2.3 patch and Steamworks
From the PVK2 website(www.pvkii.com):
Greetings all,
I have some great news from the PVK front! Valve has been very generous and helpful in allowing us access to the Steamworks technology, which we will be releasing 2.3 on. For those of you who don't already know, Steamworks will allow us to release the mod directly through Steam, including future updates which you can download automatically.
Although there's no release date planned, this is great news for all of us. It will make updating the mod a breeze as well as allow us to implement a wonderful system of achievements. We've already got over a hundred achievements planned for 2.3 and will see even more as future patches release!
In other 2.3 news, we have successfully ported over to the Orange Box engine. There are still some tweaks to make in different areas, but the bugs have been squashed. So far the Orange Box engine has offered us a ton of new features, some of which include:
- Objective-Based Scoring
- Kill Assists
- New Particle System
- Expressions
and much, much more..
Another feature we've got implemented is Color Correction. In 2.3 when a player goes Berserk, holds the Grail, or is close to death, they will see the world in a new way.
Last but certainly not least, we have implemented the Gestir class for the Vikings. He'll be carrying around a Langseax, a Spear and Javelins. He's undergoing testing now and more information will be available to you in the future.
Keep an eye open for more news on 2.3. We've got tons of features planned, this is only the tip of the iceberg!
Hopefully, by adding PVK2 to Steam, it will experience the explosion of popularity like Insurgency.
I'm really looking forward to this patch. I can't wait to see PVK achievements.

Re: 2.3 patch and Steamworks
I know that most of the PVKII and AoC Villuns are no longer with us, but for those of us who are still around (from time to time) 2.3 is has been out for almost a month now and is a lot of fun! The PVKII Team has been releasing patches, bug fixes, and balance changes consistently, making for smooth playing. This free HL2 mod is a great change of pace from grinding away at the other games that we've been playing for a few years.
Give it a try. You might just have some old fashioned unstructured fun.

Re: 2.3 patch and Steamworks
A shame that TheVille no longer has a PVKII server.
I guess an empty CSS RPG server is more palatable than attack parrots and Berserkers hopped up on serum.

Well just for the record it's standard CSS now, which I am glad we have.

It's been standard CSS for a while now. If you want to insult our servers, at least get the facts straight. We have a CSS server (that does get some use, and has more visible interest than PVK2) because it is donated by one of the server OPs. Comments like yours will not earn you much respect from those who provide the servers.
Anyway, unless many more people show interest in this, I don't see a PVK server appearing.

It was not my intent to "insult" the servers, their owners, or the Admins. I don't play CSS and know much of it besides the opinions of others. If any of the above mentioned took honest offense at my remarks, then I ask your pardon.
With that, I shall let the matter drop.

Alright, maybe I was a little harsh there. It was probably just your choice of emoticon, but that's just the impression I got from your post.
