How to disable version checking

[lDrDooml]

According to the steam.inf file it says the following:

PatchVersion is used for that to ensure we don't get cross connecting to different releases.

So I was wondering if it could be possible for clients to connect to a server regardless of whether they have a slightly outdated version.

Checking a little more I was able to find the following:

// There's a magic number we use in the steam.inf in P4 that we don't update. // We can use this to detect if they are running out of P4, and if so, don't do any version // checking.

just remove steam.inf file?
