Steam still thinks you use the retail version.

Thanks! I will give your NOCD/DVD patch a try once I can get the upcoming stutter patch from Valve. Would do so now, but the game is unplayable for me currently!

BTW, I hope they don't add any such code, since it'd probably just screw everyone over more so than we are already. In any case, the cynic in me wouldn't be surprised if it ended up giving those with the actual Steam copy problems as well...
