Yes they have a steam compatible version, it is not official, the official one will be coming soon and is called 2.1 Anway I can't seem to find the compatible version anywhere. Can anyone find it?
Over in the Tech forum they have full details on how to get Steam to work with NS. It works great for me, asside from the right click menu sprite problem. Version 2.1 will be fully Steam complient, and include a wealth of other features that I look forward to, particurly as a newbie.
