Quick warning for Steam Users

The new steam update presents you with a new exit option when you try to close steam. If you choose it make sure you know your password because when you restart steam you need to log in again!

Valve made it. I am starting to think Half-Life was just beginner's luck.

Re: Quick warning for Steam Users

Two more problems that I encountered with the most recent Steam update.

First, my email validation took forever to arrive, and I was unable to join Steam servers while I waited. I've since received the email, can play fine, and suspect anyone validating their address now will get much faster service, as I validated during peak usage, when the feature first came online. However, you might arrange things such that you're not in a big hurry to play when you click that "validate email" button.

Second, the most recent Steam update changed my Steam internet settings to "Modem 14.4". Heh. No matter what server I joined, my ping would swing within the boundaries (if you can call them that) of 50-5000, and my choke would be pegged at 100. It took me forever to figure out what was going on, but changing my settings back to what they were (setting my internet connection back to T1 and "rate 9999" -- Steam had set my rate to 1500!) immediately fixed my problem.

Just FYI, in case anyone else experiences similar symptoms.
