I do IT for a living. No way in heck would I ever use ANY of those system-breaking tools like CCleaner. My company has done loads of testing with these tools, and even on a fresh install without even drivers installed, it wants to delete registry settings. Bad tool!

I did just compare. The Steam version is indeed broken. DVD version updated to 1.4b with GWX, same as Steam. Both have identical settings. Steam version does not use function keys like F10, DVD does. Steam version shows nothing on map at all, ever. DVD version does when the correct conditions are met. based upon this, despite the Steam version claiming to be 1.4b, I believe it is an undocumented 1.4c or 1.5. They did SOMETHING to the Steam version which breaks things. The odd thing is that the DVD version works flawlessly even when run from Steam so I can use the overlay. In other words, the original release we all played work with or without Steam, but the Steam version doesn't. Strange.
