I have a Steam copy of Company of Heroes which I purchased over a year ago now so therefore I made a Relic account a long time ago. Because it was such a long time ago I have forgotten the login for my account and I am unable to make a new one without getting a new CD key. To be honest it's a bit stupid that I can't play Singleplayer without logging in to an online account.

I have already contacted Steam support but I will ask here anyway so that I hopefully get a quicker response. Am I able to play singleplayer without an online relic account?

Some guy put together a HUUGGEE picture of Obama's Inauguration and it allows you to see pretty much the whole of the crowd who were there as well as Obama himself. Awesome stuff.

Creator of Image said:
"My final photo is made up of 220 Canon G10 images and the file is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels. It took more than six and a half hours for the Gigapan software to put together all of the images on my Macbook Pro and the completed TIF file is almost 2 gigabytes."

It's fun to zoom in and find strange people in the crowd, oh and you can also see snipers on some of the rooftops.

Steam said:
Left 4 Dead has been updated with a host of fixes, tweaks and new features, including enhancements to Versus mode for improved competitive play. The full change list is below. For PC users the update will be applied automatically via Steam. Meanwhile, the update will be made available to Xbox 360 players in the coming weeks.


General

  • Fixed Survivors being able to climb surfaces marked for versus infected only
  • Fixed a class of SurvivorBot bugs dealing with rescuing downed players
  • Players can no longer grab ladders while flying through the air after a Tank punch
  • Shooting near a car with an alarm that has already fired the alarm will no longer make chirping noises
  • Improved loading time
  • Fixed mini-gun physics exploit
  • Fixed propane tanks (and other physics objects) causing players to fall through elevators
  • Fixed rare achievement bug issues
  • Fixed several map exploits
  • Fixed various match making issues
  • Fixed NAT traversal issues

Versus Changes
  • Added HUD elements to show status of other infected players
  • Changed color of infected player name in chat to red
  • Fixed exploit where players could spawn infected bots
  • Fixed instance where a Survivor changing to the infected team would be attacked by infected bots
  • Normalized special infected melee damage
  • Made the following client commands cheat protected: "Kill" and "explode"
  • Fixed exploit where infected players could run away and teleport back to gain health
  • Players can only change teams once per map
  • Players can't change teams while other players are still loading
  • Tank spawns at the same % through the map for both teams in versus mode
  • Made the Tank and Witch spawn directly on the escape route
  • Increased chance of getting the Tank or Witch
  • Fixed team swap issue

Hunter
  • Easier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing
  • Increased Minimum damage a Hunter pounce does

Smoker
  • Fixed Smoker tongue tolerance
  • Smoker now has to be killed or the tongue destroyed for the tongue to break
  • Survivors cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging
  • Tongue attacks that fail to paralyze or hang a Survivor will use the shorter ability delay timer
  • Fixed cases where the ability timer was not using the correct time
  • Fixed case where you could point at a Survivor but not register a tongue hit
  • Fixed Smoker tongue not targeting and landing properly through PZ ghosts
  • Smoker tongue does damage every second while dragging paralyzed Survivors

Tank
  • Bashable objects now appear with a red glow
  • Tanks hitting a car with an alarm disables the alarm permanently
  • Tank frustration timer is only reset by hitting Survivors with rocks or fists
  • Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks

Witch
  • Witch spawns at the same % through the map for both teams
  • Avoids spawning within a certain % of the tank
  • Fixed an exploit where the Witch could be woken up and tricked into attacking Survivors
I'm pretty pleased with the update, seems to have fixed most of the annoyances I had with the game and Versus mode now seems to be a whole lot fairer for both sides.

Laggy servers are really starting to piss me off because I have yet to find a server that doesn't have teleporting zombies so now I have just given up on looking for one. Playing singleplayer is getting boring and frustrating, I want 4 player co-op godamnit!

Anyone else having problems with laggy Dedicated servers?

When you submit a new page for the wiki this message shows up.

We need to check your submission. We normally approve changes within 24 hours. Once you earn 1000 points, you can bypass moderation. You currently have 1502 points.
It says "Once you earn 1000 points, you can bypass moderation." however you actually need 5000 points to be able to bypass moderation when submitting new pages.

When I try to change my email address in the 'Edit Profile' page the page will just refresh and the old email will still be there. I am trying to change the email address using Firefox 3 and Windows XP.

Another bug on the 'Edit Profile' page that I noticed was that the 'Zip' option seems to be filled with my username and I cannot change that either using the same browser and operating system.

Thank you.
