steam beta

[Del]

for those that dont use -noborder and want the intarwebs while playing, the new steam beta has a web knob on the overlay so you can surf w/o the alt-tab pain

it's beta, so if steam pains you, this may hurt more, but I'm using it n seems no worse than normal!

[Fester]

I will ask how you find it again after a few days of testing see is it easy to break!

Wont the overlay use IE though?

That would be the one issue Id have with it

[Del]

ya it does use ie. Thats why noborder rocks, but still handy for playing sourcetunes/streaming audio/wotevah without burps

[YamNivek]

Yeah I'll have to use that noborder one. Havent really bothered but will try it when i get home.

I try to not use IE unless I really have to!!

Noborder is a revelation, I'd definately recommend it

sorry to sound like a total iddiot, but what is noborder, and what does it do?

If you run TF2 in window mode allowing easy alt-tabbing during game, then you get the usual windows border around it (minimise button, etc). no border removes the border essentially making it a full screen game but still allowing the alt tabbing! Result

gotta run the game at same res as yer desktop tho

Yeh tru. Should hopefully be fairly obvious tho
