general connection limit is set to prevent it from overloading.

I could post hundreds of lines of chatlog from users complaining, it would be nice to get an official statement of some sort. /Peter _______________________________________________ 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
