It was also brought up on the forums by Valve. It will be released alongside the SDK sometime this week." Update: 12/01 13:49 GMT by T : Since this was written, "this week" has turned into "now"; the update was released last night.

    While the deathmatch servers will not be running on the same hardware as the authentication servers (hopefully, anyway), let's hope we don't have the same opening day problems.

    Lag is bad enough when it happens due to "normal" conditions...it would be pretty bad press if it happened because of server/networking problems at steam/valve.
