Steam Cloud Plans [May 29, 2008, 10:12 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Maximum PC has a report on an event where Valve unveiled new features
planned for an upcoming Steam update, including automatic driver updates for
hardware and an integrated system requirements checker for games. Here's a bit
on the Steam Cloud:
Community enhancements include improved event planning – RSVP, calendar functions, and official communities are all part of the feature list. Gamers will be able to coordinate tournaments, use calendars to check up on their friends, and join communities set up by game publishers and developers.
The biggest news is that game-generated data will now be stored with your Steam accounts in Valve servers. This includes game profiles, configuration settings, and even savegames! Valve will first be rolling this feature out to existing games like the Half-Life franchise, TF2, Counter-Strike. Left4Dead will be the first new game to remotely save your progress.
Look in your registry for a hive called P2P.
It's nothing suspicious.
They said last year sometime that they were investigating ways of implementing a P2P system for Steam users, but the biggest hurdle they have is doing so and not opening themselves up to copyright infringement lawsuits from 3rd party companies.
Steam already has the functionality but it is not currently enabled.
