I agree with everything said above. I am disappointed in Valve in trying to implement STEAM before they were ready. I can't really tell if STEAM is crap or if Valve just didn't have their act together.
Regarding the Ricochet issue of no sound when YOU are jumping...this seems to be a client issue and not any changes to the game dll. I put the STEAM ricochet dll on my non-STEAM server and the sound magically reappeared. Also, regarding the slowness of playing in Ricochet, that may be an inherent STEAM issue or because of bandwidth, although ping was quite low.
I do not believe there were any changes to the Ricochet dll and I also believe we can still replace the server dll with our own. I am hoping to be able to install a Ricochet server but so far no luck in d/l.
