Mmmmm! The words "steam" and "beta" together in the same sentence gives me a good reason to run away!

Gonna have a look at it, as it possible cant be worse, then the current build..
Updated:
The upstart time of steam have been dramatically decreased, it now loads almost instantly..
All game icon in the game list are missing tho...
Hmm, so if you lumped together "steam", "beta" with a bit of "vista" and "overclock", who'd be left sane?

You know we are talking about steam right.. possibly one of the most unreliable pieces of software this century :P

Can't say I had a problem, last night was the first night in a long time I didn't have one lag spike, my FPS was through the roof and the game loaded in half the time it normally takes.
Seems to work OK. If anything, Steam loads a little quicker, apart from that I can't see any difference.
They need to sort TF2 server loading times, it takes ages. I'll steer clear of this beta for now. :norty:
