Punkbuster wont update to add compatibility so you have to disable it in the game.

B comes before I

No the solution is to disable the overlay for that particular game. That way you can still play on PB servers with your Steam copy but you won't get kicked by PB.

Nonetheless, PB should be updated to recognise the Steam overlay as a legitimate program. Until then, CoD4 stays listed and CoD:WaW and BF2 get added as they're games that have Steam Overlay issues.

The Civ IV double listing wouldn't be too hard to fix I believe. It'd definitely clean up the list and make it look better.

forum links for black ops sp and mp link to main cod forum instead of black ops sub forum. cod united offensive expansion links to world at war sub forum.

title correction but that topic doesn't seem to be updated anymore

Yeah, that's due to auto-alphabetizing (I comes before R). Unless they allow manual sorting, I don't think that's going to be fixed.

Screenshot here.

Added, thanks!

Also: SO cool! a response from someone who can do something!

Actually, I know that some will show up. My community tab shows I have COIL since I've played it for a bit when it first came out. If there are issues with specific ones, I can add them. And yeah! I was really surprised and happy to see the Valve response

Very odd, but added.

You can see it on the screenshot: http://i53.tinypic.com/1sintt.jpg

It's a little difficult to tell, they might have tried to use a slight bevel or glowing edge effect. Can you take an image of how it appears in grid view at full size? Preferably with a surrounding grid image or two so I can see more than just the close cropped boundary.

As I pointed out above (and someone else responded to you), that's just something you get with an auto-alphabetization system (B coming before I, etc.) The way around this would be to add manual sorting, like is possible on the wishlist.

I actually never thought of making shortcuts to these to check. Will be adding! It looks like the Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 authoring tools have appropriate icons, though.

Added! What region are you from, or what region was your copy of Portal 2 purchased/gifted from?

I purchased it in the US through Steam online.
