You'll dehydrate before an EDS person gets you a drink!

Freak and myself had a great game of deathmatch last night, bouncing toilets off each other's heads along with a few others!

The xfire thing doesn't seem to be any better than the in-game friends system, but it's like an extra messenger so at least you can see who is online and so on.

More tonight from about 9pm onwards I think

Yep...your on my 'list now...along with Nelly784...who I assume is our nelly from Cornerspeed?

Didn't get a chance to get on last nite...and I'm out tonight till about 10.00...but I'll try and get on after that.

So Xfire tells you who's online...but how do you find out what server they are playing on?

Yep, that's me
I tried to figure it out last night and didn't have much luck. Will have another go tonight.
I'm a bit out of touch with all this gaming, but used to play UT tournament a bit, so we'll see.
I'll make good target practice if nowt else

So did you manages to get on and play then Neil?

It does take a while to figure just whats goin' on...first few times I was getting battered from all angles, but you soon learn which weapons are best...where they are hidden etc.

I think its also best to go on a server with not too many players, say 8 or 10 max...otherwise it just gets silly...you spawn into the middle of a full blown battle zone and get ****ted straight away!

From what I could work out, xfire will tell you which server someone is playing on if you click the "extended info" button which is the arrow on the right-hand side of xfire.

You should then be able to click the Joypad icon to jump into the same server and join them.

However.... we couldn't get this to work last night, but chances are we were doing it wrong anyway, so we simply used xfire as a messaging tool to let each other know where we were.

It may be that xfire doesn't fully support HL2DM as it's so new, and it also seemed that the Steam server auth was knocked out (or dodgy at best) last night too, so that may also have caused problems.

If we ever get this sorted and end up online at the same time, we should choose a server with no one else on it...would be a laugh!
